SOCIETY and ~~INSANITY~~

They fear my own existence.
They lock me up in shame.
They hide me as if I'm not here.
Everything's on me to blame.

Ignore that wretched creature.
Pretend they don't exist.
They're nothing but imagination
As solid as the mist.

Can't you hear my pleading cries?
I am here in front of you!
I exist and you can hear me.
There is nothing you can do!

We will always lock you up,
In the cold and in the dark,
Where no one can hear you screaming.
Fear and weakness are your marks.

No! I beg of you!
I am human, too.
I am breathing and I love.
I forgive and I can rue.

It is too late, you filthy monster.
The curse is upon thee.
Everybody will believe us
For we are your SOCIETY.

Then I am weak and powerless
against you, SOCIETY.
People will forever fear me
For I am INSANITY.
