a song of madness

c. 1998 mojine

crosseyed ... with a feather crown
strung tight to the silent sound
of tripwires on the holy ground of
his own fevered brain
voices only he has heard singing a song with just one word ... madness like an uncaged bird that is lost in the rain

fallout from a disordered mind... ravings of a prophet's design... lost worlds that were left behind so that no one else sees
on the inside where there's nothing wrong... right there where it's been all along. dreaming the words as he sings the song that can heal the disease...

Madness of the heart and soul... Consensus takes it's toll...
why apologize? Try to harmonize a song of madness

cast out cause you won't play ball... no soap cause you see they're all insane; just a judgement call so you go your own way
inside where the secrets keep shining like the tears you weep... knowing that the whole world
sleeps and it's no use to pray

time bomb with a loaded gun
hard wired you're the chosen
one... burning like the noonday sun in a paperback sky
sit down with a brand new friend
big town wonder where you've been... right round where the good times end but you're feeling so high

Madness of the heart and soul... Consensus takes it's toll...
why apologize?
Try to harmonize
a song of madness

I said PINK BOYZ, well they're all the same... wrapped up in the nowhere game... past time...
this is where you came to believe the big lie

Lookout now you're gone again... mind blank but you reel it in... kite string hangin' in the wind but there's nowhere to fly...

Madness of the heart and soul... Consensus takes it's toll...
   why apologize?
           Try to harmonize
                  a song of madness
