Mad
Glasslands Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I see my existence? Living in fluid contradiction. And I know that I bought what you sold, but here I sleep at the bottom with my bed of stone. I just wanna stop. But we can never stop.
Is it bad that I wanna feel pain? Is it sad that I'm digging my grave? Call it mad if you wanna.
Everything you could never explain is the thorn in the side of my brain. Call it mad if you wanna.
How can I question absolution? Am I a slave to my illusion? And we bury you deep in the mold. And I stay on the edge cause I can't let go.
Is it bad that I wanna feel pain? Is it sad that I'm digging my grave? Call it mad if you wanna. Everything you could never explain is the thorn in the side of my brain. Call it mad if you wanna.
Tension drowning me out. Don't even recognize me. Madness calming me down. I just wanna make it stop. Tension drowning me out. Don't even recognize me. Madness calming me down. I just wanna. I just wanna. I just wanna. I don't wanna stop. I don't wanna stop.
Is it bad that I wanna feel pain? Is it sad that I'm digging my grave? Call it mad if you wanna. Everything you could never explain is the thorn in the side of my brain. Call it mad if you wanna.
