Skipping on the sidewalk
Minds are open; they talk
Mad houses burning down
In the twilight heading dark
My heart is skipping some beats
Watching them spin and
they speak
‘Sad spouses run and drown
In the depths of their feet’
All I see is up close
Never too far to pose
The questions raging resonance
Because
All I see are stories
Embodied in my dreams
The answers begging to be heard
Bring the cloud of knots to me
I will unravel them and see
What mischief can I weave
From this pile of agony
While I drink my cup of leaves
They shrink to tiny mysteries
But unfurled within the shining
pearls of madness seen
All I see was withered
Never too harsh, too blurred
By the time, running like
it never tires
All that I deem worthy
Were once heeding banality
By the ones tasting nothing of
this insanity
[PRE-CHORUS]
Cry, for me!
Die, for the memory!
Shine, for the dreams!
Find, the gleam!
Brace the corners of your mind
Scour them till the end of time
Tales lining up to be told
In the hours of gold
And grace the memoirs of the weak
Beholding words of yours, so bleak
Days counted by the parading
sinners bowing to their feet
What can and what could go wrong?
They sing and humming along
To the miseries, and apologies
you've led them into
What's the worst of last fate
That He was bound to create?
To the soul heeding ghouls
For a chip of clarity
[PRE-CHORUS]
Breathe, for me!
Feel the agony!
What has been will now be a dream!
What was seen will now be a --
Crawling on the sidewalk
Minds are bursting; they talk
Mad houses dying down
In the daylight heading dark
My heart be beating wildly
Watching them spin and we speak
Mad spouses burning down
Burning down, burning down
Burning down
Mad houses.
