this
this grinning madness
sits before me
and eggs me into complacency
this grinning madness
waits
patient and impatient
all at once
It angers me
with it’s laughter
with it’s sullen glares
and sudden movements
this grinning madness
waits to take me in it’s arms
into the arms of madness
all around me i hear noises
people pushing me closer
forcing me towards that goal
that grinning golem
forgotten idol, left for dead
this grinning madness
laughs
and
laughs
and
laughs
as i stumble
and fall into it’s
open arms
forever lost
in this grinning madness
