Mad Men

Take quiet seconds alone to ponder and to breathe

Yet this silence has become nothing more then my enemy

I’ve become the target

Always unable to win, always under the pointiest pin

Always the dimmest of lights, always the darkest of nights

I’ve lost

But in the end, I’ll have the only laugh

Cheers to a defense mechanism perfected

And to a mind frame demented

Yet aren’t we all born insane?

Lost and afraid, unable to communicate

Only able to scream like a madman lost

I’ve lost

Don’t we all grow from experience which is suppose to give us that sanity

Now more knowing yet more afraid, unable to communicate

Only able to scream like a madman lost

I’ve lost

Have I missed the boat?

You all got shipped off with some sort of sanity

To enjoy large campuses of pure vanity

While I’m left chasing whatever sanity may be here

In this town that proves to be trapped with only fear

And he and I can bet, that he and I have never met

Yet from his absence, I hold one thing those sailors will never

The beauty of change

Because to accept change

You must create it yourself

You must master it

You must tame it

You must simply change

Consistently constructive but constantly carefu
