Sometimes it feels like the world is coming down on you... ... And the only thing that you can do about it is to shrink... ... And Shrink... ... And Shrink... ... Until there is absolutely nothing left.

I used to think that the world was limitless... Now I feel as though limits are all that hold me down...

Why is it so hard to destroy beautiful things? They aren't innocent. Not always. They can be cruel. Like a poisonous flower, Or a rushing river. They are beautiful and we admire them from afar, But getting too close is dangerous. It could end you. But why not end it first? Pull the flower like its a **** Stop the river's flow like it's a gutter. But we can't. And why not? Because it's beautiful, And there are so few beautiful things left in the world. So we fight for them, And we protect them, Even if they are deadly, Because they are all we have left. And if there was no beauty, No horrible, deadly, beauty, What would we live for?

Strike a match and you will get a flame A flame always leads to fire Where there is fire someone is likely to get burned So be careful who you hit It may take a few tries but a match always lights And it always starts a fire Now you don't see matches in the Burn Unit So be careful who you strike Because if you strike a match You will go up in flames

You're insane You're crazy You've lost it You're mad That's what they tell you That's what they say But maybe it's them Maybe they're crazy Maybe we all are And maybe it scares us So we lock up those who make it obvious Or maybe they're the sane ones Maybe we all just refuse to hear the voices Or see the people Maybe it's driving us all insane If you really think about it If you really do Who's really more insane? The poor mental boy Or the sick excuse for a doctor The one who claims to cure him The one who 'heals' him with electricity With eels to his head Or who boils him in a tub "Hydrotherapy" he says "It helps" he says Laying it out makes it obvious Laying it out makes it clear You'd be insane to believe that those could work Insane! But that was then This is now Now we use drugs Now we use words Or do we? There is still pain There is still torture in therapy And the patient in the ward has no say They are locked Stuck eternally Hearing the same thing over and over again You're insane You're crazy You've lost it You're mad
