Sanity (2009)

i hear the ambulance outside my door
and i know it’s coming for me
i look at the flowers bloom
and they set my mind free

of all the pain
of all the distress
helps me keep my sanity
amongst the madness

i watch the candlelight
and i want to crash and burn
burst into glorious flames
i guess i’ll never learn

never learn to cope
never learn to heal
like i’m losing my sanity
that’s simply how i feel
