outside the realms of sanity

Writing the first verses went quite smoothly. I knew what I wanted to say and simply had to squeeze the lines in my head into a meter that would make them lyrics. When thinking about "jealousy" as a viable rhyme for "... me" I suddenly knew about who I would write (I won't tell you, but it's a real person). Then the rest kind of wrote itself. I had to strain the grammar a bit, but hey, it's lyrics, it has to rhyme!

CHORUS
you live outside the realms of sanity
beyond the scope of our reality
if you need help no longer count on me
'cause you live outside the realms of sanity

VERSES
I still see your fiery eyes
while pointing that knife at me
still feel the stab into my side
that was not just jealousy

you hurled plates, you hurled abuse
then you smashed the window panes
your words and deeds were so abstruse
then I knew you'd gone insane

you live outside the realms of sanity
beyond the scope of our reality
if you need help no longer count on me
'cause you live outside the realms of sanity

you were suspicious every day
I left the house to go to work
when someone called to my dismay
each time you would go berserk

you said they were after you
and that I was on their side
you said you knew what to do
for once and all you'd put things right

you live outside the realms of sanity
beyond the scope of our reality
if you need help no longer count on me
'cause you live outside the realms of sanity

BRIDGE
Oh Baby I once loved you
but I can't bear this any longer
I'm not sure I could have helped you
if I had faith and I was stronger

you live outside the realms of sanity
beyond the scope of our reality
if you need help no longer count on me
'cause you live outside the realms of sanity
