Going Mad

So help me whatever gods there be
I’m going mad
The communion that you brought me
Was the best I ever had
Now I have to face you in the harsh
Light of your real life
How with any deity’s help am I supposed to
Contain this inner strife?

Show me a genuine rejection
Push me away in a way I can have faith in

This whole continent’s my soul
I’m going mad
The minute your sole touches the soil
It’s gonna feel like you’re right in my back yard
How am I supposed to stop myself from going to you?
I don’t know
If I tried, I might succeed,
But you wouldn’t thank me for the..

Show me a genuine rejection
Push me away in a way I can have faith in

And I know, I know
This was never the deal
This was never supposed to touch the girl back home
Was never supposed to be revealed
And if you wanted to have your cake and eat it to
Well, I can’t judge that, coz it’s what I do
And if I know so much, how can I say to you
You shoulda known
Shoulda known

When you and I came together
There was a sundering of walls
There was nothing but nakedness between us
Nothing, nothing at all
Now you will yourself to forget
But you don’t let me go
And I can’t bear to turn my back on the greatest
Love I’ve ever known

Show me a genuine rejection
Push me away in a way I can have faith in

Ahh……
I’m going mad
I’m going mad
Ohhh… I’m going…Ahh….
