Mad Beauty
Words and Music by Zane and Albert Chambers
My mind and soul are filled with sorrow
As I slowly wake into tomorrow
One more day will pass me by
Until I dream of you tonight
Knowing that my time with you is borrowed
As I go through pictures of you, they are slowly fading
The effect of alcohol is slowly self-sedating
And you know that I will be here waiting for you in the night
To see you in my dreams again
She's maddeningly beautiful, she was my baby
She's maddeningly beautiful, I won't hold her again
She's maddeningly beautiful, she was my baby
And I can see her, she's alive
Every time I close my eyes
Do you remember when I promised that we'd be forever
When you were pale and frail and ill and I said things would be better
And then I saw you slipping away and that was the day I braced myself
That I would never see you again
She's maddeningly beautiful, she was my baby
She's maddeningly beautiful, I won't hold her again
She's maddeningly beautiful, she was my baby
And I can see her, she's alive
Every time I close my eyes
You sold me promises you knew you couldn't keep
You leave me in the mornings and invade me in my sleep
You know I miss you when the room breaks out in light
But tonight I keep my word, I will join you on your side
I'm leaving these dreams behind
She's maddeningly beautiful, she was my baby
She's maddeningly beautiful, I won't hold her again
She's maddeningly beautiful, she is my baby
And I can see her, she's alive
And every time she blows my mind
