9. Where Madness Lives

Close the windows - Lock the door - Swallow up the key / I’m already stranded in this jail that I call “me” / Where do you go when you can’t outrun yourself / My head’s asleep but I can sure use the rest

Where is it I’m going? Just where have I been? / The sun is bright but I might be sleeping in, oh no / My twenty years flowed by just like a dream / Well, I may be a dreamer but I’m not what I seem because

I’ve been stranded where sadness is / I’ve been sleeping where madness lives in me / I’ve been praying for hope to spring alive / And it’s my hope – yeah I know / It’s gonna be tonight

Situation’s tight I’m feeling cramped inside a cave / Well shut out the light and I’ll stay the night cause I’m sick of being brave / The answer’s here if I just open up my mind / My spirit’s willing but I’m scared of what I’ll find

*Chorus*

What I want and what I need are very very different things…

I ain’t gonna stay where sadness is / I ain’t gonna sleep where madness lives in me / Well I’ve been praying for hope to spring alive / And it’s my hope – yeah I know / It’s gotta be tonight yeah / I’ve got this feeling that’s buried in me / I’ve got this feeling that’s buried in me / I’ve got this feeling it’s gonna be tonight
