Ascending Into Madness

[Verse 1]
I’ve come down here one last time a few times
A few times after that, well that was just for old time’s sake
And I know I’ve come down here a few times
For no good reason at all
But this time I swear I’m just down here by mistake

[Verse 2]
I'll quit drinking for the reason I started drinking
When it makes me feel better than I already do
From rags to riches to rags
To richly embellished accounts of the truth

[Chorus]
Ascending into madness
Rest in chaos my old friend
May you ascend

[Verse 3]
I sang you my song and then another not knowing
If I gave you a choice you'd make it
It will hit you just like dying some say
Or even worse if you’re able to take it

[Chorus]
You’re ascending into madness
Rest in chaos my old friend
May you ascend
Into madness

[Verse 4]
The dead had been around this block a few times more than you had
A few times more than we all had well before it was even paved
And they say upon the Sea of Hypnocracy
That the shore is just another wave

[Chorus[
Ascending into madness
Rest in chaos my old friend
May you ascend
Into madness
Rest in chaos my old friend
