Lyrics

[Intro]
The madness in me
The madness in me
The madness in me
The madness in me
The madness in me
[Instrumental]
Just one spark is all it takes
I tried so hard but it all goes up in flames
This is not the way that I thought I would turn out to be
Tried to get but all that I got was more insanity
Broken everything that I touched, just gone against me
I can't get away
[Chorus]
From the fire that burns inside, consuming
I fight to stay alive but I can't breathe
The voices scream, the enemy takes over everything
This is the madness in me
[PostChorus]
Madness in me
The madness in me
Madness in me
Madness in me
[Verse 1]
Just one chance is all it takes
Can't change the past but I can fight to change today
This is not the way that I thought I would turn out to be
Tried to get but all that I got was more insanity
Broken everything that I touched, just gone against me
Got to get away
[Chorus]
From the fire that burns inside, consuming
I fight to stay alive but I can't breathe
The voices scream, the enemy takes over everything
This is the madness in me
[PostChorus]
Madness in me
The madness in me
Madness in me
[Instrumental]
Just one spark is all it takes
[Chorus]
From the fire that burns inside, consuming
I fight to stay alive but I can't breathe
The voices scream, the enemy takes over everything
This is the madness in me
From the fire that burns inside, consuming
I fight to stay alive but I can't breathe
The voices scream, the enemy takes over everything
This is the madness in me
[PostChorus]
The madness in me
This is the madness in me
The madness in me
[Instrumental]
Are you far?
Am I left to die?
Will you come to my rescue?
He was pierced for our rebellion
Crushed for our sins
My heart will burn for you
He was beaten so we could be whole
You're keeping me alive
And my heart will burn for you
He was whipped so we could be healed
You're keeping me alive
My heart will burn for you
All of us like sheep have strayed away
We have left God's path to follow our own
It's all I can do
Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all
Written by: Brian Howes, David Hodges, John Cooper
