The Big Upset


In an insane mans dreams

His problems seem to run away

but when its time to start a new day

THEY come to haunt him again

Say hello to your demons

 

Many times he'd be doing fine

Unwanted visitors would snip the line

Painting shapes in his mind

Draining him til he bout goes blind

 

Seeking help he went to many

The help was hefty and plenty

but at night it's like a shark frenzy

He'd drift in his tears and still weep

 

In a sea of tears

Drowning in those fears

In bed he'll steer into The Big Upset
