the edge of sanity

   
you always wear    
your pain to bed    
   
cotton candied delusions    
that stick    
you can't wash them away    
no the madness stays    
& you enjoy it    
   
same as a midnight showing    
of a horror flick    
you glory in it    
the darkness of it all    
   
it's like riding a carnival ride    
until it makes you sick    
or looking into a fun house mirror    
until all you see is the lies    
the lethal kind    
   
that make you a true believer    
baptized born again    
as you speak in a tongue    
no one understands    
   
you're all in insane    
placed a high roller bet    
when you're holding jokers    
that wink at you    

& you know their laughing behind your back    
when the world is no longer friendly    
   
which brightly colored pill    
will save you?
