about

'Madhouse' is written from the point of view of someone who was abused by their parents and/or role models as a child, and references both memories of the abuse and the affects it has on them later in life.

lyrics

I’ve planned this out for too long, you scum fuck.
But it’s useless when I’m down on my luck.

Looking back, I’ve made this my life
I tried to leave but the basement was my wife
I lay in bed staring at the ceiling
Hoping to be free
Hoping to be free

I hope you know that I’m listening
To all the fucked up things you say
I don’t need your love
I don’t need your love
I don’t need your love

I walked away from the abuse you gave
With my head held high

Ammonia drips down my throat
Burning, corroding these lungs

When you had your hands full
But you never let me down

Breathing still, laying down with my eyes shut
I think of ways to escape before my mind rots
Breathing still, laying down with my eyes shut
I think of ways to escape before my mind rots

Looking back, I’ve made this my life
I tried to leave but the basement was my wife
I lay in bed staring at the ceiling
Hoping to be free
Hoping to be free

Thanks to you I’m a shell of who I could have been
I still can’t sleep
I still can’t sleep
I stare at the thought of your face
I still can’t sleep
I still can’t sleep
