Alanis Morissette: Madness

I've been most unwilling to see this turmoil of mine
The thought of sitting with this has me paralyzed

With this prolonged exposure to mirror and averted eyes
Ive feigned that I've been waiting: such mileage for empathizing

and now I see the madness in me is brought out in the presence of you
now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
and though I'd love to blame you for all, I'd miss these moments of opportune
you've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you
oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
oh thank you for your most generous triggers

It's been all too easy to cross my arms and roll my eyes
The thought of dropping all arms leaves me terrified

and now I see the madness in me is brought out in the presence of you
now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
and though I'd love to blame you for all, I'd miss these moments of opportune
you've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you
oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
oh thank you for your most generous triggers

I'd have to give up knowing and give up being right
You inadvertent hero, you angel in disguise

and now I see the madness in me is brought out in the presence of you
now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
and though I'd love to blame you for all, I'd miss these moments of opportune
you've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you
oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
oh thank you for your most generous triggers.
