Madness - Maria Mena

In love I watched you change into a man

Mirrored in my skin you looked your best

And I would rather you stay innocent

Than you discovering who I really am

I would’ve worn a warning

If I knew what was wrong

But you discovered layers

That I knew nothing of

Convinced that you could save me

Took years to see the truth

That it had been imprinted

Set in rock start from youth (?)

There’s a certain kind of madness

That just cannot be explained

Under sympathetic sadness

Beastly anger left untamed

There’s a certain kind of pleasure

In seeing lovers squirm like snakes

It’s how easily I measure

Just how much me you can take

I really tried to tell you

Run away whilst free

While I try to uncover

What’s really haunting me

I’d rush while bobbing under

Mouth open, bending knees

It’s true what people tell you

About the apple and the tree

Did you consider leaving

When you saw her and me

Talking is charm intriguing (?)

Until I let you see

There’s a certain kind of lover

Makes you question who you are

Makes you hand over your powers

Leave a bulging heart-shaped scar

There are certain kind of memories

That I don’t know where to place

Cannot shake, cannot pretend that

These are things I can erase

I do not understand you

Though grateful for your love

The demon is an old friend

You cannot free me of

(Oh)

There’s a certain kind of lover

Makes you question who you are

Makes you hand over your powers

Leave a bulging-heart shaped scar

There are certain kind of memories

That I don’t know where to place

Cannot shake, cannot pretend that

These are things I can erase

I do not understand you

Though grateful for your love

The demon is a old friend

You cannot free me of
