Depths of Insanity
The warmest and most welcoming of arms
The comfort and peace of mind as you lay down
Everything's ok now.
We've reached the depths of insanity
Your mind’s betrayed you,
The brain is in turmoil.
Blood boiling, emotions spewing
Heart darkened a shade of black
Darker than the coldest night
Perhaps it was just a mistake?
This isn’t your home
You don’t want to be here
But for some reason…
You are
What happened?
What took you so far?
Where did you forget how to swim?
In the river of denial.
It was them
The one’s who don’t understand
The one’s who say everything you did was a mistake
The one’s who say you’re nothing
Well now they've won
Are you happy now?
Did bringing the ones just like you down so far
Make you feel any better?
Did they really mean nothing?
You forget to understand
We’re people too.
Maybe we have people we love
Maybe we have people who depend on us
Maybe we WANT to be happy for once!
Maybe instead of only caring about yourself,
You consider us too.
The freaks
The weirdos
The clowns
The gays.
We’re all people too.
But you, the very people we looked up to
And wanted to be one day
The people who could smile and laugh
The people who didn't have a care in the world.
You're the ones who brought us down.
You're the ones who thought we weren't worthy
So please, by all means.
Keep going
Develop your “perfect little world”
Without us, it won’t work.
We’re part of this planet to.
We’re people too.
So all of you idiots who say
“Go kill yourself”
or
“No one loves you”
Please, keep going.
Its not like we don’t know these things
We’re the outcast.
But we’re the most important.
Somewhere along the line, we messed up.
Learning experience as they call it.
We can make sure you don’t fall
Because don’t think you won’t make a mistake too.
But no, you push us away.
So when you start drowning,
When you fall.
Don’t expect us to be there
You never were for us.
With love, a weird, bisexual, class clown
