Insanity

Insanity is a funny thing

I often find myself overanalyzing things

Waiting for the lightbulb to explode

The musics sudden stop

The tears drowning out the sound

The insanity taking over

In a way, it's like that lightbulb

The fire contained inside

The glass surrounding you threatening to explode

 

Emotions

All bottled up

The pounding of the lyrics of life

Forming tears that threaten to fall

People swarming around

Your glass about to break

Your cover blown

You have to bottle your fire

Fake a smile

And put on your mask

Different days, same ways

Drowning yourself in music to try and control it

But the insanity

Starts to take over

The fire is getting bigger

The glass warmer

Heating up

Slowly, people start to notice

They realize your lightbulb is cracked

Yet they fail to notice how close you are to shattering

Each day, a little piece cracks

So close to shattering

Cutting skin like paper so you don't break

Cutting it instead of the lightbulb

But

Soon

It isn't enough

The noise of life catches up

Suddenly all there is is a dull ringing

Gone

Shattered

and as the lightbulb is, so is the person.
