Insanity

Insanity

Insanity might run in the family
Do I scream out loud for no reason
Or do I scratch my face up for no reason
I am stress
Insanity I am walking down the street just kicking stones
Stress
Insanity I lost my favorite job
I can't pay my school loans
Stress
I cannot pay my mortgage
I feel a little bit of my insanity coming on right now
I take pills nothing works
I look in the mirror and see two different people
I don't realize who I am
I have been caught so many times in my own crazy world
I am just walking on thin air
I am just existing
the economy has me talking to myself
I have lost it i hear my thoughts
I am talking back to my thoughts
the after is hitting me hard now from the pills I took
will this rush ever stop
I feel very eerie
I just want this life to hurry up and end
so I can live again
debt free
