In Sanity

It's time to talk deep.

Like the knife in my chest.

Of the never-ending nightmares

that won't let me sleep.

You see heaven in me.

I see a broken paradise.

The shattered remains

pierce through my gaze.

The ice continues to hold me back.

Cold, harsh stares.

The moment I touch the ivory keys

I feel my heart freeze.

Forced to sit and watch

as you go through the motions

perfectly.

It's not fair.

How your prayers are always answered

and mine are left in the dust.

What am I doing

that is so wrong

that I can't even do wrong things 

Right?

Am I just in too deep

like my thoughts?

Or the knife in my chest,

that can only be removed

by true love's gentle hands?

That's my prayer tonight.

Stop the never-ending nightmares

and let me sleep

Insanity.
