Somewhere out in the middle of the sticks With the alligators, bears, the hogs, and the fish A melody rings through the deep southern sky A song that stretches to the stars on high It’s a tune that’ll never end too soon A note that reaches and strokes the moon Coming from somewhere deep in the swamp Where the squirrels, the rabbits, and raccoons romp A beautiful beast tells its tale Through a clear and high, yet quivering wail ‘Tis a sound that seems to pierce the heart— But that’s just where the story starts The blistering ballad of love and loss Fiery enough to ignite the moss Has verses gripping through & thro

As I close my eyes to sleep I drift away from Earth Here there is no counting sheep Far above the dirt This is a land completely new A place unlike the rest A quiet room where thoughts can bloom A very enlightening test You see, this place it has no walls No ceiling or a floor A stunning mansion devoid of halls A place you can explore In this world your will is unfurled Harness the power inside Until you've created a world of your own You're never truly alive.

I never anticipated your mind would blacken You were always so calm So cool and collected For this to happen to you, I'd never expected Was it the pills? Was it something much worse? I'm sorry for letting you suffer this curse. Having to watch you fade I feel it's happening to me I should've told them, should've made them see They laughed at you I knew it wasn't right They never learned until that night Why'd you do it? Was it some disease? Or did you seek death for a kind of release? I may never know your unique humanity But I'm starting to understand The horrors of insanity.
