Lyrics
Mad Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You said it yourself
To convalesce from empty sorrow
Someone had to squeal
To drive to the bottom
You said I know
I know it's not your fault
Like wire around your bones you would never numb
I take it I'm a mad man, but I would never squeal
I never said it was no good
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given
Paintings will sleep on the floor
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades
I can't take this anymore
Lock yourself up like a bird in a cage
You sing but no one ever listens
How much were you paid to sell out the mad man?
Like a scientist or a master of design
I knew exactly what I was doing
And I heard of your disease
And shots of penicillin barely kept you alive
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given
Paintings will sleep on the floor
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades
I can't take this anymore
I am the clone, I dwell in silence (4x)
The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given
Paintings will sleep on the floor
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades
I can't take this anymore
