Sweet Delirium

Delirium, oh sweet chaotic delirium
You've come into my life
You've spun it around
I can't tell if this is love or madness
My grip is paper thin

And I am the one that I can't trust
I can see the lines beyond love and lust
I make a photograph from memory
I can quantify the butterfly wing caused storm
Everything is ok, but there's something wrong, there's something wrong

Oh sweet delirium
My mind wrestles with me heart
Over which can have the hand of decision and passion
I find a comfort in such a reaction
The pull of reason and attraction
Sometimes they seem to be the same
Swirling in my delirious brain

I can't speak, but I'm a great communicator
You can read my nervous and anticipating eyes
My soul can even be seen by the blind
It has caused reactions beyond my comprehension
Pulling me closer to push me away
I can't seem to find a midpoint around this perimeter
Have I left myself outside in the fog

Pure and perfect, chaotic delirium
You've come to me to leave me
I can't quantify your rationality
I can't stand to look at your beautiful insanity
But I find myself walking towards that eventual crash
So comfort me dear, sweet delirium
Soon you'll be the only thing I could be sure I know
