Stagecoach Stokes - Mary Madness

This song is the only song on the album that is not sentimental
It goes out to a girl who does not deserve my sentimentality

Usin' people like a raggedy drum
Scarfin' liquor like a fool on the run
I was dancin' up on eggshells just to keep you off the rafters
I was dumb, but oh man I was young
I was wanting and it cost me a month
Like a planet made of crazy in my orbit

I said "Oh, Mary Madness, won't you let me leave you be?"
I'm doin' the same things but still I'm hoping
It's cold in the night tonight, but don't you dare ask me for a light
I need to learn to find my way outside your orbit

A venus flytrap of hate and rage
Making every day feel like a cage
An unsound mind in a sound, sound body
I'm not responsible for the things you see and feel
There's other ships to tie the anchor of your happiness

Oh Mary Madness, won't you let me leave you be?
I'm seeing the same faces and still I'm hoping
Let me drink in peace tonight and don't you dare pick a stupid fight
I need to cut the line before it takes me with you

I said, "Oh Mary, baby, I know there's things a-wrong with you"
There's faulty wires a-wrapped inside your head
You don't mean to hurt all the people that you love
But hurt you do, and hurt and hurt again
If you're listening and you think this song's for you
It doesn't matter, fix your fuckin' shit
