He has to stop this madness…
And he has to stop it now…
It’s driving him to insanity…
Yet he does not know how…
All these crazy visions…
Running through his head…
He wants her so fucking bad…
The words must remain unsaid…

He knows what he wants…
But not sure how to get…
So he’s chasing shadows…
It will all end with regret…
And feeling like Gene Wilder…
Stood high upon the ledge…
Looking down upon his life…
After chasing his woman in Red…

He knows all the outcomes…
The damage it would cause…
Pure souls lost forever…
Closing all the open doors…
So he has to break the cycle…
This habit that has formed…
But he is so very weak…
Even when forewarned…

Because he’s seen it all before…
And it never turns out right…
Caught up in the moment…
And people ruining their lives…
By chasing stolen moments…
And feasting on forbidden fruit…
It never ends the way it should…
And the sorrow is so acute…

The memories get forgotten…
And the passion quickly dies…
She’d never speak to him again…
Or ever look him in the eyes…
Yet stood in life’s casino…
There always is a chance…
Could he defy all the odds…
Could it occur by happenstance…

So he finds himself conflicted…
But he knows what he must do…
Try to bury all these feelings…
And begin his life anew…
Because this really is madness…
And he dare not confess now…
Though it’s driving him insane…
He has to forget her somehow…
