Faking Insanity

Another random thought that came to me one day while I was feeling kind of overwhelmed by how much I've changed.

I feel like a fake

And these walls

Are breathing again

Take in the sound

Before the tears fall

I put all my strength

Into fighting this thing

That's devouring me

And find the fire

Burning out

 

Chorus

So tear it all down

Fell these four walls

Tear it all down

Before I fall too

Tear it all down

Nothing left at all

Destroy even the ashes

It's all I can do

 

A dark flame

Is rising

That only I can see

I must admit

That I feel like a phony

If only, If only

They could see it too

My mother inside of me

Screaming to be free

This gift and this curse of Insanity

 

Chorus

 

Run from the feelings

Run from the fear

From prison to prison

My cell always here

This cage this confinement

Binding me to nothing

To everything

Break these chains

(*4, 1st 2 whispered)

 

Chorus

Author's Note

This was just a thought that came to me, but could anybody else tell me if they've ever felt like this? And of course, what do you think of the piece? Please, your honesty is valued above all else!!!!

Thanks sis:) I'm glad you liked it, though, you've read it before, when I first wrote it:)

[DemitriJ]

but ive never actually heard you sing it yet

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Because I still have to work on the sound for this one:)

[Rekain]

if I can ever get the program I might be able to give this some beat to go to, but than again I must first acquire the technology.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

I still have to find a tune for it Rekain. It's still a work in process, but thank you:)
