The Madness

What if I fall
What if I
What if I
What if I say you're
Someone I believe in
Will you be it
Will I mean it
What if I push down every doubt
That starts to rise
What if I lock the door
And never let you pry
Won't you try
What if I lie

What if we stay in the moments before
The madness
The madness
The madness

(Walk through the door
I know it's scary, it'll be alright
The devil only looks like an angel
In the lamppost's light)

Why can't I ever hold
What falls into my hands
Why are we born alive
If death is where we end
What if I twist the words I write down
Will reality bend
What if our souls don't really die
I think it's scarier then
What if I lose my voice
From screaming constantly
Will you help me to heal what I can't see

(I fear these questions draw me closer
To the light that fuels the flames below
There are things I may neglect to tell you
To spare you from the hell I know)
(I know)

What if I fall into the madness

Take me
Back into the day
When all that I had to worry about
Was some school and a playdate
If I take this line of thought too far
And the light vacates my mind
Will you take me
Back to the day before the night
When it all went to hell
I was only nine
Only an eighth of my life gone
And now I'm at a quarter
Getting shorter of breath
Like that wise man said
Closer to death
I'm over the edge
I'm falling deeper into the madness
I'm glad that I have this bittersweet casket
If I need to take a break
But I don't wanna get away from the pain
Take the Insensate
Savor the taste of the fake lies
That you're feeding on
And don't be speaking a word about it
If you want to find the truth
You have to look into it
Don't believe a single word
Of what they're feeding you
Whatever it means, I'm bleeding
I'm staying true
And I don't want to ever lose
The ability to change my mind
So I'm checking my options
And if it's really gonna get that bad
I don't want you to follow me
Into the darkness
Don't follow me into the darkness

If I lose my mind
On the path I'm walking down
Will you promise not to follow me
If I lose my light
And my sworn enemy becomes my lord
Promise me that you won't lose yours
That you won't lose yours
