Madman's Eyes

(album: Walk Around The Moon - 2023)

Little Billy's got a gun
Little Billy's having fun
Shooting bottles on the wall
Dreams the hero come home from war

Is this real
Is this make believe
You'd think we'd know how everything's supposed to be
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Can't hear what you're saying
With everybody screaming

I'm afraid, can't lie
Momma said baby don't you cry
In the dark be the light
Don't let go baby hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes

The truth might not be crystal clear
But if might is right there's no room for love in here

Pray to god and hope he's listening
Then a man with a gun brings the demons in

We live as if our hands are tied
Is it really so hard
To do what we know is right
To protect the things
That we hold dear
Must we do things that
We should never forgive

I'm afraid, can't lie
Momma said baby don't you cry
In the dark be the light
Don't let go baby hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a mad man's eyes

Run and hide
Don't ask why
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes

When it's too late to untwist the knife
How do we face hatred with the love inside us

I'm afraid, can't lie
Momma said baby don't you cry
In the dark be the light
Don't let go baby hold on tight
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a mad man's eyes
