Ids and shadow selves Wandering around Forgotten like leftovers Of unwanted takeaway Neglected and repressed Fed by our collective values And abusive behaviours A selfless act of a conscious psyche In a disruptive reality Used as an antidote for the painful truth Failing to fail Just to stay hurt Missing the obvious But dreaming of the unknown Like great artists we admire The self-orchestrated theft of our lives Fallen short of an ideal that doesn’t exist Not even in our thoughts We wander around Cultivating dullness and immorality Covering our tracks with false beauty and self-esteem Leaving our souls behind Hiding the madness Once called LOVE

Madness
Ids and shadow selves Wandering around Forgotten like leftovers Of unwanted takeaway Neglected and repressed Fed by our collective values And abusive behaviours A selfless act of a conscious psyche In a disruptive reality Used as an antidote for the painful truth Failing to fail Just to stay hurt Missing the obvious But dreaming of the unknown Like great artists we admire The self-orchestrated theft of our lives Fallen short of an ideal that doesn’t exist Not even in our thoughts We wander around Cultivating dullness and immorality Covering our tracks with false beauty and self-esteem Leaving our souls behind Hiding the madness Once called LOVE
