Madness be my mistress My lovely siren song Satyr in the forest Chasing naughty nymphs Demon in the darkness And monster in my closet Madness be my lover Manic movements Caffeinated frenzies Typing fast and misspelling much Strange allusions to those who are touched Voices in my eardrums Vision in my breath Madness be the scent Of sweaty insane men Bashing brains Against their times Killing quantum equations That plague their minds She was my first lover She will be my last And from sanityβs flask I will not sip one sup of it Madness be my lover Painter of the stars Be you jester, genius Or merely who you are Madness be my cause to create Cause no other cause is left
