Hello madness (Brand New)

It’s been a while,

shit don’t feel the same.

Too many ghosts,

too many names.

(Yeah)

The mirror don’t talk,

just stares me down,

Eyes all red,

I been sinkin’ now.

(Yeah)

You smiled like nothin’ ever broke,

watched the fire, lit a smoke.

Didn’t flinch,

didn’t choke—

You just let it burn slow.

(Burn slow)

Peekaboo...

yeah, I still see you,

You taste regret like it’s brand new.

Told me run,

but my legs won’t move,

(Won't move)

-Yeah

I’m stuck in the past

with a fucked-up view.

Hello madness,

we friends now?

You show up when I’m layin’ down.

Bottle full of shit I never said,

Thoughts all loud

but they stay in my head.

She missed her turn,

I missed the signs,

You took the wheel,

now I’m lost in time.

No bang, no glory—

just mistrust and shame,

Heart ain’t beat right

since you left that day.

I ain’t okay,

but I fake it nice,

Laugh too loud,

sleep with ice.

Cold ass construct,

but I dress it clean,

Actin' like I ain't fallin'

apart at the seams.

Yeah...

Hello madness, you feel like home.

In the quiet, I ain’t ever alone.

You hold me close,

when they all ghost,

Even when I hate you the most.

Don’t ask for nothin’,

I ain’t got shit,

No love, no light,

just a deep-ass pit.

Used to be loud,

now I barely exist—

You showed me I ain’t

someone they’ll miss.

(They'll miss)

Stitch up my mask,

Crack in the screen,

Screamin' inside

but the voice too clean.

(Yeah)

You ever feel that?

Like you just... fade?

Not dead, not alive—

just floatin’ in space.

(Yeah.)

Hello madness, pour me out,

I’m tired of holdin’ this fuckin’ doubt.

Thought I was strong,

but I cracked so slow,

Now I wear this pain

like a brand new rope.

I don’t know,

maybe I broke,

Maybe I snapped

and no one spoke?

Maybe this is it,

maybe I’m done—

But I ain’t the monster...

Maybe it was-

It was madness,

all along.

Maybe it's ..

Madness...
