THIS MAD DESIRE

from Celebration by This Mad Desire

/

lyrics

1. This mad desire that makes your heart pop.
Leaves you lonely, lifts you up to let you drop.
Don’t be angry; this is not some fearsome plot
To destroy you or control all of your thoughts.

Life is just like this. It’s never what you think.
You’re moving forward but only over the brink.
Don’t be fearful. Don’t you be afraid.
I know it’s hard now but you are the reason I have stayed.

Tears your eyes out. Fighting for the love you sought.

2. Love it lies kicking and screams in the night.
This mad conviction that the world isn’t right.
Soon comes mourning and light tiptoes in.
You will move forward; you will let the light in.

Not sung: Tears your heart out. Fighting against the love you sought.
This mad desire that turns you into something you’re not.

3. Love lurches forward. Your heart drips from your mouth.
Don’t be tearful. This can all work out.
The devil’s in us, the monsters in your soul
It may never leave you but it does not have to take control.

Not sung: Tears your eyes out. Fighting the love you sought.
Tears your heart out. Fighting the love you want.
Let the light in.
