The Madness Songtext
von Nicotine Dolls

This room I call my body, it′s so small and claustrophobic
I'm scared, in there
Have you ever had a panic attack?
Recommend it if you want to know what
It′s like to be drowning on a city bus

I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows

The madness
The madness
Of being alive, (oh)
Of being alive (oh) mm-mm

Why's everybody staring at me?
Why's everybody waiting for the giants to come
And carry me away?
Ten seconds, I know I′ll be fine
Ten seconds of thinking I might actually die
But then it subsides


I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows

The madness
The madness
Of being alive
Of being alive, oh

When you′re a kid and the other kids hit you
So hard in the head that they blow out an ear drum
That takes away your balance, and now you get car sick
Standing in one spot

And then you get older think everyone knows
That you're cracked in the center, and the breathing gets heavy
To the point where the water fills up to your eye, like
Gasping for life, but it′s all in your mind
You'll be fine
You′ll be fine
Just stay alive


At 13 I started to feel it
At 13 I started to feel
Alive
Alive
I felt the madness (alive)
I felt the madness, oh (alive)

Have you ever had a panic attack?
Recommend it if you wanna know what it's like
