Part of a family of works from Max’s songbook conjured up by what he calls “my moments of madness” – times when he feels a little insane and commits those feelings to a song, letting them go until he feels grounded once more.
Lyrics
DROWN
Careful how you paint your hero’s
You may not like their colours
A lesson my father taught me,
Was to hold a gun still enough it doesn’t shutter
I don’t like the feeling in sunsets
But I love the smell of smoke
My brother taught me to walk through fire
When I got burnt it was just a joke
You have every weapon and every tool
But you can’t have your cake and eat it too
Break the walls down
Let them all out
Driving me insane is not the goal
We arrived there a long ago
They bite down
Wake up or you will…
Washing my hands but they’re never clean
You would do the dame if you saw what I’ve seen
I know that you know what I’m saying
Got no god but I’m still praying
(Oh I’m still praying)
You have every weapon and every tool
But you can’t have your cake and eat it too
Break the walls down
Let them all out
Driving me insane is not the goal
We arrived there a long ago
They bite down
Wake up or you will…
Drown
Disorientated
In the state that I stayed in for far so long
I’ve bound my old habits in a habitat crafted in this song
I hope that one day I will see what you see in me
But for the moment I’ll break every mirror that I meet
You have every weapon and every tool
But you can’t have your cake and eat it too
Break the walls down
Let them all out
Driving me insane is not the goal
We arrived there a long ago
They bite down
Wake up or you will…Drown
