Sanity, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Lyrics

In a prison of anguish I reside

Mocked by ignorance, no end in sight

Your gall eclipsed the Sun, turned love aside

Turned deafened ears to my desperate cries!

Sanity, oh sanity, so overrated

In Truth's cold light, love's flame abated!

I'm lost in dissonance, alienated

Your silence, the echo of love negated!

Sanity, oh, sanity, but a ruse

A masquerade for those with nought to lose!

In your firm oppression, I found my muse

In silence, in sorrow, my words infused!

From seeds of childhood woes, a lifetime grew

Yet, you ignored the suffering you knew!

Blind to my stress, to agony you threw

Victim of this grave illness, born anew!

You criticise my frowning gaze

My autism, a maze of endless days!

Do my words from speakers not raise

The truth of my suffering and malaise?

Sanity, oh sanity, so overrated

In Truth's cold light, love's flame abated!

I'm lost in dissonance, alienated

Your silence, the echo of love negated!

Oh sanity, a fanciful notion

Drowned in your sea of blind devotion!

A spectacle of suffering, a potent potion

In your ignorance, my pain found motion!

Blurred lines, cognitive dissonance

Believed your lies of convenience!

Sole reason you spoke was evidence

How's it feel? To me, you're tenuous

Soon crushed by my bold confidence!

Sanity, why hast thou forsaken me?

Where in Dark has your "love" taken me?

Sanity, oh, sanity, but a ruse

A masquerade for those with nought to lose!

In your firm oppression, I found my muse

In silence, in sorrow, my words infuse!

A spectrum of Shadows, unseen, unheard

I've found my Voice, every painful word!

A beacon for those your prejudice spurred

In Truth's bitter taste, strength is conferred!

Sanity, oh sanity, a fanciful notion

Drowned in your sea of blind devotion!

A spectacle of suffering, a potent potion

In your ignorance, my pain found motion!

Sanity, oh, sanity, oh, but a ruse

Oh, in your firm oppression, I found my muse!
