Methods of Madness


There is a method to my madness

I know you can't see it

but yet here I am, insisting.

 

Looking for the right answer

isn't worth the spirals,

often the evidence is contradicting.

 

You're worried I'm not here

to care for your beloved human being.

If you know where truth lives

you won't search for other paths to freedom,

believe me.

 

The path to me is not linear

because creating a perfect life

isn't satisfying as poking the bear,

let's stop pretending!

 

I have given you all the opportunities

to live in harmony

You've looked everywhere, but inside.

So why are you still begging?

 

It's the madness I'm feeling,

It's the madness for which I am living.

There is a method to my madness

and it the madness I will keep on insisting.
