Deadly Thoughts

Adolfo Camacho

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
