The 12th track featured on Poe’s second album, Haunted.
The song’s lyrics are reminiscent of the letters Pelafina writes to her son in the book House of Leaves, switching from glad to furious in tone seemingly at random, thanking someone for their visit and seemingly entrusting them with the respons...
I'm so glad that you decided to come
I'm so glad that you decided to come
(Here we go)
(One, two, three, four!)
Go ahead make yourself comfortable darlin'
I've got a proposition for you
There's a room available inside of my heart
And I hope it will be taken by you
You can bring whatever you wanna bring baby
Each and everyone of your friends
And if you want a dog or a big bullfrog
Hell, I've got room for them
'Cos I'm so glad you finally decided to come
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have
You cause in me an impossible craving
No way that it will be denied
If I decided to make you my religion
I think God would be kind
So I made a wish on a million of the stars
Registered your name on a few
That way if you ever forget who you are
You can look up and see a picture of you
Ohh, I'm so glad you finally decided to come
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple
I have to keep a hold of myself
Is that really you or is it someone else?
I swear it looks just like him
I wonder can he see what a state I'm in?
Like a broken bridge
Gotta swing on him just like a jungle gym
Father, I've been in her house
I've experienced her, her madness
And I rejected the entire experience
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have, ohh
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad
Don't you see You're driving me crazy?
Don't go leave me now
Don't you see You're driving me crazy?
Don't go leave me now
Could’ve Gone Mad was written by Poe & Daris Adkins.
