Head Case

(альбом: Lifers - 2018)

I know it's hard to find the words so often standing face-to-face
Sometimes it takes a thin white sheet to put things into place
Things that I could never say come flooding out somehow upon these lines

I'm still fighting the same battles I've been fighting all these years
A dreamer's not a dreamer unless you're living with a fear
What they say will be forgotten, all that's done will be for naught and why?

And it's been a long time, Lord, since I sat down and had a cry
It's sometimes overwhelming and I can't tell you why
But I remember Jackson singing "Doctor, doctor, please, my eyes"

My heroes, they're all dying or they're sitting in a cell
Due to years of medicating, minds that hurt so well
There's a thin line, don't you see, between genius and insanity, which am I?

One thing that scares the hell in me is living with mortality
And worrying that I'm insane talking to a God unseen
Must surely make me crazy, so crazy's what I'll be 'til I'm gone
'Til I'm gone

And I'll scream out to the sun and to the moon and to the stars
I'll scream until my voice finds you, no matter where you are
I'll scream until I've got no breath and all that's left to take is death and I'm done
And I'm done
