Anthem of Insanity

475 47 13
                                    

Anthemic beats fill our hearts and lungs
Make us go thump thump thump
And get sucked up a whirlpool
of seemingly endless ecstasy.

Whispers in our ears
Tell us that they're near
But we soon forget although there's
Nothing to fear.

We lose our minds so easily
We ought to listen more closely
Before the beats engulf us deeper
In a sea of misery in our future.

It's not written in our bones
Yet it's engraved in our hearts
For only pain can alter it's desire
For all our reveries and cuts.
