oh thank you for your most generous triggers

I've been most unwilling 
To see this turmoil of mine 
The thought of sitting with this 
Has me paralyzed 

With this prolonged exposure 
To near and averted eyes 
I think that I've been waiting 
Such mileage for empathizing 

Now I see the madness in me 
Is brought out in the presence of you 
Now I know the madness lives on 
When you're not in the room 
Though I'd love to blame you for all 
I'd miss these moments of opportune 
You simply brought this madness to light 
And I should thank you 

Oh, thank you 
Much thanks for this bird's eye view 
Oh, thank you 
For your most generous triggers 

It's been all too easy 
To cross my arms and roll my eyes 
The thought of dropping all arms 
Leaves me terrified 

And now I see the madness in me 
Is brought out in the presence of you 
Now I know the madness lives on 
When you're not in the room 
Though I'd love to blame you for all 
I'd miss these moments of opportune 
You simply brought this madness to light 
And I should thank you 

Oh, thank you 
Much thanks for this bird's eye view 
Oh, thank you 
For your most generous triggers 

I'd have to give up knowing 
And give up being right 
You, inadvertent hero 
You, angel in disguise 

And now I see the madness in me 
Is brought out in the presence of you 
And now I know the madness lives on 
When you're not in the room 
And though I'd love to blame you for all 
I'd miss these moments of opportune 
You simply brought this madness to light 
And I should thank you 

Oh, thank you 
Much thanks for this bird's eye view 
Oh, thank you 
For your most generous triggers
