Madness and A Cruel Streak Are Not The Same
Channel: Jonathan Mann
Date: 2019-05-13

Big fire, heel turn, foreshadowed but wasn’t earned
Love sick, Quick madness, crazy woman but not tragic
I wanted to feel sad
Instead I felt disgusted and mad
It’s fine if people don’t change
But maddness and a cruel streak are not the same 

Dark bags green eyes hair all mussed up
Sure she lost friends not first time lost loves
It’s like she forgot all of her experience 
She could have been Shakespearean 
t’s fine if people don’t change
But maddness and a cruel streak are not the same 

It all just went so quick
I just couldn’t buy it 
Given a little bit of time
The descent into madness might feel fine 

Big fire, heel turn, foreshadowed but wasn’t earned
Love sick, Quick madness, crazy woman but not tragic
Who will live and who is gonna die
Everything feels so contrived 
t’s fine if people don’t change
But maddness and a cruel streak are not the same

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 10+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
