"Mad Man" lyrics

You said it yourself
To convalesce from empty sorrow, someone had to squeal
To dive to the bottom

You said I know. I know it's not your fault
Like wire around your bones you would never numb
I take it I'm a mad man, but I would never squeal
I never said it was no good

The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given
Paintings will sleep on the floor
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades
I can't take this anymore

Lock yourself up like a bird in a cage
You sing but no one ever listens
How much were you paid to sell out the mad man?
Like a scientist or a master of design
I knew exactly what I was doing

And I heard of your disease, and shots of penicillin barely kept you alive

The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given
Paintings will sleep on the floor
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades
I can't take this anymore

I am the clone. I dwell in silence
I am the clone. I dwell in silence
I am the clone. I dwell in silence
I am the clone. I dwell in silence

The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given
Paintings will sleep on the floor
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades
I can't take this anymore

The innocent will rest in the peace they've been given
Paintings will sleep on the floor
Build walls of lonely dreams as beauty fades
I can't take this anymore
