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.
