Unhinged

A day in my life

Comfortably chaotic 

Imperfectly perfect in my skin

Masterpieces made by misery 

Just how my life has been.

Addicted to the drama  

My old drug of choice

The passion 

The spark

The fire it ignites.

Taunting all my demons 

and laughing thru my sobs

Erratic and volatile

Screaming back at God.

Smiling thru my teardrops 

Twirling in the rain 

Wash away 

Wash away

Cleanse me of my pain.

Shouting back at the thunder

Daring lighting to strike 

Maybe I am crazy

Maybe they are right...

Maybe just tonight...

Maybe they are right 

Maybe every night.
