Bluegreen water forms a perfect pool

Soft and serene she watches here

Madness lingers, it obeys no rule

She wrote her sadness, laid it bare

Clear, sharp edged, honest and true

Bluegreen water forms a perfect pool

Locked in rooms yet somehow free

Stubs of pencil scratch paper plain

Madness lingers, it obeys no rule

Wildness rolls from her velvet tongue

While hands clench tight against the pain

Bluegreen water forms a perfect pool

Many knew her name, spoke her songs

Tried to ease that constant scream

Madness lingers, it obeys no rule

Then she left, she had no choice

Carried off on hell’s own voice

Bluegreen water forms a perfect pool

Madness lingers, it obeys no rule
