08. Into the Minds of Madmen
6:26
Words by CP

In a lot of ways, giving up is like going to sleeep
you can try it for a while before the cycle repeats
and any time you decide to run with your feet
it’s only a matter of time until you’re back at defeat

And i can’t stop from stealing
the logic from this feeling
there’s no point not revealing
this unstoppable dive, i’m going down

You’ll escape from my mind, i’m going down
you’ll escape from my mind, this is the-

End of an era, and there’s nothing left to fear
i’m an anvil for a chute
so don’t waste your time on the tears
i’m a vampire and a drain without the novelty of reins
descent takes new meaning when it comes to me

Stutter at first, spit out the rehearsed lines
i’m shaking and taking too many steps at a time
tripping over my words, with the second and third try
to explain to you that we’re all about to die

And you won’t believe it wasn’t all a big lie
until you could see the brewing storm in these eyes
i’m not a fraud, not ineffective this time
and this will be the last time, that you see me cry

The madness of my symphony’s begun
now sit back and watch the fun
