lyrics

A Day Away From Madness
V1
I get up on the wrong side of a fold out sofa bed, a day away from madness and beyond.
Plagued by paranoia and a heavy sense of dread; a day away from madness and beyond.
Fear splits me in two like a chainsaw to my skull, a day away from madness and beyond.
Minutes drag like hours, paralysing dull; a day away from madness and beyond.
V2
Face down on the pavement, December on my back; a day away from madness and beyond.
Hanging by a thread over the infinite black; a day away from madness and beyond.
Flashbacks to oblivion a t-shirt stained with blood; a day away from madness and beyond.
Sifting through the debris like the chaos from a flood, a day away from madness and beyond.
CHORUS
ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh ooh ooh a day away from madness and beyond.



V3
Hijacked by my ego and stripped of self-control, a day away from madness and beyond.
These demons they’re relentless, they are tragic and they’re cruel, a day away from madness and beyond.
If my head goes under once more I’ll be gone, a day away from madness and beyond.
I’ll have crossed the threshold to the point of no return, a day away from madness and beyond.

Chorus same

V4
Anxious for the future but still I’m looking up, a day away from madness and beyond.
There’s another life that’s waiting and I can’t afford to stop, a day away from madness and beyond.
There’s a change on the horizon and its dragging me along, a day away from madness and beyond.
It seems like something right in the midst of all that’s wrong, a day away from madness and beyond.

Chorus same
