Shutting the door with a sigh
Running from insanity
A close call, as claws clatter and click

Fanged jaws snap, and fling snotty saliva
Unhinged hounds of lunacy
A ravenous pack, carried on my shoulder

Feverishly followed by fatuous feelings
Never far from crazy
Chauffeured to moments of instant madness

Arriving batty, and demented
Before yesterday's screams
And broken promise of tomorrow

Sailing off in silence, to psychotic sunsets
I'll sleep comfortable standing up
Against padded walls of protection
