Mountain of Madness

Ain't no mystery

About the way we feel

But you get so alone at times

When all you're trying to do is heal

What is this great misunderstanding?

Where do we go from here?

The future is in the sky above us

What if we let it just disappear?

On top of this mountain of madness

It's a long way down to hard ground

Please forgive me for asking

But there must be a better way around

The streets are on fire

The roses are dead and gone

On top of this mountain of madness

It's a long way down, so long

Ain't no victory

Worth paying such a cost

That once the final bell has rung

You've earned less than what you've lost

So many different people

Different faces and different names

But underneath our blood runs red

That's what makes us all the same

On top of this mountain of madness

It's a long way down to hard ground

Please forgive me for asking

But there must be a better way around

The streets are on fire

The roses are dead and gone

On top of this mountain of madness

It's a long way down, so long

So long

So long
