Riddled with Paranoia

By Scarrzz



I saw a disc, up in the air,

A Silver disc that was not there.

 

It wasn't there again today,

Oh, how I wish it would go away.

 

I wear this hat of aluminum foil

So no one steals my thoughts, you see

 

And stare in mirrors at my eyes

for scanners looking back at me

 

When people point and people stare

I wonder what's behind me there

 

They don't know, for they can't see

the people looking back at me

 

With blue-gray skin and giant eyes

behind a shimmering cloaking device

 

They've come to get me and take me away

Inside my mind I hear them say

 

“We're here to help you,

Please come this way.”

 

Thorazine is a wonderful drug

I've coached myself to tell them so.

 

I calmly sleep away my days

and never silly questions raise

 

But then one night I see the star

Twinkle codes of what to do...

 

I've seen the guard when he's asleep,

and know just where he puts his keys.

 

I'll borrow a coat of purest white

and disappear into the night,

 

Sparkling in a beam of light.
