INSANITY’S COUNT
One, two, three, four
The beast is knocking at my door
Five, six, seven, eight
Sorry, it's already too late
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Its a beast no one can shelve
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
It will take me where I can't be seen
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
Where insanity grows aplenty
One, two, three, four
Why bother counting anymore
Five, six, seven, eight
When nothing ever comes out straight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Into the abyss it will make me delve
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
From it, I will never be clean
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
For its owned me far too long already
But maybe if I keep on counting
I can delay the inevitable from fully mounting
Somehow ignore the rising waters
All these massacres & slaughters
Only... I cannot think as I once did
I cannot see through this sealed eyelid
I cannot breathe this putrid air
&... I don't think I even care
Wait...
Does this mean...
No.
No, no it can't.
But I really think it does.
It seems the beast has already won
& now I'm starting back at one.
One, two, three, four
The beast is knocking at my door
Five, six, seven, eight
Sorry, it's already too late
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
It's a beast no one can shelve
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
It will take me where I can't be seen
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
Where insanity grows aplenty....
One, two, three, four...
