Analysis of Deadly Thoughts
This may bring horror and pain
A thought can be all it takes
It only comes to the insane
The thoughts inside your brain
Can cause more than headaches
This may bring horror and pain
The patters of the rain
Will make you wish for breaks
It only comes to the insane
If you let these thoughts be the main
Your mind it overtakes
This may bring horror and pain
Even if it you detain
Then come the earthquakes
It only comes to the insane
Happiness comes to the sane
But if you seek higher stakes
This may bring horror and pain
It only comes to the insane
