insanity

there’s a villain inside of you

he leads you on then speaks of truth

his heart is made of fool’s gold

his talk is new, intentions old

fiction pleas are captivating

whispers sweet, you are elating

sees you low, he takes advantage

vulnerable, he does his damage

conscience please, where is your help

turn me into somebody else

untangle me from his restraint

let go so I can runaway

to be great is to be misunderstood

insanity will do you good

crazily, the voices call

telling you to drop it all

body, mind, soul, and pride

leave it all far behind

the best is yet to come, they say

but you can make the best today

rid yourself of false allure

bless your heart with what is pure

break the expected orthodox

instead, just do what you want

you are your own worst enemy

you won’t go far until you see

there’s a villain inside of you

he leads you on then speaks of truth

trying

she tries to paint a picture of her future in the sky

but the tears rolling down her cheekbones give light to her disguise

so princess won’t you tell me what’s on your troubled mind

she composes her face, lies and fakes a smile

hesitates to make him cry, but she’s survived a thousand nights alike

she thinks twice to call him cold, though she knows, he’s lost without a soul

she slowly opens her mouth, trying to bravely think out loud

but she doesn’t know how to go about, voicing her fears and doubts
