Larkin Poe - Mad As A Hatter

submitted by Zawash

5 years 6 months 3 weeks ago

A very good song about mental health, watching someone you love slipping away and wondering if you might be next.

Larkin Poe performing Mad As A Hatter in The Convent Club chapel.

Lyrics:
I know what time is, Time is a thief.
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep.
You'll never feel it

It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head.
Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said...
It happens to everyone

Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
and I can't forget that one fourth of his blood is mine
I try not to worry

Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine.
Please don't come for me,
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time.
Please don't come for me.
Mind over matter when you're as mad as a hatter

It's hard to draw a clear distinction
When you are who you are.
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
though I keep playing

Well they say the world is what you make it
you think, speak and breathe.
and those rules solidify, stuck in a world of make believe.
You make the best of what you are given

Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine.
Please don't come for me,
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time.
Please don't come for me.
Mind over matter when you're as mad as a hatter

Off with the head, off with the head
paint the roses, paint the roses
