Jack Torrance Jan 2020
I wake up every morning,
and I just ignore the sounds,
of the absent ******* echos,
of a mind that’s gone to ground.
The motions are insanity,
that repeat and verberate,
beating voices through my head,
like ragged nails across a slate.
It used to drive me crazy,
now it’s simply just routine,
watching ghosts around me,
as they move through my daily scene.
There you’re making coffee,
and a laugh just filled the hall,
there you’re singing softly,
hanging pictures on the wall.
Then my mind shifts left,
into what I think is true,
but maybe I should lose myself,
and try to interact with you.
I know that’d make me crazy,
but let’s face it I am there.
I’m ignoring what I see,
but perhaps that isn’t fair.
Reality’s a concept,
and I don’t care if it’s not real.
I’d rather love the ghost of you,
than live a life that I can’t feel.
So tomorrow when I see you,
maybe you’ll smile for me,
and we can finally be happy,
at the cost of my sanity.

We're All Mad Here:
When you say you're going insane
My eyes widen in surprise
How have you held off from being caught
in the cycle of insanity for so long
when the rest of us
are already so tangled up in it?!

The title is a reference to Alice in Wonderland.

You are everything I've ever wanted
And
Everything I've ever needed
In human form
My heart runs fast at the sound of the syllables in your name

I’m a fool
My craziness is spilling
A page catching the words
Forever falling
Out of my head
Overjoy or overreact
Lean because I lack

I've been, losing my mind
Its good some nights, not this time
I've been, trying to find
The sense in **** subdued my mind

So deep, shallow insight
Morals gone, pendulum swings by
I'll breathe, iced outside
Shadowed thoughts oh I'm colour blind
Oh sea

The once wise guy he can't comply it's fear
Self-deceptive, tinnitus in his ear
Disappear

I've been I've been I've been asking WHO AM I?
I've been I've been I've been asking, WHO, AM I?

Saline sea, don't quench our thirst
One man's cure is an others curse
Why me, vast universe
The sane forsaken the strength immersed

Align the rails that shake
Misunderstood defines insane
Sky reach, far as ****, mate
State of mind, oh mines a state

Find me, the great escape
Ascend from cave, illuminate
Dividing, what's fear what's fake
I fear whats here's not helping
Its my restraint

The once wise guy he can't comply, it's fear
Self-deceptive, tinnitus in his ear
Disappear

I'll smile as I walk by, agree with lies lose the tick of time
I'll smile as I walk by, agree with lies.

You’re in my head
Taking up space
What you said
Floating around
The world drowned out
The only sound
You and I
And what I said
r Dec 2019
Happiness, in the pursuit of love
You do the maths, I'll do the laughing.

Think you know?
-think you've cracked the secret code?
You do the maths, I'll do the laughing.

When you look into someone's eye
and see yourself, don't be fooled
You are set to fail.

But when I look at someone and don't see my reflection in their soul,
I run rings around the code,
They think they have me

Grabbing all directions for a memory
How could these heart-wrenching desperate uncontrollable indescribable thoughts
Be something that is wanted?

How the ****
DO I let you run these rings around MY code?
It's not fair and I won't allow it


Happiness, in the pursuit of love
You do the maths, I'll do the laughing.
