Riley Breckenridge - Madman lyrics

[Verse 1] Our course is coarsely plotted On a map of shoddy dreams But hindsight will reveal Time's moving faster than it seems Maybe I'm just selfish 'Cause I've got nothing left to give I'm still a foolish boy I've got a lifetime left to live [pre-Chorus] I was swinging like a madman Not quite sure what I'd felled And I might never understand Exactly what it was I'd held Now I watch the sun descending From the weathered gravel roof And I recall the sky [this guy?] once told me That all lies lead to the truth [Chorus] So I'll look the other way And I'll turn a deafened ear And I'll talk of distant lands Pretend I was never here [Verse 2] Reality beads on my skin Like a slicker in the rain But now I feel it's soaking in And I begin to feel the pain I fight the urge to run to you This is how it has to be We've got to step away Right now we're just too close to see [pre-Chorus] I was swinging like a madman Not quite sure what I'd felled And I might never understand Exactly what it was I'd held Now I watch the sun descending From the weathered gravel roof And I recall the sky [this guy?] once told me That all lies lead to the truth [Chorus] So I'll look the other way And I'll turn a deafened ear And I'll talk of distant lands Pretend I was never here And I'll look the other way And I'll turn a deafened ear And I'll talk of distant lands Pretend I was never here
