Into the Madness

                            


Into the Madness

I am on a Journey
And I seemed to have lost my way
The fog it thickens
My mind wanders
Is it night or could it be
Day?
The path is worn 
But the wilderness is overgrown
Like lace across my face
The cobweb sticks
Ophelia, Ophelia
I laugh and the abyss responds
My gentle Love takes my hand 
I dance spinning round and round
The dandelions begin to flutter
Stars twinkle their eyes
Alice, Alice
Darkness envelops me
I relish in it's escape
I am crazed, Ha crazed
Find me an answer, Find me the one
The girl is tortured let's have some fun
Bellatrix, Bellatrix
I allow myself to be taken up into the Madness
For the moment the character is more enjoyable than the pain
I get them, I understand their story
Behind the craze there is a face
Behind the face there is a heart
At the heart is where it all will start
I love the Madness I find it beautiful, eloquent almost
I love the beauty
In the mirror I see
In them I find a little part of me
I am Ophelia heartbroken, I am Alice imaginative, I am Bellatrix misguided. I am me, I am them, where does it start? Right where it will end.

Musical Monday: The Civil Wars

Today introduces my first Musical Monday. Every Monday that I remember to post I will share a band that I enjoy listening to. Some bands may be widely known, while others you may have never heard of. Either way I hope you enjoy. Also feel free to post new bands for me to check out in the comments below. I love music, and finding new bands.
My first Musical Monday spotlight is going to be The Civil Wars. I first listened to The Civil Wars in 2011, the sang back up for Taylor Swifts song Safe and Sound featured on the Hunger Games soundtrack. The Civil Wars began playing together in 2009 they reached a career high in 2012 when they were nominated and won two Grammy's. I instantly purchased their album after listening to them perform Poison and Wine.
Not only did I like their sound, but I also appreciate their lyrics. I think they are beautifully written, and really speak the truth. It also is a major plus that the male lead vocalist totally looks like he could be Johnny Depp's brother. They also do a couple songs in french that are beautiful. I love their voices, I find them soothing and extremely beautiful. I hope to hear more and more from The Civil Wars!
