My cell phone croaked
A bellow of hello
It was you on the line
Singing of flinging
Yourself to the stars

I listened all I could
Said hi and bye
I hung up the line
Missing your kissing
When you were my heart

I resolved to find a solution
Become smart with my heart
To stop tripping into love
Beat the heat
As it were

That was the day it began
The mark, the start
When the world got all twisted
Went from sadness to madness
I heard it calling...

It leapt from the grave
It's teeth a sharp wreath
Of blood and yellow
Gnashing and smashing
My fragile sanity

Sharp and sinister claws
Ripped weak and meek
From my heart
Put crooked solutions, delusions
In their stead

I woke the next morning
Felt bold, yet cold
I dialed you up
Whispered fear in your ear
Because it told me to

Picked up the knife
Felt the weight, the wait
Tried to tell the imp
I'm done with your fun
He just grinned

My cellphone croaked
No, it's me you see
I'm in a special place
Fateful day kept at bay
By the triumph of...

Reason, season
Faith's debate
A moment of clarity
To quell the insanity
