Madness

How can things turn out this bad?
How can I first have been so glad,
and now feel like Im going mad?

The rain speaks to me, reads me fairy tales
I know that I should flee, because I'm the one who fails

I cut my self on the lingering dead
like on a blank paper
Drops of what once was red and not hard to contain
Is now nothing but widespread and insane

Once my sanity was like snow on a mountain top,
A secluded place so pristine nobody had ever left a mark
Now people running around in my sanctuary nonstop
All the snow disappear, and what was once white now is dark

I was once happy,
cheerful and joyful,
I felt gladness

Now I see myself being corrupted by this madness

This is good. You write with a gentle, soft but intelligent touch. Are you by chance influenced by any songwriters such as Burt Bacharach ?
