From Calm and Quiet Sanity
From calm and quiet sanity
The source of my confusion
Brought riot to reality
And force behind delusion
Assaulting me and leaving me
In silent desperation
Affronting my humanity
Inside this degradation
What unseen force maliciously
Devoid of good intention
Is crushing me perniciously
In thoughts of my invention
Binding me with indecision's
Deepening despair
Blinding me with visions
Of a world that isn't there
The shackles of this grand design
Are chains I cannot see
And yet they check this life of mine
Through false reality
In crushing weight of hopelessness
I suffer silently
A victim of this mind mess
Some might call insanity
Some struggle for the right to live
While others live to die
Or battle through the night to give
Some meaning to the lie
The mystery they can't reveal
Is one with no solution
How can I know if life is real
Or really an illusion?
