after the accident
stark raving is my tattered mind
that makes no sense on the inside
torn to pieces ripped to threads
the thoughts inside my tattered head
foreboding judgement lies in wait
tattered mind is filled with hate
filled with love and angst and sorrow
my tattered mind waits for tomorrow
in this room my minds just sits
it sits and sits thats all it gets
my mind is tattered my mind is torn
out of the rift another is born
out of the rift the person you see
there in the darkness for the third time is me
me and my self and my mind that is broke
in a white room a white bed a white coat
another white coat thats different from mine
comes in with a needle and changes my mind
everythings clearer everythings sharp
all i can hear is the sound of my heart
thudding and thumping but not torn apart
the rift closes slowly as i rise to the top
i try to yell out to tell them to stop
im drowning again in the darkness and hate
i wanna yell out its not really too late
the walls have ears the floors have eyes
stark raving is my tattered mind
