Written for a friend gone crazy
There is no one and nothing that can save you now.
Gone crazy, gone mad, my little nutcase in a chestnut shell.
Keep your shelter it’ll keep you safe within, within our burning hell.

You created it, so beautiful, the fire was purifying,
Like dragons flame, the heat and the darkness was such a lovely game.
Passions, passionate I rise like rage, coldness so forsaken.

There is no one and nothing that can save you now.
Gone crazy, gone mad, my little nutcase in a chestnut shell.
Keep your shelter it’ll keep you safe within, within our burning hell

Wings rise and fall bring flames to smoke and smoldering ember.
Put out like a light that was my last hope and desperation
You ripped my heart from my chest and Neptune’s seas turned over.

There is no one and nothing that can save you now.
Gone crazy, gone mad, my little nutcase in a chestnut shell.
Keep your shelter it’ll keep you safe within, within our burning hell.

Heart or not, wing, smoke, and flame, you may be
me, I am love, hope, and desire.
No, more rage, Nor I, coldness. I turn to you.

I’m gone, gone crazy, gone mad, no one can save me now
I live in a nutcase, I’m a chestnut shell.
I’ll keep my shelter, It’ll keep us safe within, within our burning hell.
