The brain is a very big place And the skull is a very small space The thoughts overflow into the night Tainting the darkness with a morbid light I don’t mean to ruin your blackness To corrupt you sanity with my madness I tried to stop, such a beautiful thing to save But it rushes out with a vengeance, an all-consuming wave

The brain
you must mind your madness, people would **** for a chaos like yours guard it with a gladness with the knowledge your brain could win wars

Madness
Hello, I seem to have lost my mind If you happen to find it would you please be kind For it is a delicate thing with low self esteem It lives in a world of its own, a self inflicted dream Society was mean to it, it’s gone into hiding I hope it’s happy, where ever it’s residing

Missing: a mind
The city looks so pretty Do you want to burn it down? Imagine all the colours we could paint this petty town

imagine the colours
I know that feelings end and feelings change But how could you love me yesterday and not today How could you make me happy then make me hurt Give me roses then give me dirt Call me pretty then not reply Make me smile then make me cry

Then
There is a pain so intense no one can bare it not the strongest or the bravest this is the pain of being in love the perfect agony the painful ecstasy it is not the affliction of love love does not burn so much the love for friend of family does not reduce people to their knees this is the agony of ‘in love’ the first glimpse the first touch before you see they are also human...

In love
I feel like I’m in a dark room Without light or a sense of direction I used to be scared by the infinite gloom But now I know you’re somewhere in it

You
how deep are the oceans how vast is the sky in these endless escapes is there somewhere to hide somewhere to go and never be found somewhere to scream yet not make a sound...

solitude
We, humans, are senseless and unthinking We set off nuclear bombs for amusement So fond of debauchery and drinking We **** each other for entertainment We attempt to build buildings to the sky Brick over brick, we don’t stop to ask why Slowly we replace the trees with carbon We are caught up in the devil’s bargain Timidly we roll our dice, fingers crossed; Although the odds are not in our favour We claim to be bright, but our minds are lost We sit and wait, hoping for a saviour We have strapped ourselves to an iron rod Pretending, playing at being a god

The Direction of Humanity
Mankind think of themselves like deity, Yet they are unable to touch the stars; They foul the world, searching for aureity And when earth dies they search for life on Mars We ignore the collateral damage; We ignore the all-consuming wildfires That burn the world, leaving it in famine; Man acts high and mighty on their pyres We train our children to stand in straight rows, Murdering all their creativity; We tell them life’s purpose is buying clothes Cynically we prompt naivety Here, above, with no more conspiracies, These are the faults of the perfect species.
