Madness can be comfortable,
Like a sleeping bag
On a snowy day.
Just shut it out
Focus on warmth.
Sadness can be tolerable,
When everybody leaves you
And you can finally get some sleep.
Just shut it out
Focus on warmth.
Betrayal can be manageable,
If you betray yourself too,
It’s no different.
Just shut it out
Focus on warmth.
Then that all changed
I got locked up.
Psychiatry Ward.
More like circus
For people who
Just couldn’t handle any more.
Insisting on the existence
Of Neverland or something like it
And always being denied.
Every levee breaks
And every tower shakes,
Just ask the princess.
She’s in room 11B
Says her name is “Lady Hopscotch”
Her tower dropped her to the ground.
So when I got locked up,
Seeing walls of white like snow
I tore my bed apart
And crawled inside my mattress.
Just shut it out,
Focus on warmth.
