Lily Talmers - Maybe It’s Madness lyrics
[Lily Talmers - Maybe It’s Madness lyrics]
Just how deep in the skin can you get?
Just how close to the bone can you go?
Dear, when I let you in
I thought nothing was unsafe to show you
I’ve recycled the best of myself
And I find that I’m
Now someone different entirely
Maybe to please you
But maybe it’s just something else
It could be fear, it could be sadness
It could be peering through your
Eyes to taste your gladness
It could be feeling through your skin
It could be wondering how you’ve been
It could be all that or it could bе madness
But how lovely that you have stoppеd by
If you’ll have it, please, do stay for tea
I’ve got nothing to do
So it’s really no bother to me
We can talk of your folks if you like
Is your sister still doing okay?
If she’s not, can I help her or help you?
Or maybe you need something else
Was it your fear? Is it your sadness?
Have you been peering through my
Eyes to taste my gladness
Have you been feeling through my skin?
Have you been wondering how I’ve been?
Well, if you haven’t, maybe it’s madness
Or it could be hope, it could be yearning
And it could be all dirt
In me finally turning
Giving up all that half-life stuff
Knowing I’ve finally had enough
Finding my gladness, maybe it’s madness
Just how close to the bone can you go?
Dear, when I let you in
I thought nothing was unsafe to show you
I’ve recycled the best of myself
And I find that I’m
Now someone different entirely
Maybe to please you
But maybe it’s just something else
It could be fear, it could be sadness
It could be peering through your
Eyes to taste your gladness
It could be feeling through your skin
It could be wondering how you’ve been
It could be all that or it could bе madness
But how lovely that you have stoppеd by
If you’ll have it, please, do stay for tea
I’ve got nothing to do
So it’s really no bother to me
We can talk of your folks if you like
Is your sister still doing okay?
If she’s not, can I help her or help you?
Or maybe you need something else
Was it your fear? Is it your sadness?
Have you been peering through my
Eyes to taste my gladness
Have you been feeling through my skin?
Have you been wondering how I’ve been?
Well, if you haven’t, maybe it’s madness
Or it could be hope, it could be yearning
And it could be all dirt
In me finally turning
Giving up all that half-life stuff
Knowing I’ve finally had enough
Finding my gladness, maybe it’s madness
