ArtemisDeLaSoleil: Okay so this is the second chapter to Mad World. I hope you like it. I guess I should mention that when I said this story would have underage sex it’s because Goten starts off as 15 in this story.
Okay I had a reviewer that has begged me not to yank this off if someone underage reads this. And while that reviewer did have a good point about this being close to real life, the ratings for the stories on this site say that rated M is 16 and older. I’m fine with that age, but 15 or younger I WILL yank the story. I’m just going by this site’s rules. So I’m sorry for those who are the right age, but if I find that someone 15 or younger is reading I will yank it.
And while my stuff isn’t as graphic as some of the stuff I like to read, seeing as how I can’t write a lemon without laughing, if I can ever get over it I do plan on starting graphic scenes. As an aunt I would just die if I ever saw my niece or nephew reading this stuff before they are at least 16. Even then the content of what I have planned for this story is something most adults can’t even deal with.
I love all my readers, so far I have yet to have anyone ever say anything other than positive about any of my stories. And I hope it never comes to me having to pull a story.

It’s funny how they think that calling people like us faggot or queer will hurt. The only people it hurts are those who cannot accept the truth. I accepted what I was a long time ago. –Kazuo Shiro Tsukino
*************
Kazuo was lounging on his bed trying to ignore the feelings that kept smashing into him. He didn’t understand why he had empathic powers he wasn’t Venusian. Well okay so he was the nephew of Queen Ai of Venus. But still. Whatever had made this person hurt was great enough to cause them to almost completely break. Almost. There was still something there… something stubborn that refused to give up. But he knew with time even that part would die out.
All around me are familiar faces
worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
How he wished he could help that person. It was a bit selfish but the pain he was feeling because of it made it impossible to concentrate on anything. There for a while it was flashes of pain. Now it was constant. Kami he needed a vacation. They all did. Hmmm where to go…what country was nice this time of year? Ireland? He could visit Erin so she could see how Kousetsu was doing. That was a thought. Well… he might not be so welcomed…her parents hadn’t exactly liked him.
It’s not his fault he didn’t wanna marry her. She was a sweet girl. Sweet as any princess of a Sidhe clan could get. He just… wasn’t attracted to her. Not that he was attracted to anything female. But he did love her. If he had to choose a woman, any woman to be with, it would be her. But he just couldn’t see himself loving her in the way that a husband should love a wife. It’s why he left and took their son with him. After what her parents had done to try and trap him there he had never been more pissed. His reaction had scared everyone in the Sidhe court, and had made them realize that maybe adding him to their family wasn’t the best idea. Then Erin had wound up pregnant because of their trap. So he stayed until Kousetsu was a year old. He was worried though. What happened to her? Was she still alive? Or did her family kill her for her failure to capture his heart?
Shaking his head he tried to ignore the next rush of sadness that hit him so he could take a nap. He was exhausted. Coming back to Tokyo after all of these years had taken a toll on his psyche. He couldn’t meditate worth a shit. Even Rei couldn’t help him clear his mind. Finally after what seemed like an eternity he was able to clear his mind of any thoughts and drift off in to sleep. The next thing he knew he was in a familiar inky blackness that never ended. Any minute now his mother or someone else would pop up and speak to him.
“Hello?” an unfamiliar voice echoed. “Is anyone there?” The figure of a young boy slowly started to appear. No that wasn’t right he had to be at least 15. And he was…a Saiyajin! Using the darkness to his advantage he stepped back into the shadows.
“Seriously is anyone there?” he started to sound almost panicked.
“What’s wrong? Afraid of the dark Saiyajin?” Kazuo sneered.
“How do you know what I am?” Goten turned around trying to spot him.
“I can clearly see you Saiyajin. And you didn’t answer my question.”
“I have a name. It’s Son, Goten. And no I’m not afraid of the dark.”
“Good.” Kazuo laughed. He smirked at the confused look on Goten’s face. “It’s not the dark you should be afraid of.” Stepping forward into a nearby shadow, he reappeared close to Goten. “It’s what’s in it that you should be afraid of.” He whispered in the shorter boy’s ear making him jump. Before Goten could turn around he stepped into the darkness laughing.
“Show yourself!”
“Why? Having a hard time Saiyajin? And where’s your tail boy?”
“Would you stop calling me that?! And it was cut off when I was born!”
“Why would they cut your tail off? The tail makes the Saiyajin!” Kazuo mocked him.
“Because…it was a danger to our home…”
“What type of Saiyajin are you? No tail? A danger to your home? Since when have Saiyajins cared about the world around them?”
“I’m a half Saiyajin! And I live on Chikyuu and we protect its people!”
“Protect? You mean conquered.”
“No! We live in peace with the humans. We have since my father was a child.”
“Pfft. Peaceful Saiyajins. What a contradiction. Tell that to all of my people who DIED because of your people’s insatiable thirst for war! Tell that to all the planets that fell during the Saiyajin War!”
“What? I had nothing to do with that! None of us did! Well… Vegeta might have! But not the rest of us! I’ve never even heard of the Saiyajin War.”
“What type of Saiyajin are you? Never heard of your people’s conquest that nearly destroyed the whole universe?”
“I told you I’m half Saiyajin.” Goten looked around again. “And half human.”
Kazuo couldn’t believe it. Getting a closer look at him, he could tell that he wasn’t full blooded. He lacked most of the sharp angles in his face. Even his skin wasn’t the same shade of tan. And his body, though built wasn’t as massive as those that he had seen in the war. He had killed enough of them to know what they looked like. Then suddenly it hit him. All of the pain and suffering. It was him.
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very, mad world, mad world
“It’s you…”
“Huh?”
“What is it that could make you hurt so much?” Kazuo asked before he could stop himself.
“None of your damn business!” Goten growled.
“Well it is my damn business when I can feel it all the way across the damn universe! I can’t concentrate because of it!” He suddenly appeared before the demi saiyajin. He hadn’t dropped the shadows so all Goten could see was a shadow figure with sapphires for eyes.
“You…you can feel it?”
“Yes and it’s a pain in the ass! If a youma were to come out of nowhere and your pain hit me I could die!” Kazuo hissed.
“A youma?” Goten tilted his head.
“It’s a-”
“I know what a youma is. I have friends who fight them.”
“How would you? There are no youma where you are. Youma live in the inner rim not the outer rim!”
“The what? What the hell are you talking about? And I know because my friends are Sailor Scouts.”
Kazuo scoffed “Sailor Scouts would never befriend Saiyajins.”
“Shows what you know.” Goten smirked. “I’m friends with eight Sailor Scouts. Well…I don’t even know if they are alive anymore or not…they are in the middle of a war…” If it was possible the boys eyes dimed even more. Kazuo knew it was wrong. For some reason he knew that Goten’s eyes shouldn’t be that dim. It pulled at his heart.
He sighed. Damn his Lunarian heritage. Always wanting to help people. “What were their names? I can tell you how the war is going and if they are alive.”
Goten looked up and smiled a huge smile, “Really?!”
Kazuo just nodded. When Goten started listing off the names and Senshi titles he about died.
“Usagi, she’s Sailor Moon. Minako, she’s Sailor Venus. Rei, she’s Sailor Mars. Makoto, she’s Sailor Jupiter. Ami, she’s Sailor Mercury. Hotaru, she’s Sailor Saturn. Haruka, she’s Sailor Uranus. And Michiru, she’s Sailor Neptune.”
Kazuo just stared at him shocked. He could tell this wasn’t a lie. The feeling he was getting from Goten was hope. He was excited.
“Hello?”
“You forgot one…” Kazuo spoke. His voice was dry.
“What?” Goten took a step back.
“There are nine of them…Setsuna of Pluto. Plus the younger one from the future Sailor Chibi Moon.”
“I never met her…Usagi told me about her…and Setsuna…she didn’t like me…she didn’t like any of us…”
“They are alive…they won…” a million thoughts started floating around his head. The girls had made friends with Saiyajins?! But his thoughts were cut off when Goten let out a whoop.
“Really?! AWSOME!! Wait till I tell dad and Gohan! Oh and Trunks…” he trailed off here and Kazuo was hit with sadness again. Suddenly he was shaken out of his sleep.
Sitting up he could hear the girls laughing in the living room. After the impromptu meeting this morning all of the girls had moved to the living room to talk. Setsuna had left because it became obvious that she wasn’t wanted. Oh those girls had a lot to answer.
Standing up he yanked his door open and stormed to the living room. All of the girls stopped laughing and looked up at his furious face.
“Kazu-kun what’s wrong?” Hotaru asked. The shadows around him were swirling. It was a disturbing sight.
“Mind telling me HOW and WHY you made friends with Saiyajins?” he ground out.
“How?”
“It doesn’t matter how I know. But Saiyajins?! REALLY?!” The girls shrunk back from the irate Kuro Lunarian. His normally baby blue eyes had turned black. Catching himself he took a few deep breaths. “Sorry… it’s just…Saiyajins…really??”
“Kazuo…” Usagi spoke quietly. “I know it’s hard to understand… especially after what happened… but they helped us train for the fight with Chaos…they are the strongest fighters in the universe. They’ve defeated countless enemies in the name of justice.” She smiled sweetly. “Goku is such a pure soul…yet he would kill for his own family. Die for them. He has two son’s Gohan and Goten. And they are both just as kind. Gohan is smart and loves books. And Goten is just sweet. And Trunks…” here she blushed and the other girls started poking her. “Trunks is brave. He and Goten are best friends.” Kazuo narrowed his eyes. He doubted from the way Goten had reacted to when he started speaking about this Trunks that they were best friends. “And Vegeta… well Vegeta is a little rough around the edges but he’s a proud man and though he doesn’t say it I know he loves his wife Bulma. I think you would like them Kazu I think you really would. They are honorable.”
“She is right.” Artemis spoke up. “They are nothing like the Saiyajins from the war. Maybe it is life amongst humans or maybe it’s just the fact that they are the only Saiyajins left. Besides I doubt they would know anything about you. It’s been a thousand years. The only one who might would be Vegeta and I doubt Goku would let him do anything.”
“Besides…that’s what we were just talking about…we wanted to see them again… I wanna see Goten again.” Minako smiled and all the girls nodded.
“He your boyfriend?” Kazuo’s white brows rose. All the girls started laughing then.
“God no! Let’s just say that Goten isn’t interested in ANY of them. Any girl for that matter.” Haruka laughed.
“You mean he’s…”
“Yep.”
“I wonder if he told them…” Makoto asked.
Kazuo looked out the window. If he was maybe that was what the pain he felt was…and why it felt so familiar. “I think he did…”
“What? How do you know?” Rei asked.
“Ever since I was on my way back, I’ve felt this…sadness…this pain.” He continued to look outside the window. “You wondered how I knew about them? I just spoke to him in the shadow realm… I dunno how but he connected with the shadows… and he had that same pain rolling off of him…and his eyes… they were so dull… especially when he mentioned Trunks.”
“Oh no…”
Minako jumped up and grabbed Kazuo’s hand. Closing her eyes she allowed her empathic powers to link with his. She snatched his hands from his and started crying. “How could he?!”
“What? What is it?” Ami asked.
“Trunks! He…THAT JACKASS!!”
“What is it?” Usagi asked.
“Goten told them all right.” She sobbed. “Chichi freaked. Gohan and Goku accepted him. Trunks found out and confronted him, but when Goten told him to accept him or fuck off… he… he hesitated. They haven’t talked since. Goten is in such pain right now!” She just sat on the floor and sobbed.
“Well that just tells us that we need to go see him! He needs us!” Haruka jumped up and looked at Kazuo. “Of all of us here Kazu, you me and Michi know what he’s going through. He needs us. He needs the strength we can give him. He needs family. Just imagine all the pain we went through. He doesn’t deserve what happened to us to happen to him.”
“Why ask me?” he sighed. He knew he would go. Saiyajin or not… something about the fact that the kid was losing his family all because of something he couldn’t help, just pulled at him. After all he had been there.
“Because Setsuna won’t take us…” Michiru answered. “She didn’t like any of them. And as you know it will ruin the time stream if we go back. And you can get us there.”
“But we have to.” Hotaru added.
“He needs us.” Usagi whispered.
He looked out of the window and sighed. This was gunna get complicated.
“Why don’t we bring them here?” Usagi smiled. The others looked at each other then all started talking at once.
“That would be awesome!”
“YEAH!!”
“They can see what our world looks like!!”
“AWSOME!!”
Kazuo sighed for what must have been the hundredth time that day. “I’ll need one of you to go with me so they don’t kill me by mistake…”
“I’ll go!!” Minako jumped up. It was decided.
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
****************************************
He was back in the shadow realm. He was watching a memory from the Saiyajin War. It was the last battle before he returned without Hizashi. He watched as the last Saiyajin fell and their side cheered. Then it switched to his trail. He remembered how he felt as he turned and left his mother’s kingdom for the last time. There was no sadness… no anger… just… nothing. He had thought of joining Hizashi, but caught a hint of darkness approaching. So he had stayed and waited. He didn’t have long to wait. When Queen Matallia attacked he joined what was left of the Royal Guard on the front line. They had been shocked to see him there. He said nothing to them just brandished his sword at the enemy that dared to ruin his sister’s birthday.
“Was that The Fall?” He flinched as Goten’s voice came to his ears. He knew Goten couldn’t see his face. But he was visible instead of in the shadows like before. All he could see was his white hair and pale skin.
“Yes.” He choked out.
“You were there?”
“I was…”
“So you knew the girls?”
“Yes…”
"How are they doing??” Goten scuffed his shoe on the floor.
“They were gunna come see you... but they have decided that all of you need to see them.” Goten gasped.
“Really?”
“Yes… I would warn your friend…Trunks was it? They are out for blood.”
“What? Why?”
“They know…” Goten gasped again. “And they are not happy with how he reacted.”
“How…”
“I am an empath Goten…as I said I could feel your pain across the universe…”
“But how do they know?”
“Because I told them… well all I told them was that something happened. I didn’t know what it was. It was Minako that found out. As you know she is an empath as well…she was able to see what happened though my touch.” He kept his gaze ahead not looking at the younger boy.
“You’re with them?”
“Yes. I am bringing Minako with me so your friends won’t attack me… I assume it will be daylight on your planet…you told your family about them being alive?” Goten just nodded. Kazuo and smiled. “I wanted to apologize for how I acted before…I lose myself to my past sometimes… and after fighting the Saiyajins like I did…” he shook his head. “Of all people I should know that people are not what they seem…”
Goten laughed and put his hand behind his head. “It’s alright. It’s not the first time we’ve been attacked because we were Saiyajins. And I’m sure it won’t be the last!”
Kazuo shook his head. “Will you be staying with them?” It was an innocent question, but one that could be read in so many ways. And it threw Kazuo off. Goten actually sounded like he wanted see him. The feeling he was getting from him…it was nervous… and he was fidgeting. Oh how he wished he could read minds!
“I might.” He had to admit that the kid was cute. He shook his head. No he can’t think like that. “I just might.”
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very, mad world, mad world
Enlarge your world, mad world

ArtemisDeLaSoleil: Okay I was told that it would be best if I ended it right here. And I think so too. I think by now you should have a good idea of where I’m going with this story. If you don’t then read the chapter again -_-.
Kazuo: Seriously when is the juicy stuff comin?!
Goten: YEAH!
ArtemisDeLaSoleil: If anyone ever says they wanna help me ‘-_-
Kazuo: Please help her she’s sad and pathetic and can’t write lemons… and if you don’t we won’t get laid!
Goten: I don’t wanna die a virgin ya know!
ArtemisDeLaSoleil: HEY!!!
Kazuo & Goten march off the stage: WE WANT LEMONS! WE WANT LEMONS!
ArtemisDeLaSoleil: No respect… I introduced them and they treat me like this…Please for the sake of my sanity and me keeping them alive and not throwing shit at them…HELP ME!!
Okay I had a reviewer that has begged me not to yank this off if someone underage reads this. And while that reviewer did have a good point about this being close to real life, the ratings for the stories on this site say that rated M is 16 and older. I’m fine with that age, but 15 or younger I WILL yank the story. I’m just going by this site’s rules. So I’m sorry for those who are the right age, but if I find that someone 15 or younger is reading I will yank it.
And while my stuff isn’t as graphic as some of the stuff I like to read, seeing as how I can’t write a lemon without laughing, if I can ever get over it I do plan on starting graphic scenes. As an aunt I would just die if I ever saw my niece or nephew reading this stuff before they are at least 16. Even then the content of what I have planned for this story is something most adults can’t even deal with.
I love all my readers, so far I have yet to have anyone ever say anything other than positive about any of my stories. And I hope it never comes to me having to pull a story.

“Usagi, she’s Sailor Moon. Minako, she’s Sailor Venus. Rei, she’s Sailor Mars. Makoto, she’s Sailor Jupiter. Ami, she’s Sailor Mercury. Hotaru, she’s Sailor Saturn. Haruka, she’s Sailor Uranus. And Michiru, she’s Sailor Neptune.”
Kazuo just stared at him shocked. He could tell this wasn’t a lie. The feeling he was getting from Goten was hope. He was excited.

“You forgot one…” Kazuo spoke. His voice was dry.
“What?” Goten took a step back.
“There are nine of them…Setsuna of Pluto. Plus the younger one from the future Sailor Chibi Moon.”
“I never met her…Usagi told me about her…and Setsuna…she didn’t like me…she didn’t like any of us…”
“They are alive…they won…” a million thoughts started floating around his head. The girls had made friends with Saiyajins?! But his thoughts were cut off when Goten let out a whoop.

“Mind telling me HOW and WHY you made friends with Saiyajins?” he ground out.
“How?”
“It doesn’t matter how I know. But Saiyajins?! REALLY?!” The girls shrunk back from the irate Kuro Lunarian. His normally baby blue eyes had turned black. Catching himself he took a few deep breaths. “Sorry… it’s just…Saiyajins…really??”
“Kazuo…” Usagi spoke quietly. “I know it’s hard to understand… especially after what happened… but they helped us train for the fight with Chaos…they are the strongest fighters in the universe. They’ve defeated countless enemies in the name of justice.” She smiled sweetly. “Goku is such a pure soul…yet he would kill for his own family. Die for them. He has two son’s Gohan and Goten. And they are both just as kind. Gohan is smart and loves books. And Goten is just sweet. And Trunks…” here she blushed and the other girls started poking her. “Trunks is brave. He and Goten are best friends.” Kazuo narrowed his eyes. He doubted from the way Goten had reacted to when he started speaking about this Trunks that they were best friends. “And Vegeta… well Vegeta is a little rough around the edges but he’s a proud man and though he doesn’t say it I know he loves his wife Bulma. I think you would like them Kazu I think you really would. They are honorable.”
“She is right.” Artemis spoke up. “They are nothing like the Saiyajins from the war. Maybe it is life amongst humans or maybe it’s just the fact that they are the only Saiyajins left. Besides I doubt they would know anything about you. It’s been a thousand years. The only one who might would be Vegeta and I doubt Goku would let him do anything.”
“Besides…that’s what we were just talking about…we wanted to see them again… I wanna see Goten again.” Minako smiled and all the girls nodded.
“He your boyfriend?” Kazuo’s white brows rose. All the girls started laughing then.
“God no! Let’s just say that Goten isn’t interested in ANY of them. Any girl for that matter.” Haruka laughed.
“You mean he’s…”
“Yep.”
“I wonder if he told them…” Makoto asked.
Kazuo looked out the window. If he was maybe that was what the pain he felt was…and why it felt so familiar. “I think he did…”
“What? How do you know?” Rei asked.
“Ever since I was on my way back, I’ve felt this…sadness…this pain.” He continued to look outside the window. “You wondered how I knew about them? I just spoke to him in the shadow realm… I dunno how but he connected with the shadows… and he had that same pain rolling off of him…and his eyes… they were so dull… especially when he mentioned Trunks.”
“Oh no…”
Minako jumped up and grabbed Kazuo’s hand. Closing her eyes she allowed her empathic powers to link with his. She snatched his hands from his and started crying. “How could he?!”
“What? What is it?” Ami asked.
“Trunks! He…THAT JACKASS!!”
“What is it?” Usagi asked.
“Goten told them all right.” She sobbed. “Chichi freaked. Gohan and Goku accepted him. Trunks found out and confronted him, but when Goten told him to accept him or fuck off… he… he hesitated. They haven’t talked since. Goten is in such pain right now!” She just sat on the floor and sobbed.
“Well that just tells us that we need to go see him! He needs us!” Haruka jumped up and looked at Kazuo. “Of all of us here Kazu, you me and Michi know what he’s going through. He needs us. He needs the strength we can give him. He needs family. Just imagine all the pain we went through. He doesn’t deserve what happened to us to happen to him.”
“Why ask me?” he sighed. He knew he would go. Saiyajin or not… something about the fact that the kid was losing his family all because of something he couldn’t help, just pulled at him. After all he had been there.
“Because Setsuna won’t take us…” Michiru answered. “She didn’t like any of them. And as you know it will ruin the time stream if we go back. And you can get us there.”
“But we have to.” Hotaru added.
“He needs us.” Usagi whispered.
He looked out of the window and sighed. This was gunna get complicated.
“Why don’t we bring them here?” Usagi smiled. The others looked at each other then all started talking at once.
“That would be awesome!”
“YEAH!!”
“They can see what our world looks like!!”
“AWSOME!!”
Kazuo sighed for what must have been the hundredth time that day. “I’ll need one of you to go with me so they don’t kill me by mistake…”
“I’ll go!!” Minako jumped up. It was decided.
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
****************************************
He was back in the shadow realm. He was watching a memory from the Saiyajin War. It was the last battle before he returned without Hizashi. He watched as the last Saiyajin fell and their side cheered. Then it switched to his trail. He remembered how he felt as he turned and left his mother’s kingdom for the last time. There was no sadness… no anger… just… nothing. He had thought of joining Hizashi, but caught a hint of darkness approaching. So he had stayed and waited. He didn’t have long to wait. When Queen Matallia attacked he joined what was left of the Royal Guard on the front line. They had been shocked to see him there. He said nothing to them just brandished his sword at the enemy that dared to ruin his sister’s birthday.
“Was that The Fall?” He flinched as Goten’s voice came to his ears. He knew Goten couldn’t see his face. But he was visible instead of in the shadows like before. All he could see was his white hair and pale skin.
“Yes.” He choked out.
“You were there?”
“I was…”
“So you knew the girls?”
“Yes…”
"How are they doing??” Goten scuffed his shoe on the floor.
“They were gunna come see you... but they have decided that all of you need to see them.” Goten gasped.
“Really?”
“Yes… I would warn your friend…Trunks was it? They are out for blood.”
“What? Why?”
“They know…” Goten gasped again. “And they are not happy with how he reacted.”
“How…”
“I am an empath Goten…as I said I could feel your pain across the universe…”
“But how do they know?”
“Because I told them… well all I told them was that something happened. I didn’t know what it was. It was Minako that found out. As you know she is an empath as well…she was able to see what happened though my touch.” He kept his gaze ahead not looking at the younger boy.
“You’re with them?”
“Yes. I am bringing Minako with me so your friends won’t attack me… I assume it will be daylight on your planet…you told your family about them being alive?” Goten just nodded. Kazuo and smiled. “I wanted to apologize for how I acted before…I lose myself to my past sometimes… and after fighting the Saiyajins like I did…” he shook his head. “Of all people I should know that people are not what they seem…”
Goten laughed and put his hand behind his head. “It’s alright. It’s not the first time we’ve been attacked because we were Saiyajins. And I’m sure it won’t be the last!”
Kazuo shook his head. “Will you be staying with them?” It was an innocent question, but one that could be read in so many ways. And it threw Kazuo off. Goten actually sounded like he wanted see him. The feeling he was getting from him…it was nervous… and he was fidgeting. Oh how he wished he could read minds!
“I might.” He had to admit that the kid was cute. He shook his head. No he can’t think like that. “I just might.”
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very, mad world, mad world
Enlarge your world, mad world
