Unsane

I couldn’t cut it as a sane man
I’ll never make it as a mad man
All I can do
Is keep hearts breaking

Never want to be reminded
Of the feelings
That are bottled up
Inside me

Well I ran into a blind man
Said he didn’t have
The time to show me
How to see around me
When all the lights do
Is blind me

Once I was
Now I’m unwritten
Via everything I’m reading
The only lie
The one I’m living

Take me home
My padded cell
A place to nest
My place to dwell
Where all my fears
Know me so well

I need you to know
I’m someone who cares for you
Though I’ll never know
What it is lovers do
I want you
But what I am
Is what I am

You’re well aware
That I’m not quite the man
The legions expect me to be
Just bathe me in your shallow waters
So I can get in deep

Then what I am
Will be the me
Others can see
