Madeline - The Great Masquerade

 


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 fatalities I maim


And all this time becomes a memory

It chases shadows weighing down on me

Madeline, this apology reins in my heresy

I choose you to be my muse for eternity.
