Lyrics
Darkness fills my room until I cannot breath
The night embraces me without a dream
The dawn is aeways an eternity away
Sharp as a blade on a rusted guillotine
The mask comes off at night
I see who I really am
The mask comes off at night
And I see a frightened man
Fallen from the salvation
Of your love
I've become the Madman
I am not the dreamer
I'm a solitary dream
I am the ghost that fills the machine
Sleepwalking through my days
I'm the madman, Can't you hear me scream
The mask comes off at night
I see who I really am
The mask comes off at night
And I see a frightened man
Fallen from the salvation
Of your love
I've become the Madman
I weart these masks so no one will see
The emptiness that's the real me
I'm adrift in this blackened sea
I need your love to set me free
The mask comes off at night
I see who I really am
The mask comes off at night
And I see a frightened man
Fallen from the salvation
Of your love
I've become the Madman
I've become the madman
I ache to feel your body
I beg just for your touch
My love for you is who I am
Without it I'm the madman
I've become the madman
