[Verse 1] I met beauty in a fracture In the crack along the vase It was leaning, almost falling Still it held the morning light A wild hand drew the outline A calm hand named the lines What the storm began in silence Reason finished as a sign [Pre-Chorus] And I thought, "How can this be?" That the chaos knows the way Something broken starts to sing When it learns to disobey [Chorus] Madness made it beautiful Reason wrote it down Madness made it beautiful Kept it safe and sound Oh, the wild and the wise Both were true that night Madness made it beautiful Reason gave it light [Verse 2] There was ink on the napkin There were stars in the spill There was fire in the kitchen And a kind of perfect still Every flaw became a doorway Every scar became a frame What I feared was just the pattern What I lost was just a name [Pre-Chorus] And I thought, "How can this be?" That the chaos knows the way Something broken starts to sing When it learns to disobey [Chorus] Madness made it beautiful Reason wrote it down Madness made it beautiful Kept it safe and sound Oh, the wild and the wise Both were true that night Madness made it beautiful Reason gave it light [Bridge] Maybe love begins in pieces Maybe peace is not the start Maybe clarity comes trembling After dreaming in the dark So I let the picture change me Let the logic take its place Now the ruin has a rhythm And the ruin has a face [Final Chorus] Madness made it beautiful Reason wrote it down Madness made it beautiful Kept it safe and sound Oh, the wild and the wise Both were true that night Madness made it beautiful Reason gave it light Madness made it beautiful Reason gave it light
