Scribblings of a madman

Who can't see in the dark

No no, he's just a man

Trapped inside and hysterical

There's just pain

He's not insane

It's all the pain

Isn't everyone a little insane?

Crazed looks befoul a beautious mind

Cracked and broken like his smile

Margins for error were slim to none

Yet here he is trapped inside and hysterical

Walls of Jericho, set me free

I am but a man, shallow and wasted

There is a shadow in here with me

It craves me now that it has tasted

Silhouette

I'm not confident, but I know who I am

Who it is, that's another story

A children's tale, spun from the head

Alas it is no fable to behold

It's just a crack in my foundation

I like to call it a guide

It shows me through that door

It says I'm too feeble now, but soon...

The floors are soaking wet

Blood stains the carpet

My time hasn't come yet

I don't want to become a silhouette

Silhouette

I'm fucking over it!

I feel the walls splintering my mind

They wriggle and writhe my spirit

Just kidding that wasn't me

(Who am I?)

Gone gone gone

Heh, I am a ghost of nothing

I've been betrayed

This cabin is my home

The cabinets hold happiness

Just keep slamming my head against them

You see, my friend?

It's all gone gone gone!

Here I am, come take me

Get me out of here

I'm a danger to no one

Can't you see?

I'm just lost and alone

I'm just...

Lost and alone

Silhouette
