[Verse 1]
He wore a crooked grin
Under a bent-up moon
She came in white and wild
Like a spark in a darkened room
He said, “Don’t get too close”
With tea rings on his hands
“But if you want my heart
You won’t like where it lands”
[Pre-Chorus]
She traced his broken smile
Said, “I like the way you burn”
He laughed like a warning sign
Then watched her never turn
[Chorus]
Mad Hatter, take me down
(Take me down)
Alice lost inside your crown
(Inside your crown)
If this is ruin, let it bite
Let it bruise me, let it break me right
Mad Hatter, hold me tight
(hold me tight)
We were doomed from the first goodnight
[Verse 2]
He led her through the hedge
Where the roses bled in red
Every step felt wrong
Still she followed where he went
He said, “You’ll lose your name
You’ll forget your own face”
She said, “I came for the fall
Not to be saved”
[Pre-Chorus]
His hand shook in the dark
When she pulled him closer in
Two lost hearts on borrowed time
Choosing chaos over sin
[Chorus]
Mad Hatter, take me down
(Take me down)
Alice lost inside your crown
(Inside your crown)
If this is ruin, let it bite
Let it bruise me, let it break me right
Mad Hatter, hold me tight
(hold me tight)
We were doomed from the first goodnight
[Bridge]
[Music drops to voice and guitar]
He said, “Love is a trap”
She said, “Then lock the door”
He said, “I’m made of cracks”
She said, “I want you more”
And the night went thin and blue
As the whole world slipped away
When the madness kissed her name
She stayed
[Final Chorus]
Mad Hatter, take me down
(Take me down)
Alice lost inside your crown
(Inside your crown)
If this is ruin, let it bite
Let it bruise me, let it break me right
Mad Hatter, hold me tight
(hold me tight)
We were doomed from the first goodnight
Mad Hatter, take me down
(Take me down)
I’d choose your doom one more time
