“Crazy in the Head”

You can only see the actors’ make up

When they’re up close

You can only see that they’re fake

When you’re up close

You can only figure out it’s a story

Once you’ve thought too much

You can only figure out it’s a lie

When you think too much

You can only think you’re alone

When you’re thinking at all

You can only think it’s not worth it

When you’re thinking at all

Off there goes my stupid brain

Driving its own self insane

With the boring and mundane

Of the greatest wonders of the world

Off there goes my stupid mind

Using whatever reasons it can find

Doing me so very unkind

By telling me what I want to hear

Everything we want to fear

Is just what we want to hold dear

Ricocheting in the head

Flashing in the eyes before you’re dead

Just the way you thought it was……..
