It’s called the Caress of Lunacy
And I don’t think it’s done yet but maybe someone has pointers in improving it?
She searched for freedom in prescription pills
Her home was packed and she’d paid the bills
Yet she was unable to find her peace
Just couldn’t break her own life’s lease
Woke up surrounded by family in fright
Forgive me, she said, for ruining your night
Never meant to harm you, my dears
Only stop this endless flow of tears
This spiral of madness won’t end with you
When you’re cut our hearts bleed too
The caress of lunacy is ever on our minds
Set to a tune that Lucifer designs
May you find your cloud nine
Linger forever in sunshine
Then I’ll offer you every daisy
For I love your crazy
And I love your sane
So please remain
and brave your pain
He tried to find freedom too
Took line after line
Wished he could have a redo
Woke up just ‘fine’
No one even knew
What he was going through
He went to work like nothing even happened,
One day he’ll break free, of that you can depend.
Forget the veil and beyond
Let’s dance with life, my diamond
We might not be like fashionable Peace
And War won’t miss a step, his fires don’t cease
I know there’ll be blood and tears as we fight our greatest fear
But in your mind is the key to a treasure very rare
The freedom you seek, always close by
You can find it inbetween your eyes
I tried to find freedom with a blade
Fell asleep with a smile on my face
The villain I’m now portrayed
No more than a selfish disgrace
To the doc a whispered plea
Forgive me for wasting your time
I just wanted to be free
Escape from my own mind
This spiral of madness will end with me,
For these cuts won’t set anyone free
The caress of lunacy is forever in my thoughts,
Its touch, so bittersweet that even my brain rots
Now that my cards are on the floor and all things are said
I find that there’s warmth at the end of this thread
It’s where I climb
On a string that’s solely mine
I hope I won’t falter
Sure hope it won’t break
My past, I can’t alter
my future, I won’t forsake
