lyrics

I can feel it in my toenails
a little tingle in my throat
a little voice telling me to go home

I can see it in the billboard
the one that flashes at my window
through the kudzu on a hot sticky night

and I can’t trust anybody

I see all the madness, madness all around me
I hear all the people yelling, screaming
I see all the madness, and I think it’s in me
I can feel it in me
and I am terrified

A friendly possum reminds me
at this moment wars are happening
and the best thing to do is just lay down and die

normally I’m not this paranoid
but lately, it’s something I can’t avoid
the world I love is slowly being destroyed

and I’m boarding up my windows

I see all the madness…

I used to say to myself at night
love is gonna win, love is gonna win
lost in darkness, can’t find the light
love is gonna win, love is gonna win
If I start stocking food and supplies
like it’s gonna be winter (a really long winter)
like a nuclear winter
maybe I’ll survive

and I feel my heart beat faster

I see all the madness…

I see all the madness, madness all around you
I hear you crying, yelling, screaming
I see all the madness, and I think it’s in you
cause I see it in you
and I feel it in you
and I know it’s in you
and I am terrified
