The Study Of Madness

I believe that if I read about it all
I can solve the mystery keeping me here
All there is to know concealed behind these walls
No common ground with those who keep me near

Hearing echoes of the past
I know I'm not the only seeking soul
If their stories all ring true
The lessons hidden there will guide me through

Scan the pages, leave no stone unturned
Find the secrets of your mind
Under dimming lights your words reveal
Similarities with you and I

Will this page help me escape
This chamber getting colder by the night?
And as the years turn into life
The path to leave is almost out of sight

Am I so mad to think this way?
That they relate to me?
Am I so wrong to think and say
Their knowledge is the key?

You may think about my words
You may find the truth will hurt
But to bring about this change you call
Break your final fall

Finding reason to improve ourselves
Tripping over each mistake
Your solution has so much to tell
Show me all the tactics I can take

As the madness grows inside
I know the information has no end
With an option I must now decide
To ignore the knowledge on which I depend

Am I so mad to think this way?
That they knew how to see?
Am I so wrong to think and say
It's not insanity?

You may think about my words
You may find the truth will hurt
But to bring about this change you call
Break your final fall

With this logic weathering
I can hear their whispering

You may think about my words
You may find the truth will hurt
But to bring about this change you call
Break your final fall
