Madness

Caring too much about people hasn't worked out well for me,
just led to drinking too much and feeling like I can't breathe

Wondering why love is a punch to the gut
Am I hopeless, too open, or just in a rut?
Maybe its like my ex said, I'm just too much for one man,
but I keep thinking there has to be someone who'll understand

that my flame goes higher
an inexhaustible fire
you can't put in a box
the women in history
that are relatable to me
were all beheaded, burned
or killed with rocks
all I'm sayin' is
the madness never stops

Being the bigger person has left me feeling so small
but I won't degrade myself, cause then I'd have nothing at all
Its the only favor I've done my momma in years
if she knew the trail of my clothes, you'd see a trail of her tears

my flame goes higher
an inexhaustible fire
you can't put in a box
the women in history
that are relatable to me
were all beheaded, burned,
or killed with rocks
all I'm sayin' is
the madness never stops

caring too much about people hasn't worked out well for me
but I'm an emotional masochist so line up and start firing

tell my parents i was more than I was, because,
most people look better from the grave
ignore me, I'm rambling, and I don't mean what you think I'm sayin'

It's just a metaphor

my flame goes higher
an inexhaustible fire
you can't put in a box
the women in history
that are relatable to me
were all beheaded, burned
or killed with rocks
all I'm sayin' is
the madness never stops

The madness never stops.
