caps

Why do the madcaps
get all the notoriety?
It doesn't feel fair
to our myriad millenery
Maybe you're a gladcap
Ever ready with a smile
Happy to give a hand
Uncomplaining all the while
Maybe you're a badcap
Dangerous and charming
Does anyone else here
find charming folk alarming?
Maybe you're a radcap
Never doing what you're told
Unpredictable, unrestrictable
Reckless and bold
Maybe you're a sadcap
Have you been "diagnosed"?
Though i find happy people
more unsettling than most
Maybe you're a fadcap
Following along
Let's get tattooed or pierced
while we sing a top 40 song
Maybe you're a hadcap
living in poverty
More and more each day
in this sea of inhumynity
Of course, if you're a madcap
there's no shame in that
In fact, in this nutty world
being mad is where it's at

insanity

I've looked into insanity's eyes
Insanity wants to fuck!
Insanity is a collapsing prison
with rioting inmates amok

Insanity destroys what it loves
and loves what it destroys
Insanity cannibalizes itself
We are insanity's toys

Illusive and elusive
I can't be any clearer
Insanity is why i'm afraid
to look into the mirror
