Crazy.

Cry out to the ones who never listen
Beat upon the backs of those that cannot feel
Ask questions for the ones who never speak
Tell the deaf man all your woes
Explain to the child the meaning of life
Scream in the white room that holds no sound
Look into nothing and watch yourself drown
Stare in the mirror for days on end
Watch the doll raise it's dainty hand
See your mind twist and wander
Cut it into pieces and ponder
Twist your neck all the way around
Lets see how a screwdriver might sound
Bend you back till you're flat as a board
Tuck yourself away and do it some more
Stretch your limbs and let them bend
See if you can touch the ceiling again
Look at the world from another view
Maybe the hare will give tea to you
Roll on the tacks and into the tar
You'll turn into a deadly squall
Lay down smack in the middle of the street
Watch all the crows as they come to eat
Remove your eyes and place them on a platter
Watch them devoured by the one and only hatter
Cut open your stomach and watch the worms
How they twist and how they squirm
Dream into nightmares and twirling blades
Somehow the flesh will be cut by the spade
Sit upright in the upside-down room
See what the people have done to you.
