What people don't understand about insanity
Is that we don't want this either
Have you ever watched a person lose their mind?
Have you ever seen someone
As their reality is eaten alive in front of them?
Chaos forcing the air out of their lungs
It's not like how it is on TV
There is no moment of ecstasy
No colorful visions of God
It's not that kind of drug trip
Insanity isn't just chaos on the outside
It's chaos on the inside too
You can feel yourself letting go of reality
It's similar to falling off a cliff
There is no joy in insanity
But there is fear
Because insanity is the hell your mind creates for you
And once you've lost your grip on reality
Only death can save you from the demons in your head
