Crimson red madness
Sometimes, if not always, it seems my mouth contains the mechanism of a music box Contains is the wrong word My entire head is kept prisoner to that evil thing And, no, no music poured down of him No, words, rivers of words Like a flood, like an ocean... I screech from the teeth night and day One more sound to my ordeal No corks around to put a stop to the insanity Suddenly it seemed alright To pretend I am a bird to pick in my perfect white teeth a twig To start building a nest for my madness acceptance The silence spreads itself like a crimson red lipstick all over the mirrors
