Mark Heard Schizophrenia
The tears still fall
The birds still sing
And life is bittersweet
With a schizophrenic ring
The sun still shines
The darkness still falls
We must see both
If we see them at all
Schizophrenia
Beauty and the beast
Man from dust to dust
The best among the worst
Schizophrenia
Gazing on the stars
Walking in the dust
Schizophrenia
So much to love
So much to hate
So much to represent
With chalk and slate
We see the expression
Of the original face
And the mask that hides it
We're a schizophrenic race
Schizophrenia
Beauty and the beast
Man from dust to dust
The best among the worst
Schizophrenia
Gazing on the stars
Walking in the dust
Schizophrenia
The one-eyed man
Still has one good eye
Blind man must have something
He can be thankful for
The sweetest child
Still carries scars
From the ancient collapse
In the falling of stars
Schizophrenia
Beauty and the beast
Man from dust to dust
The best among the worst
Schizophrenia
Gazing on the cloud
Walking in the dust
Schizophrenia
