Maniac

Maniac, don't say it ain't nothin'

When i can see it in your eyes.

Of course, ceremonial weakness

Lending them hard drugs.

But don't ask me if i understand

What is good for me tonight

Can't you see it's harmless,

A little light justice?

Some say, "so long. how could you?"

Some say, "come, sit here by the fire."

I will just wave goodbye to ordinary

People's awkward situations.

Officer, you can take me,

But leave my daughter alone.

We could sit around forever, mama,

And find there are no stars in the sky.

We could page through

All our haunted diary thoughts.

I miss the way you stare at me

As if i were a memory.

Villain. statue of marble.

And i don't want to touch your dark

Thoughts anymore; let me leave them alone.

Now and then safe and sound

And send the clowns

To document with words and photos.

A brain on fire and slashed summer tires.

We all need somewhere to go.

There's some way out of this silent film

I've been living in,

But my mind got stuck and

I froze upon the burning coals

In another man's ritual.

We could sit around forever, mama,

And find there are no stars in the sky.

We could page through

All our haunted diary thoughts.

I miss the way you stare at me

As if i were a memory.
