Madness

I've been most unwilling
To see this turmoil of mine
The thought of sitting with this
Has me paralyzed
With this prolonged exposure
To nearer and averted eyes (?)
I feigned that I've been waiting
Such mileage for empathizing

Now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
Though I'd love you to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you

Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers

It's been all too easy to cross my arms and roll my eyes
The thought of dropping all arms leaves me terrified

Now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
Though I'd love you to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you

Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers

I'd have to give up knowing and give up being right
You inadvertent hero, you angel in disguise

Now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
Though I'd love you to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You've simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you

Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers
