madeleine Lyrics by brakence
If it’s not in her best interest, then it shouldn’t be in mine
Fragile at the hinges, pages falling off the spine
Though your worry warned you, you still beat into the punch
A dead-eyed fortune teller is not wisdom, it’s a hunch
Don’t turn your back, she’ll let you in
She’ll pull your card from the dregs again
Open your scar, peel back your skin
Out came the smoke, it’s saying “Madeleine”
Madeleine, Madeleine, yeah-no
Madeleine, Madeleine, yeah-no, oh-woah
Once upon a whim, she taught the foxes to be sly
Her letter signed with ink she spilled to darken our night sky
She’s slippin’ through the purple rain, she’s always on the hunt
Digging through the landfill, conjuring phantoms out the junk, mm-mm
Don’t turn your back, she’ll let you in
She’ll pull your card from the dregs again
Open your scar, peel back your skin
Out came the smoke, it’s saying “Madeleine”
Madeleine, Madeleine, yeah-no
Madeleine, Madeleine, yeah-no, oh-woah
Coming clean to state the obvious
‘Cause to break a fever you must let it rise, oh-woah
The disease ain’t what you thought it was
You’ve been staring in the mirror through the eyes of a widowed angel
Don’t turn your back, she’ll let you in
She’ll pull your card from the dregs again
Open your scar, peel back your skin
Out came the smoke, it’s saying “Madeleine”
Madeleine, Madeleine, yeah-no
Madeleine, Madeleine, yeah-no, oh-woah
Help, faster, help
Help, faster, help
Help, faster, help
Help, faster, help
