Sanity


Sanity this thing you say exists Is it real or is it ignorant bliss Do you see her standing in the hall? Are you laughing at me Did the voices take control? The demon on my ceiling Is scratching at his head He says that I should scream right now And hide under the bed I tell him I wont do it Get out I say Get out Petunia the Sea Goddess says Do you really have to shout? I'm sorry I'm so sorry! I don't mean to offend Maybe it'll all solve out If i tap three times with my hand Yesterday I was so happy I was soaring on bat wings Today I'm feeling down and out Cecilia says I stink Stink she says? Ill show her stink I use my shit to write on walls Now their really coming I hear their footsteps down the halls Gerardo the security guard He likes to cop a feel He pulls me to the ground I begin to scream for real Yeah they're really coming now I sing to drown their voices Sanity seems nice right now But it ain't one of my choices
