|
He seemed no different from the rest |
|
Just a healthy normal boy |
|
His mama always did her best |
|
And he was daddy's pride and joy |
|
He learned to walk and talk on time |
|
But never cared much to be held |
|
and steadily he would decline |
|
Into his solitary shell |
|
As a boy he was considered somewhat odd |
|
Kept to himself most of the time |
|
He would daydream in and out of his own world |
|
but in every other way he was fine |
|
He's a Monday morning lunatic |
|
Disturbed from time to time |
|
Lost within himself |
|
In his solitary shell |
|
A temporary catatonic |
|
Madman on occasion |
|
When will he break out |
|
Of his solitary shell |
|
He struggled to get through his day |
|
He was helplessly behind |
|
He poured himself onto the page |
|
Writing for hours at a time |
|
As a man he was a danger to himself |
|
Fearful and sad most of the time |
|
He was drifting in and out of sanity |
|
But in every other way he was fine |
|
He's a Monday morning lunatic |
|
Disturbed from time to time |
|
Lost within himself |
|
In his solitary shell |
|
A momentary maniac |
|
With casual delusions |
|
When will he be let out |
|
Of his solitary shell |
