Madness

 
If Madness leads to freedom,
and to dark shall all things end.

I hold my mind for ransom,
and to dusk my soul I send.

You come here speaking of the light,
and all the good it brings,

but in the end you shall succumb
the truth that darkness sings.

You have a god to look upon,
and hope that gives you meaning,

but wait in time and you shall find
on your heart the darkness feeding.

What is this sickness in my heart?
A disease within my soul?

I just wish to give to you the gift of truth untold.

If you believe a cure is here,
A treatment for my ills.

I just prescribed an antidote
much greater than your pills.

Is my mind completely shattered?
Is my soul beyond repair?

For all I wish to give to thee
a broken dream of care.

The gift of this insanity
is truly a beauty to behold.

For when you crawl inside my mind,
The world you see don't seem as cold.

If Madness leads to freedom,
and to dark shall all things end.

I hold my mind for ransom,
and to dusk my soul I send..
