Cage. There's rage
You’re trapped inside
And your mind surrenders
To thoughts that play
To thoughts that blind
To the boiling blood
Pulsating in you veins
To cracks in your eyes
Tired with endless nights
And they call me insane
They call me insane
And if it is to be mad to dance your emotions
And sing your words
To live with zeal
And let dreams fly like birds
To cry if happy
And smile in sadness
To feel no pain
Touched by numbness
To be healed of wounds
And wounded by healings
Let the fury unfurl
O' thunder and lightning
Call me mad
Mind is a game
On a threshold, labelled insane
And there are screaming scratches
Hammering at walls and at the latches
Desperate to escape
Wailing for calmness to drape
Rising like a heartbeat
Falling like a heartbeat
Feelings are invincible
Through every edge of life
Scattered like dewdrops they tremble
Volatile
I pull myself in and hold my breath
Then burst and roll and bang the floor
Is it my tears or is it my sweat?
Where is the door? Where is the door?
When irregular beats is all you hear
And there's salt on your lips and tongue
When all's all right yet you clutch with fear
And try to remember where your sanity hung
When you lose the ability
To decipher your thoughts
And you lie awake in a dream
Or dream with open eyes
When you're stitching up your seams
But your senses die
When you realise
You started with short lines
And try to pour it all out in long rhymes
When you feel no pain greater
Than a paper cut, like slow poison
When you lose yourself in the now and later
Mind's a game, mind has won
When in the midst of decaying vision you find your clarity
I wouldn't mind, if they called this insanity
