Gone Mad

Suddenly, I awake

If I ever filled my vocabulary 

with anything other than nonsense 

I wouldn’t know 

I’ve told the tale of lost souls

That transcended time

A couple times, yes 

It was a time warp 

of unfortunate events 

That made the hatter mad

Was the rabbit hole ever that deep? 

I wouldn’t know such fortunate events 

As days turn to nights 

the white turns to red 

It was all just a fright

it was all in my head

My head…

She took my head…

painted those roses red

what a silly thing to do 

Am I dead?

Was it…all in my head? 

Red…it’s all red 

Not white, not green, not blue

Just…red 

it’s all in my head 

Time is up 

Farewell I tell my friends

Hands surround me from each side 

they lay me gently to bed 

Mad…I’ve gone MAD 

They told me as I lay in my gown 

“You won’t feel a thing” I heard

And suddenly I’m fast asleep
