The Study of Madness

I believe that if I read about it all
 I can solve the mystery keeping me here
 All there is to know concealed behind these walls
 No common ground with those who keep me near
 Hearing echoes of the past
 I know I'm not the only seeking soul
 If their stories all ring true
 The lessons hidden there will guide me through
 Scan the pages, leave no stone unturned
 Find the secrets of your mind
 Under dimming lights your words reveal
 Similarities with you and I
 Will this page help me escape
 This chamber getting colder by the night?
 And as the years turn into life
 The path to leave is almost out of sight
 Am I so mad to think this way?
 That they relate to me?
 Am I so wrong to think and say
 Their knowledge is the key?
 You may think about my words
 You may find the truth will hurt
 But to bring about this change you call
 Break your final fall
 Finding reason to improve ourselves
 Tripping over each mistake
 Your solution has so much to tell
 Show me all the tactics I can take
 As the madness grows inside
 I know the information has no end
 With an option I must now decide
 To ignore the knowledge on which I depend
 Am I so mad to think this way?
 That they knew how to see?
 Am I so wrong to think and say
 It's not insanity?
 You may think about my words
 You may find the truth will hurt
 But to bring about this change you call
 Break your final fall
 With this logic weathering
 I can hear their whispering
 You may think about my words
 You may find the truth will hurt
 But to bring about this change you call
 Break your final fall
