Ease my mind
Before it snaps like a dry twig
If this madness is all there is to life
Then let me be blind and deaf
Let me course through the labyrinths of deceit
Hand out-stretched in the darkness
For that light-switch that never meets my fingers
I don’t want either sense or sensibility
Just give me a sad little smile
And I’ll binge on grief
Waiting till this life peters out
Hugging oblivion to sleep
Before it snaps like a dry twig
If this madness is all there is to life
Then let me be blind and deaf
Let me course through the labyrinths of deceit
Hand out-stretched in the darkness
For that light-switch that never meets my fingers
I don’t want either sense or sensibility
Just give me a sad little smile
And I’ll binge on grief
Waiting till this life peters out
Hugging oblivion to sleep
