Madness

Fourth lyric

I had another nightmare last night
(Another of those nights were you couldn't stay awake)
I'm sick of all the normal dreams, I wish they were all like this
(But what is it that you look for through suffering?)

Sick enough to not stay a second more
(But we can always be whatever we try to achieve)
(I look at life and I see it's half full)
I look at it like if it was completely empty

You can try and pull the trigger
While I try to drink more blood
And it's hard to bear the burden
Of being sane again

Are we almost dead
Or are we almost alive?

(You can always try and wear a mask like me)
But I'd rather suffer than be just another one
(If you would beat some sense into yourself)
I can feel the pain in many other ways

To throw myself into the nothing
(When you can be with someone)
And feel the smell of the rain
(Under the bright sun)
Feel wrapped in the darkness
(When you can be free)
And still be able to smile once more
(There's no point in smiling when there's no one around)

You can try and pull the trigger
While I try to drink more blood
And it's hard of bear the burden
Of being sane again

Are we almost dead
Or are we almost alive?

You can try and pull the trigger
While I try to drink more blood
And it's hard of bear the burden
Of being sane again

Are we almost dead
Or are we almost alive?

If it's not about the bloodlust…
Is it hard to bear the burden…
Of being sane again?

We were never born
(You can try and pull the trigger)
We were never dead
(While I try and drink the blood)
We don't belong anywhere
(And it's hard to bear the burden)
So just think of us
(Of being sane again)
Just as if we were
(We are not almost dead) [We are]
Almost alive (Almost alive)

Because you feel like we're dead
But is this what makes me feel like I'm alive

Author's Note

A good friend of mine: I mean, if people care so much about a damn glass of water being half full or half empty, how about someone who is half dead... Or half alive...

Hell, yeah! I wonder who said that... Hahaha XD
I think this one is my favorite from this album

So very clever...people will see things how they want, and fear what they do not know.
Great write!
