Sound Of The Blue Heart Mad Mad World Lyrics

i stare into stormy eyes
buying time through a veil of lies
recalling all that was meant to be
all that is not here

with my pen i will write it down
in a mad mad world sits the sorry clown
spreading his fingers an inch apart
i was so, so near

grabbed all i could, but nothing real
claimed to be everything for every need
played the fool knowing all it seemed
this fool never believe

i fought love, i fought tears
fell to loneliness my fear
held my head against my will
on a pedestal for all these years
i am lost in a mad, mad world sting of truth a sigh of relief
when the innocent hearts did believe
made it all so easy then
i forget how it feels

i turn from the ragged lines
i burn from what i denied
and tied down by heartless guilt
weak from what remains

i fought love, i fought tears
fell to loneliness my fear
held my head
against my will
on a pedestal for all these years

i am lost
in a mad mad worldnot quite right but i understand
an innocent man doesn’t stand a chance
hide your tears at any cost
keep love someplace far
