Mad or Sane
I know why madmen scream at the sky
 And that their tears bleach the ground
 As they fall, shrieking from the inside
 I know why madmen scream at the sky
 
 I know why they scrape food from the ground
 Only vultures eating corpses and cadavers 
 All the while thinking they have just won
 Nothing seems wrong in their deluded minds
 
 I live in a strange town, hopefully just passing through
 Seeing strange men go and live by lust
 Greed, fear, murder, they cause so much
 Destruction, turmoil, and evil surrender
 
 I know why madmen have a blank stare
 Always replaying those events in their minds
 Wishing they were never there
 Never released from the captivating depression
 
 They never realize that they are dead
 Those mad men, yes in a very real sense they are
 Although they will proclaim that they are alive
 They are dead, yes dead
 
 I know why madmen seek homes
 Because they never had one
 But in reality there are two homes
 The good and the bad one
 
 I know why sane men are disgusted
 With the madmen's rants and raves
 With little sense those madmen discuss 
 The current passing trends
 
 I know why sane men vomit 
 Just from looking at the food they consume
 And when they see their faces enjoy it
 It's no wonder the sane men swoon
 
 They swoon in a sense that they don't lose consciousness
 But it's not in a sense of ecstasy, no far from it
 They swoon in the sense that they just can't stand it
 They turn away from the very sight whenever they can
 
 I am still trying to figure out
 Whether I am a madman or sane man
 To find my identity
 Hoping that I am a sane man
