Mad Night

[Intro]
Child don't let it get you
We got mouths to sift through
We'll fly high one day
But how much time can you take?

[Chorus]
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
Don't they last so long?
Runnin' through the bad days strong
To the last light gone
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
So busy, so blank
Drivin' through the whiteout with nothin' left in the tank

[Verse 1]
She sat alone on the hilltop with a pillbox
Pretendin' to shoot out all the city lights
Starin' at the [?] block tryin' to make the chills stop
Just her and her thoughts tryin' to get it right
Thinkin' 'bout that first time, the first time
Felt like winter sent shivers down her little spine
Never felt a rage so cold
She was only eight years old
Said if she told
October breeze now revealin' its plan
Soon there'll be snow on the ground
The steel is heavy in her hands
While she's loadin' the rounds the cars passin' below
If they only knew the half
Or maybe they knew, she ain't the only one trapped
And then it flashback again and it felt so real
Hard to tell with feelings these days
Might be her last chance
The round waiting to unload

[Chorus]
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
Don't they last so long?
Runnin' through the bad days strong
To the last light gone
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
So busy, so blank
Drivin' through the whiteout with nothin' left in the tank

[Verse 2]
Every moment her family must’ve been stoic
Was a quiet implosion
That aching and numbness and nobody knows it
No one to trust, no where to go then
Nothing is just, nothing you're holdin' is sacred
Her thoughts adjusted to handle strangers
Everyone's an angler tryin' to get they hooks in
If you know what they took then
You would know they got no place in the book that they read from
Thought of killin' once
Thought of runnin' too
Felt the same chill runnin' through her spine
When she held the .45 had to choose:
Put one between his eyes, or one in her own
If she die would a Phoenix rise?
Or would she feed the flies?
Unhook the safety, turn off the phone
Push the gun to her head and toss the heater aside
Hope the heat of the night don't eat her alive

[Chorus]
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
Don't they last so long?
Runnin' through the bad days strong
To the last light gone
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
So busy, so blank
Drivin' through the whiteout with nothin' left in the tank

[Outro]
Hey
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
Don't they last so long?
Runnin' through the bad days strong
To the last light gone
Singin' that satellite song
All those lonely nights
Don't they taste like pollution and ache like a cracked rib with no resolution?
