Madness

whispering madness truth or lie
fear-slick fingers cast the die
beautiful mayhem shiver and cry
trapped in the belly of the beast am I

sorrow slithering scrapes the skin
lunatic, lunatic let me in
blood for thoughts, penny for sin
lunatic, lunatic where have you been?

wandering empty soul to steal
grasping straws for they might heal
welling crimson aches to feel
proof that I might not be real

screaming silence softly seethe
lunatic, lunatic let me breathe
tear it limb from limb and feed
lunatic, lunatic won't you leave?

This is very powerful. It makes me feel uneasy and almost clostrophobic.
