Lyrics
Staring Madly
words and music: Jason Van Meter
It was dusk as he walked so silently
Rain-soaked to the t-shirt, pretending not to see
that she drowned herself, in a bucket full of lies
It wouldn?t hurt so bad if it weren?t for all the eyes,
Staring Madly
Breathing in on one last cigarette, knowing that it?s happening but not how far one gets away from you
Before you turn around, they wonder why he never smiles
Never makes a sound
Staring Madly
Her eyes as she raised her hand to him
Flared a red ferocity, face stretched in a grin
Pain smarts like it did those times before
Last time that it happened, he shuffled out the door
Staring Madly
Half the night it took before he thought
What must?ve been the reason why they lost themselves and fought like the last time and the ones right before that
Avoiding all the reasons why one might deserve a smack
Staring Madly
As she opened up the door, apologize and justify
His face was red and sore, forgive but not forget
One can take so much of this and snap right through the nets
Staring Madly, Staring Madly, Staring Madly
