26 Lyrics by Cam Barr

Mad As A Hatter

2024

I'm almost twenty-six
And I'm still young but I noticed
That a pattern exists
If anyone who has ever loved you left you
Expect them to leave
If nobody ever cared to see you shine
Then they'd rather go blind
Than have to stand the sight
And you lie when you say time has made you kind

Time has made you ruthless
Time has made you... you
Time has hurt you with invisible wounds
So that nobody believes you when you say that they still hurt
And it's not the only teacher who'd rather see you dеad than clever
Who hates it whеn you're trying and doesn't want you to get better

You thought things would change
Now that you unleashed the light
But they treat you like a matchstick
Even though you're a forest fire
They'll try to stomp you out
They'll throw you to the ground
Next time you feel it coming round
Just promise me you'll let it all out
And you'll finally smile as you burn everything down

But time still might have made you kind
At least kinder than most
You don't have to take all the punches
And carry every cross
That's why your face is always blue
That's why your back is always broken
That's why everything you do
Ends up getting not noticed

So learn to shout out the words that ring true
You've always wanted to die for something
So why not die for you?
You've got to give it everything you've got
'Cause one day something will stick
You've got to give it everything you've got
'Cause the captain goes down with the ship
And it shouldn't take almost drowning
To understand any of it

But you still drown in everything you wanna be
And just because you're lost at sea
It doesn't make you free
It just means you're in the right position to be begging for mercy
Just how they like to see you, always crawling on your knees
