Can you see the madness behind my eyes 

as I smile ear to ear?

You simply cannot see the lies

Or my introverted fears.

I need not say what I feel inside

 my thoughts twined around my brain

I'm trapped behind the bars that bind the contents of my pain

You look at me and see a girl whos ravishing in joy 

when pushing against my borders is uneasiness and ploys 

to plot against the things that always seem to make life misery 

Everyone wants a piece of me

Until theres nothing left of me 

And I'll be a waste of time but please

Forget not what I do, you see

We may not be alike in needs 

But all beings want the chance to be free

And with all these limbs pulling at me

There's madness behind my eyes

Re-wiiiiind

to the moment I came to know

you can't live off of another's glow

You have to create something of your own

A forest of conjured thoughts laying low

Like a fog leaving dew drops of sorrow

Filling the river of another "tomorrow"

With colorful leaves that sink and float 

I tell others climb up on my boat of continuing hope

And I will keep you all afloat

And I will keep you all afloat

Because to get to my destiny

I help others get out of the sea 

And maybe that makes me a better me

Or maybe it destroys where I aspire to be

Maybe it destroys my reality

When Im the one to help others to grasp 

the optimism  in their past

With all my emotions held back and masked

I wonder how much longer I will last

Before I can't control it and cast

Out the madness behind my eyes.
