The Madness Coming Down

She’s feeling trapped & afraid and she’s sure that everybody spies She’s no longer the girl she once was with bright sparkling eyes Did it happen quickly, one day did her mind just suddenly explode? Or did it happen slowly over time so that nothing really showed? Now she cowers in a corner because to her monsters are real Society looks at her with pity we're not really sure how to deal We wonder how she got that way as we all turn away in shame If society does nothing should we shoulder some of the blame? Now she lives in a doorway and she’s too afraid to come out Because the shadows will protect her of this she has no doubt Who knows what it feels like and who can wrap their head around What happens to a broken mind when the madness comes down
