A knife of pain drives through my heart,
Banishing all my thoughts and fears,
I can't connect with your state of mind,
Yet I feel your insanity draw near.

My life is spinning out of control,
A roaring deafens my ears,
But that won't stop the onslaught of thought,
Nor the streaming of my tears.

So I am now cutting myself away,
From this cutting web of mirrors,
Now it won't reflect my failures,
Or your mocking jeers.
