Running on mad
It’s not the best fuel
Simple interactions
Turn into a duel
Everyone *****
They’re annoying and lazy
They’ll drive me quite nuts
If I’m not already crazy
Running on mad
I know that’s not good
It’s hard to slow down
Even when I should
It’s tough to feel empathy,
Impossible to forgive,
Forget about another shot,
Let’s just live and let live
Running on zen
Or trying to find it
Taking slow breaths
Until I get behind it
Counting to ten
Or even much higher
Until the mad disappears
and I'm no ball of fire
