Mad

I am a mad pitiful creature who laughs at thunder and cackles with fire

Who swears at the rain and curses the ocean and I know one day that I'll end up somewhere no one has ever been before

At the bottom of a hole

At the tip of an iceberg, the soles of my sneakers balancing perfectly

At the edge of a compass, showing sailors where not to go but they don't listen 'cause they don't understand how a human was able to fit inside the glass clock

Well, I'm not human

Just stuck with the human emotions

I am madly in love with my madness

Oh, Alice

If you could see me now, what would you think?

Could you love how far I've come?

I broke through the mirrors and the lessons and the society and I made it further than the thoughts that echo in my mind like a cave, like a recording set to murder

So many seasons have come and go and all the different shades of me are stuck in the past and I feel like all the people are too

We cling to yesterday because it's when we were sane

It makes us sane

The present is no gift, it is a box with our hearts in it, locked away, tucked away for safekeeping though it was someone else who stole them

Our souls

Our sanity

It has driven us crazy

Craaazzzzyyyy
