Some Kind of Madness

Everyday I look inside my mind
And what do I find?
Nothing new
It's just you
All the time
On my mind
In every way I think this qualifies
As some kind of madness
But oh my
Well I guess
That's just fine
She's walking on the edge
Of heaven and Earth, I swear
I like the way she is
You ask me if I'm crazy
Well if this is crazy
Then I'm okay with that
Everyday I look inside my mind
And what do I find?
Nothing new
It's just you
All the time
On my mind
In every way I think this qualifies
As some kind of madness
But oh my
Well I guess
That's just fine
She's moving like an angel
Wings on her back, I swear
I like the way she is
You tell me that I've lost it
Well I never had it
So I'm alright with that

Magic For Monkeys

Still I got nowhere to go
After all these tortured years
So I'll call you on the telephone
And tell you what you've got to hear
I'll take you by your little hands
And show you where I've been all day
Been dreaming of a thought I had
I wonder if you're here to stay
At the end of the cul de sac
Lives a dog who barks away
At the end of the tunnel in my mind
I can hear him all day
In the zoo there's a little man
Doing magic for monkeys
And in the rain stands a circus clown
Smiling out the wrinkles wondering
You're floating on a sea of gold
Drinking up the rays of sun
But really you're just getting old
And soon enough you'll be no fun
So darling won't you come with me
And join this rightful state of mind
The river won't dry this easily
At least not when it's mine
At the end of the cul de sac
Lives a dog who barks away
At the end of the tunnel in my mind
I can hear him all day
In the zoo there's a little man
Doing magic for monkeys
And in the rain stands a circus clown
Smiling out the wrinkles wondering

Sip it down, zip it up
It's no time to be caught
In the rain
To be dreaming
There's a bird on the wire
Looking into the world
That you made
And he's singing
About all the things you wrote down
Locked up safe in your diary
Thought I heard him say you're waiting
Sick and you're tired, but you're sorry
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're smiling
And happy
But just know
I hate you
Wrap it up, keep it in
So the camera can
Pick up the life
That you're leading
Look alive, look okay
So he won't get the sense
That you're dead
Or you're leaving
To pack up all the things
You left on the roof by the chimney
To get away from all the let down
Bargains and misery
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're smiling
And happy
But just know
I hate you
Though it seems like
You know what you're doing
I can tell by the reflections
That you're screwing
Everything up
With your false teeth
And your daggers
In your green rooms and your lounges
Writing songs about her
Please, let it lie
Please, just let it lie
This sleeping dog has a home tonight
But sleep with you and she'll be out for life
So, looks like it's okay
So, looks like it's just fine
For him to get what he deserves
For you to get what you deserve
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're beautiful
I hate you
You're smiling
And happy
But just know
I hate you

Loverboy Blues

Hey
I got something I really need to say
Just get it off my chest before the day ends
So have a seat right here next to me
And my head starts to spin
Fear of the flashbacks
To love that I wasted
Maybe I'm already losing control
No
I got something I really have to say
I'll admit I like the way that my pillow smells
Like honeyed milk and chocolate covered caramel
When you slept right here beside me the night before
Leaving strands of your
Hair all on the floor
Fifty thousand years ago it left me
The feeling that my heart could beat so willingly
And you don't think that I could ever believe in you
But I'm just scared of what
Changed my point of view
Hey
Your loverboy just needs a little time
It's not that I don't want this to happen (I do)
There's just a bit of pain behind my eyes
Look there it goes again
Fear of the flashbacks
To love that I wasted
Maybe I'm already losing control
No
I got something I really have to say
I'll admit I like the way that my pillow smells
Like honeyed milk and chocolate covered caramel
When you slept right here beside me the night before
Leaving strands of your
Hair all on the floor
Fifty thousand years ago it left me
The feeling that my heart could beat so willingly
And you don't think that I could ever believe in you
But I'm just scared of what
Changed my point of view
Dear
The things you promise
Fall on ears
So deaf
I'm sorry
Oh, my dear
Don't think it's over
There's one thing
I'm sure
I love you

The Hunting

I don't believe in shooting stars or chasing fairy-tales and lies
I tried so hard to find the answers in the way you plead for life
You tried to make me laugh at all the things that you were saying
And you were dancing in the night
Under the moon it felt so right
Another day has come and gone
You shot me through with something strong
I feel it in my blood tonight
I'm ready
I'm burning
Nothing can ever stay the same
I feel my bones begin to change
My vision blurs, my eyes go red
It's calling
The hunting
You were so fragile I could break you while you dreamt of war and peace
I didn't want to take a chance on milky ways and feeling free
You tried to show me that there's more to life than what i stand for
And you were dancing in the night
And all along you were so right
Another day has come and gone
You shot me through with something strong
I feel it in my blood tonight
I'm ready
I'm burning
Nothing can ever stay the same
I feel my bones begin to change
My vision blurs, my eyes go red
It's calling
The hunting
He's gonna get ya
Oh, he's gonna get ya
And tear you apart
From the queen of your heart
In the night
When you don't expect
The dagger to fall
Right on your head
You don't have to say
That you feel that way
You don't have to be
If it's not okay
At the break of dawn
I'll be waiting for ya
At the break of day
I'll be coming for ya
