Cheshire Cat

By Reichsfuhrer-SS

Madness
Hidden behind a smile
Disappear
Reappear
Grinning wide
Always the same grin
Insanity
Eyes wide
First vanishes the tail
Then the paws
And the back
Ears, head, face
Eyes widen to nothing
Then the grin
Last to disappear
First to reappear
Insane maddening grin
No happiness
Only madness
But it's so fun
To be mad
Madness enjoys madness
Bring the others to madness
Crazy
Watch them
They can't see
Vanishing
See the smile?
Always the smile
They see the smile
And the madness

    You intolerable fool. It's a character from Alice in Wonderland. Sheesh, it's incredible how badly pop culture has copied and replaced real and original art. Fucking absurd.

  • A former member wrote: Very good point. And I'm glad I didn't know that fun fact about the album title. I hate that kind of music.

  • A former member wrote: poop. phanta must die
