If I go crazy, was I ever really sane?

As I open up my ear

Thunder and lightning is all I can hear

All I see is the cascade of time

And all I know is that you’ll never be mine

All my strength and vitality

Destroyed by this soul-crushing reality

You stole from me all my hope and luck

And by now I can’t even give a f**k

Doubt and depression slowly kill me

Love, why won’t you ever let me be?

If I go crazy, was I ever really sane?

If I go crazy, was I ever really sane?

Lost in a maze of infinite paralysis

What I have left defeated by this analysis

Life is cruel and it ain’t fair

Any soul I have left, left burning in the air

It’s not as if I care

If I go crazy, was I ever really sane?

If I go crazy, was I ever really sane?

A world slowly falling into your hands

Kills me like a million metal bands

Slowly falling down, I don’t know what to do

A heart broken… needing the strongest glue

Tell me where to go, for I’ll follow

Tell me what to do, for my heart is hollow

Lost in an endless daze

Im tired of this cryptic maze

If I go crazy, was I ever really sane?

If I go crazy, was I ever really sane?

Love the poem. It makes you wonder whether any of us is really sane at all, and where it is you draw the line. Love the darker side...really deep.

You ask a very good question. Sanity isn't what is boosted to be. Better to dance on the edge of insanity. I like the story. Life can twist us up. A outstanding poem.
