Chaos

Words swell up inside me
chaos in my brain
how to numb the senses
how to kill the pain

crazy sanities
the truest lies I’ve ever heard
meant to stop the screaming
word for word

Go ahead I dare you
jump or fail or step
if life were a gamble
you wouldn’t take the bet

falter where sure-footed
smile when you cry
feel the zest of life
wish you’d die

Ask every question without an answer
but wait just the same
destiny’s a bit**
and fates queen of the game

I hear the mocking laughter
my ears just won’t block out
the silence screams at me to release the pressure
but I choke before I can get it out
