Madness, Sweet Insanity

Distant people always say that dreams come true

Happy people, far away, words not spoken near to you

Ghost in books, on paper, speak of smiles ready-made

Spirits, voices in the sky reveal such joy that never fades

Sometimes it seems the voices are a little too distant

Quiet like a whisper, bold screams of chaos, such resistance

Those voices just cannot be real, just fleeting spirits, only phantoms

It's all too real, consuming flames of which we're bound, that which commands us

Those sirens, loud and screeching

Them whispers, faint, short-reaching

Too quiet to be teaching

What it is we gotta know

We gotta know, we gotta show

What we are inside

The scabs and scars we hide

The fear and pain divides

It's just too hard to fight

Just let what kills reside

Keep it all inside, balled-up inside

We gotta take it all and let it out

Let it out, oh, let it out

Can't let the flames expand

Open up wide, let it flow free

Set it abound, you hear me?

Are you listening? Do you hear me?

Keep just a little trapped inside

Enough to make you feel alive

For it's chaos on which we thrive

That which burns us gives us drive

Such burning pain for which we strive

Keep just a little trapped inside

Wonderful madness, sweet insanity

Madness, sweet insanity

Chaotic madness, don't you see?

Are you still listening to me?

Insanity will set you free

So deep inside, fed unto thee

Beauty is sweet insanity

Madness is the air I breathe

Are you still listening to me?

Can't you feel it?  Don't you see?

Madness, chaos, sweet insanity

The fire that speaks unto me

Burning mad insanity

Madness, burning insanity

Chaotic mad calamity

Mad insane chaos, don't you see?

Insane, Insane, Insanity
