Mad Man



In the locked mind of a madman
So dark so cruel so thoughtless
To the depth of the inner martian
Unfamiliar to a piece of mind
The peace of mind that comes with meaning, purpose and reason

All reason gone with the wind
Like a leaf that falls from a tree
The tree of life’s fuckery laughing at you
Smiling in your face

So come sweet calm, but not the calm before the storm
The calm of a sweet sweet kiss
The sorrow of a sad sad soul
A tortured soul of existence
Into the pain of a mind so torn
Torn between solace and defeat
