The Overture Of a Madman

A battle for sanity, I close to the edge
  The valley seems far below.
A darkness awaits me, a feeling of dread
  Over the edge I go!

Psychosis abounds this ill-fortuned shore
  Pools of phantasm aglow.
Oh wind battered streets pain me no more
  Over the edge I go!

Such pressures are bestowed this sad man
  Sands of ictus explode.
Thoughts become tainted, behold the madman
  Over the edge I go!

Forsaken this desert, the winds of my mind
  A curtain closes the show.
Straight-jackets and needles, no time to unwind
  Over
         the 
              edge 
                     I 
                       go!

And should I never turn back, good-bye.
