As I Slowly Go Insane
Verse 1
Insanity grips the minds of the people
Of those who dare open the door
To their hearts, which always get broken
Until they just can't take it no more
Verse 2
Love is the most beautiful emotion
As long as it doesn't sour
It can rape your feelings and scar your soul
It is given that kind of power
Refrain 1
So I drink 'til the feelings leave
And deny the anguish and pain
I fall to my knees as I beg your pardon
Please don't drive me insane
Verse 3
I want to be happy again
But I have somehow forgotten how
Taken by the one that I loved the most
And there is no chance of healing now
Verse 4
I tell myself that life must go on
And that this isn't who I am
But who am I really, it's so hard to remember
The voices tell me I don't need to give a damn
Refrain 2
So I shoot up 'til the feelings leave
And deny the anguish and pain
But there are demons on my doorstep
As I slowly go insane
Verse 5
You can find me in the gutter
Passed out in the driving rain
As it has become abundantly clear
That I will never again be sane
Refrain 3
The drink and the drugs don't stop the feelings
And I am FILLED with anguish and pain
My brain is on fire and I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY LONGER
I know now that I have finally ..... gone ..... insane
Insanity grips the minds of the people
