Where the Madness Lies

I am floating alone Untarnished and predisposed To flail about Till the freaks find out I’ve been shedding all my clothes Where the madness lies In my skin, my thighs I’ll make a break I will laugh and wait As my soul bursts from my eyes I am tangled deep Trying to free my feet But these sheets, they tear And they whisper, I fear The thoughts I can’t bear to repeat We are buried inside Snug, stuck as we hide Can’t bear to provoke For fear we may rock the yoke Our shell keeps us from coming alive So sail in your boat Atop your majestic muddy moat And whistle and cry As you sweetly deny That your vessel, it never could float
