Mad Mad Mad Mad World

mad mad mad mad
mad mad mad mad mad
mad mad mad
mad world
madness confirmed
amplified
glorified
civilized.

Reality is really realistically realer.

rotten to the core
evil you
evil me
evil we
evil eye
evil deeds
and an electric circus of masques and games
to play.

Just another quantum conception
To push around?
How drole.
Mary Margaret and Alice in tow
Tell me what to do....
Where to go
Even tho it’s not happening
as you say in an effective
media play.

I have eyes
and six senses at work
i see i see
i know i know
(you) make me move to the edge
push me over the edge
slowly slowly
slowly now
show me how to leap!

i watched the horsemen
and the night sky hurled
this a dirty thing
to be born
so small
and weak
and think
what i think
feel this way
say what i feel

do what i do
when i do it
why i do it
want to do it
here to want it
want to hear it.

remember, my mind was
wasted before i was born
and it’s just plain fun
to snip away bit by bit
interesting to watch
my skin pulled and knitted
in this willful way at your hand
carved and slowly
oh slowly, go slowly,
slowly ever slowly watching
every warm trickle
opened woven meshed
intricate adherence
to this life living groaning
compound.

and look...over there...
that’s my soul
flopping noisily
on the floor.
roll it back will you,
when you have a moment?
I’ll just have to make due with room for less
or more?
more or less

glad you liked it
glad i loved it
glad we refined it
glad you divined it
this knotted reflection...
I’m still listening...yes.

Mirror mirror on the wall
show me who knows all
Will i be good enough in your morning?
And how much effort would that be exactly...
for you to help me jump
this edgy ledge?

Licking the cheek
kicking the meek
puffing a joint
to graze the peak

False falseness falsely leads the falsely lead.

shit happens
shit happens
i know i know
am i mumbling?
do i mumble?
can you hear me?
I’m still listening...yes.

if you can really save me
pass the blade back
through that brick wall
and give me back my
edge from which to fall
so i can really repent and then,
then and only then,
then i can begin to
believe what you say.
