Kaleidoscope of Madness
A kaleidoscope of madness
Keeps spinning in my mind
The good, the bad, the in between
Forever inter-twined
Lost inside my decisions
Where did I let it go wrong
I find myself spinning
But find clarity in my song
I get high to take away the pain
And forget how I got here
I get drunk to stop the tremors
And dull all that I fear
Numbness is a virtue
That's what I believe
Taking steps away from God
And closer to what I can drink
Walking on a tight rope
Above a crowd of fools
A broken bottle to my throat
This balancing act I perform for the crowd will be sold out soon
If I fall that's entertaining
But survival's entertainment too
If I cut my throat mid-air for their pleasure
Do I win? Or do they lose?
