Manic

Camel

One day I'm up next day I'm down,

I run from duck to dawn.

The paranoia seizes me

The nightmares carry on.



I'm looking on the bright side

You're looking on the wrong side

You really don't know which side

A devious dream in my mind.



But there is no way out and yes

The die is casting thin

Between the line and razor edge

They crystalise the end.



I'm looking on the dark side

You're looking on the outside

You'll never know what's inside

A face to erase what you find



I know what I'm doing

I'm feeling so fine now

Sorry I worried you.

Thumbs up truly,

I'm okay I though today

I haven't had a drink for, say,

An age, and yes I'm feeling fit

A day in which I'm never sick

With both ends on the candle lit.



There is no way out and

I can never be my friend.

The enemy I fear is me,

So where does it all end...
