Ascending Into Madness

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

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

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

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

You're ascending into madness
Rest in chaos my old friend
May you ascend
Into madness

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
