Lyrics
VERSE
What wrong with me
It's just my brain?
Rusted skin
And dirty pain?
My Dark desires
Hidden the truth
Of Broken dreams
And wasted youth
PRECHORUS
I'm stuck in a misery
And lost within the lies
Of shiny Cadillacs
And broken tries
CHORUS
There is a madness
A madness over me
I can't control myself
I cannot be
The anger's still inside
The institute of me
There is a madness
A madness over me
VERSE
What's wrong with me
It's just my head
Busted lines
All circuits are dead
There's Poison inside
Burning In my soul
This time the madness
Is Costing me my soul
PRECHORUS
I'm stuck in a misery
And lost within the lies
Of shiny Cadillacs
And Broken tries
CHORUS
There is a madness
A madness over me
I can't control myself
I cannot be
The anger's still inside
The institute of me
There is a madness
A madness over me
CHORUS
There is a madness
A madness over me
I can't control myself
I cannot be
The anger's still inside
The institute of me
There is a madness
A madness over me
