THE MADNESS OF CATHY Lyrics

THE MADNESS OF CATHY Text

---

I WOULD KILL MYSELF RIGHT AWAY IF I KNEW
SUCH A DEED WOULD KILL EDGAR TOO
I SHALL FADE AWAY DELIGHTED TO LEAVE THOSE
WHOSE HATRED OF ME GROWS
THEY'LL NOTICE I SUPPOSE

WHY ARE WE SO COMPLICATED? LET ME BE OBLITERATED
LET ME SUFFER THE FINAL STROKE OF PAIN
LET ME BE A CHILD AGAIN
TELL ME I'LL SOON BE WELL
TELL ME I HAVEN'T QUITE REACHED HELL

AS MY LIFE SUBSIDES, AS THE FEVER BEGINS
I CAN TASTE AGAIN, MORTAL SINS
I CAN LIVE AGAIN, EXCESSES OF MY PAST
SEDUCTIVE, HOLDING FAST, WAS I TOO GOOD TO LAST?

WHY ARE WE SO COMPLICATED? LET ME BE OBLITERATED
LET ME SUFFER THE FINAL STROKE OF PAIN
LET ME BE A CHILD AGAIN
TELL ME I'LL SOON BE WELL
TELL ME I HAVEN'T QUITE REACHED HELL


WHERE TO GO? HEART EVER HOUNDED
COWARD? NO - SPIRIT CONFOUNDED
ALWAYS HOPING BELIEF WILL BRING RELEASE
GOD ALONE CAN GIVE ME PEACE
WATCHING ME SCREAM AND HATE
ONLY CHOOSING WHEN IT'S TOO LATE
