[Verse 1]
There's a crowd in my chest tonight
Pacing holes in the floor
I bite my tongue till it bleeds
Still it asks for more
My hands shake in the dark
Like they know where to go
I keep locking every door
But it kicks at my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
The madness in me
Won't sit still
It claws at my ribs
It bends my will
[Chorus]
The madness in me
It's killing me
Wanting to be let free
Wanting to be let free
He's too much to contain
Too loud in my veins
The madness in me
It's killing me
[Verse 2]
I wear my face like a mask
Till it cracks at the seams
Every smile tastes like smoke
Every prayer like a scream
I tried to bury it deep
In the dirt and the rain
But it grew right through the ground
Like a switchblade name
[Pre-Chorus]
The madness in me
Won't sit still
It claws at my ribs
It bends my will
[Chorus]
The madness in me
It's killing me
Wanting to be let free
Wanting to be let free
He's too much to contain
Too loud in my veins
The madness in me
It's killing me
[Bridge]
If I split open now
Would you still stay near?
If I let the whole thing out
Would you see me clear?
I don't want to break
I don't want to stay
But the thing inside my bones
Won't fade away
[Chorus]
The madness in me
It's killing me
Wanting to be let free
Wanting to be let free
He's too much to contain
Too loud in my veins
The madness in me
It's killing me
[Outro]
Let me loose
Let me loose
The madness in me
Don't let it win me
