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 near and averted eyes
I think that I've been waiting
such mileage for empathizing.

And now I see the madness in me
is brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on
when you're not in the room.

Though I'd love 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.

And now I see the madness in me
is brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on
when you're not in the room

And though I'd love 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.

And now I see the madness in me
is brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on
when you're not in the room.

And though I'd love 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.
