Crazy and Derange
Ax.Barajas 1980 (Illinois)
Crazy and deranged has the world gone insane. News on TV got you feeling unsafe.
Wrong information shown by the media.
Negative images is the main criteria
Lights go out, knock at the door.
Don't know who is at the door.
Walk quietly to not make a sound.
Looking through the peep hole.
A strangers stare starring back at you.
Through this blurred glass coke bottle
hole.
Crazy and deranged, feeling your heart
jump at your throat. Ground shaking,
waves arising has the whole world gone
insane.
Got you crawling on your hands and knees.
Just to feel the ground beneath your feet, just to be stable. Crazy and deranged the only power that remains is greed and destruction.
Put fear in the minds that watch.
Not knowing what is real.
Still looking through the coke bottle peep hole.
Not sure to open the door. Clock ticking on the wall. Colors melt away off the wall.
Fear that you might fall. The only thing to do is close your eyes and hope that this is just a dream.
The knocking doesn't stop. No one can hear you scream got you gripping that pillow tight.
All you can do is take a deep breath and fight.
Crazy and deranged gripping that door knob
tight. You take a deep breath open the door as you do. Hear a voice behind your head
You wake up to static on the TV.
Newscaster starring back at you with a small grin.
