Insaniam

I'm constantly under the knife's blade these days

Shaking silently under death's subtle gaze

All through the blackest and bleakest night's haze

Until the sky is painted with the morning rays

'

But on a pillowless bed my weary head it lays

A kink in my neck, but it's not worth it to raise

My piano a dissonant song it plays

The pain is worth more than the blood it pays

'

Mark my words, this is a symptomless craze

But more than eyes and ears it will faze

The numbers of seconds and hours and days

Will come back to bite you in numerous ways
