Won’t you join me tonight

a   c   t   cra    zy 

R   u   n   from my nightmares, hiding inside me
Dissect my thoughts 
Hold me to them
Don’t let me crawl out from under them
 
I’m frighten  f  r  o  m   my illusion’s 
S   t   r  a  p  me down 
Before I  r u n  away
Roll me down 
To the crazy floor
Toss me out and run away
Don’t look back
I’m acting crazy
