According to Madilyn, “Scribbles” is the heart of the album, and describes her relationship with God by using analogies about writing a story, like her own life story.
[Verse 1]
I'm standing still in a daze
I'm hypnotized, going numb
Every time I try to spell it out
And say it right, it's always wrong
I feel as thin as this empty page
[Verse 2]
I'm sorting through these jumbled words
I'm searching for something more
A paragraph, a perfect phrase
The missing piece I've gotta find before
My story's over before it starts
Just when I reach the end
[Chorus]
You turn the page just when I think
My fairytale is over
You find the words I couldn't see
They show there's more to discover
Without you the words are lifeless
Scattered lines that feel so mindless
Without you my story is just
Pen and ink on a page
Just scribbles
Just scribbles
(Just scribbles)
[Verse 3]
Suddenly the story line
I couldn't see is coming clear
The blurry lines, they come alive
They're taking shape, beginning to appear
One chapter closes, the next begins
And when I've reached the end
[Chorus]
You turn the page just when I think
My fairytale is over
You find the words I couldn't see
They show there's more to discover
Without you the words are lifeless
Scattered lines that feel so mindless
Without you my story is just
Pen and ink on a page
Just scribbles
Just scribbles
[Bridge]
One chapter closes, the next begins
And when I've reached the end
[Chorus]
You turn the page just when I think
My fairytale is over
You find the words I couldn't see
They show there's more to discover
Without you the words are lifeless
Scattered lines that feel so mindless
Without you my story is just
Pen and ink on a page
Just scribbles
