lyrics

Madness is a lonely man’s tale
Take you down and take away
Whatever good you had to say
How some just let it go

I am sad the way sad can be
Steal away your dignity
Turn the night into a raging sea
How some just let it go

Madness is a lonely man’s tale
The more you cry the more you wail
Ain’t no one left to watch you fail
Madness is a lonely man’s tale

Now, I am mad the way a man can be
You lose the love, you lose the need
For anyone to come and help you breathe
How some just let it go

Madness is a lonely man’s tale
The more you cry the more you wail
Ain’t no one left to watch you fail
Madness is a lonely man’s tale

You want to roll like a cannonball
You want to run ‘fore you can crawl
You want to think you can have it all
Can’t have it all

Madness is a lonely man’s tale
The more you cry the more you wail
Ain’t no one left to watch you fail, watch you fail
Madness is a lonely man’s tale, madness is a lonely man’s tale
Madness is a lonely man’s tale, madness is a lonely man’s tale

He weaves genres as he fuses traces of Emo, Soul & Folk to create his own unique style of Rock & Roll. Always emotive and energetic on recordings, his live shows are a spirited and at times deeply personal experience.
