What's Stronger Than Insanity?

I am a madman
But you are in pain
So I'll set my delusions
aside for the day
I'll reschedule destruction
For later next week
On the off chance it grants you
a little more sleep

As we know, I am haunted
But you are afraid
You scream in my ears
'Til the dead walk away 
And I should check the window
But you are asleep
So for once in my life
I am at peace
