Madness (Bonus Track)

"Madness"

I've been most unwilling
to see this turmoil of mine
The thought of sitting with this
has me paralyzed

With this prolonged exposure
to mirror and averted eyes
I've feigned that I've been waiting:
such mileage for empathizing

And now I see the maddness in me
is brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on, when you're not in the room
And though I'd love to blame you for all,
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you

Oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh thank you for your most generous triggers

It's been all too easy
to cross my arms and roll my eyes
The thought of dropping all arms
leaves me terrified

And now I see the maddness in me
is brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on, when you're not in the room
And though I'd love to blame you for all,
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you

Oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh thank you for your most generous triggers

I'd have to give up knowing and give up being right
You win, inadvertant hero, you angel in disguise

And now I see the maddness in me
is brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on, when you're not in the room
And though I'd love to blame you for all,
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you

Oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh thank you for your most generous triggers
