The Madness
Embracing Shadows: Joseph Hickey's Struggle Against the Inner Storm
Lyrics
I know it's hard to hear when I tell you how I fear the coming storm
I acknowledge that it's difficult to listen when I express my fear of an approaching storm.
It's ugly and rough and far too much I know you've had enough
The storm is harsh and overwhelming, and I understand that you've reached a point of saturation.
Your presence is the cost for my prudence lost
Your presence comes at the cost of my lost caution, and you are a haunting figure in my life.
Your the ghost in my life
You are the elusive and intangible element in my existence.
Your a delicate knife
You possess a fragility akin to a delicate knife.
The road ahead is long and tough sometimes I feel like I've had enough
The journey ahead is challenging, and at times, I feel overwhelmed.
I host darkness within
I harbor darkness within me.
It stays sealed with the sin
This darkness is kept concealed through sinful actions.
I must be calm and in control
I need to maintain composure and control.
lest the madness takes the toll
To prevent the destructive influence of madness.
Lest the madness takes the soul
A warning to guard against the madness consuming the soul.
Questing fingers long to trace
Expressing a desire to explore and understand with tactile sensations.
Poetic contours of your face
Admiring the poetic beauty in the features of the person.
acceptance blinds me
Blind acceptance of circumstances.
Worry defines me
Worry becomes a defining characteristic.
It all just reminds me of a troubled mind
All these experiences remind of a troubled mind.
Hush the darkness inside your mind
Encouraging to silence the inner darkness.
Making peace with going blind
Finding peace in accepting a loss or limitation.
The road ahead is long and tough sometimes I feel like I've had enough
Reiteration of the challenging journey ahead.
I host darkness within
Internalizing darkness as a persistent element.
It stays sealed with the sin
Darkness is maintained through sinful actions.
I must be calm and in control
The need for composure and control is emphasized again.
Lest the madness takes the toll
A repetition of the warning against the toll of madness.
Lest the madness is the goal
Suggesting that madness might be the ultimate destination.
I must be calm and in control
Emphasizing the importance of composure and control.
Lest the madness takes the toll
Reiteration of the warning against the toll of madness.
Lest the madness takes you whole
Stressing the potential of madness to consume one entirely.
