Haste The Day - Mad Man lyrics

[Verse 1] 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. [Chorus] 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. [Verse 2] 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. [Chorus] 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. (x4) [Chorus] (x2) 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.
