Mad Men

Lyrics

Raved all week, unshaven, forgotten how to speak
A decade, locked inside, with Sanskrit paradigms
I see the stars glitter outside with nothing to hide
I've seen rays in my heart play their pathetic part

So, come alive!
Your flesh will only hide you
And flying high
Passing the thunderclaps' tune
And those who hate
Seek your reflection within them
Then you'll be safe
Guarding the truth

Men of hate, ransoms high, watching me die
They fill me up with guilt, destroying what I've built
They've had me here for days and they blame my future
For what they realize will be their last adventure

So, come alive!
Your flesh will only hide you
And flying high
Passing the thunderclaps' tune
And those who hate
Seek your reflection within them
Then you'll be safe
Guarding the truth

Wading through dust oceans eyeing the village ruins
Breathing in fumes of hate from some forgotten cage
I see the stars flicker the light show 'bout to end outside me
Inside me I move with my own candle

So, come alive!
Your flesh will only hide you
And flying high
Passing the thunderclaps' tune
And those who hate
Seek your reflection within them
Then you'll be safe
Guarding the truth
