Lyrics

Madness in Me

[Intro: John Cooper]

The madness in me

The madness in me

The madness in me

The madness in me

The madness in me

[Verse 1: John Cooper]

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: John Cooper]

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

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]

Madness in me

The madness in me

Madness in me

Madness in me

[Verse 2: John Cooper]

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: John Cooper]

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

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]

Madness in me

The madness in me

Madness in me

[Refrain: John Cooper]

Just one spark is all it takes

[Chorus: John Cooper]

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

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]

The madness in me

This is the madness in me

The madness in me

[Outro: Jen Ledger, Alexandria Cooper & John Cooper]

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
