Madness
I sit in this vacant house
My chest feels darkly in debt
I signed a loan I made my pledge
Now my heart reeks rank with regret
I feel like a pawn in this game
No fixed rate on my stenchful side
Only the dirt at my plot to my name
Hells gates have been opened wide
I have lost all hope and trust
As my mind sinks into blackness
And as this vile house turns to rust
The world spins into madness.
