Madness
Evil Empire Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mountains' curves don't worry about their size
They know they're perfect just the way they are
Moonshine lights all on earth the same
She don't mind the places you have been

I'm guilty judging I admit
I'm guilty for not thinking straight
I'm guilty of getting brainwashed
I'm guilty father up above
I am not worthy of your love
Im guilty's something that we're taught

Falling leaves know when it's time to leave the tree
Wind it blows without restrictions it is free
Clouds drift by, lake's a mirror for the sun
Island is asking nothing of no-one

I'm done fighting for what I can't explain
Done fighting for what you cannot give
Can we stop the madness in this mess
Can we stop fighting ourselves

I'm so ashamed for what I've done
I'm so ashamed you were the one
I cant believe what we've become
Can you forgive me for my sins




Can i get love for who I am
I'll try to be a better man
