  Madeline, I know this might come as a shock to you But its taken me this long to come around I've spent the last 3 months personifying all these songs So it would be everything you want Madeline, I swore 8 months ago I'd figure out what I needed And so I hold our timeless hope so close As I unconditionally let you go I fear my teenage dream has delayed its spring I feel this compulsive need to explore If I could go back in time, know I wouldn't dare I've fared all of these wars a little too well Madeline, I've been trying to find all the right words But somehow now they've chosen to fail I feel the heat of your resentment on my chest It is the last of what I have left of you I called these pangs of pain my lessons Stepping stones in the garden of Eden A calling cliff with no bottom I finally see how it is Madeline, I know how this must sound Dug up from the grave in your silk gown I hate all these hatchets etched with my name With the toss of a coin these fata...

  What have you done To the summer I dreamed of? Left in a drought With a withered flowered crown You like the pursuit  But you wouldn't go in for the kill The fragility of lust Shatters under your broken skin Does this endless walk of shame Pave it's way over my grave?

  I was 23, tracing the lines in the cobblestones  Tapping heels in the reds of midsummer dawn I foretold the reckoning in my sleep I tamed my complacency till it made me bleed "Fear is attachment", I say with an accent So you'll ignore what I mean Is this the yearning they said, would kill me In my deepest sleep? I can't seem to quiet the seething rage I extinguished a long time ago After all, what was it all for? An antithetical road that led me away from home?

An antithetical road that led me away from h...
