Mad Hatter’s Opus By: Noah Eaton 4/24/01 I feel saddened I can’t help but be anxious of what lies ahead I feel empty Waiting to be turned over and filled again I feel like one of the loneliest people in the world And I never want to be I’m a sparrow trying to sing a song, but it comes out so hoarse Trying to fly away, but falling to the cold ground all so wearily I feel saddened How I ever long to hold such a pretty smile I feel isolated I feel like I’ve lost the route to the miracle mile I feel like no one wants me But still I keep my dreams tucked away in my pockets Sometimes it seems I feel nothing And deep inside it makes me feel so helpless If you saw me crying, would you come and sit next to me? If you noticed that I was lost, would you give me direction? I think I am hurt inside, I could use a cheer right about now I feel like a vagabond on the boulevard, searching for joy at the intersection I’ve got to have someone It is all so clear to you now You figured me all out I’m a lonely and sad boy Bleeding for a sunny day Searching in disarray The mad hatter has tricked me Deceiving me with his foolish trickery I feel saddened I cry realizing how my years of youth have passed me by I feel lowly This friar’s lantern of happiness has fooled me every time I try How I never smiled once as a young boy Makes me weep knowing that that person is me And how I will never get to go back and laugh even once So many memories that swim away from me like the fish in the sea I’m trying my best to stand up straight, but I studder in this cold atmosphere And I know that I must make all these next days merry, but I need something more I can’t do this alone, I am hurt inside, and I need someone to heal me With an understanding for me, I pray gravely everyday for this joy to come in store I’ve got to have someone It is all so clear to you now You figured me all out I’m a lonely and sad boy Bleeding for a sunny day Searching in disarray The mad hatter has tricked me Deceiving me with his foolish trickery It’s so hard for me to fall asleep sometimes Here in my gloomy bed I would cry It’s so aggravating how I feel I’ve found something, and it all fades away Trying every day to find some comfort in being alone, but I can’t There are times when I feel so happy So why do I feel so sad Why am I so sad? I’ve got to have someone It is all so clear to you now You figured me all out I’m a lonely and sad boy Bleeding for a sunny day Searching in disarray The mad hatter has tricked me Deceiving me with his foolish trickery I feel saddened, I long for this miracle day Oh sun, please rise and wash my tears away |

Wow...this tugs at the heartstrings, Noah. I found the refrain particularly effective--suggestive of depressive thought pattern as well as the continuous cycle of sameness that sometimes translates into hopelessness. Well done, Noah!  |
