[00:14.34] |
You built it up brick by brick |
[00:19.45] |
Put your heart into this baseless myth |
[00:25.10] |
Nurtured it like a child |
[00:29.95] |
And dressed its wounds when it ran wild |
[00:35.12] |
You stopped to fix your face |
[00:40.28] |
Someone else stepped in and took your place |
[00:45.48] |
Now everything you once knew |
[00:50.75] |
Is running in circles around you |
[00:56.07] |
A car door slamming in your road |
[01:01.07] |
It jolts you like a kick inside |
[01:06.43] |
A year old message on your phone |
[01:11.60] |
That catches you when you can’t hide |
[01:15.39] |
I see you in the service station sign |
[01:20.70] |
I see you in the supermarket line |
[01:25.87] |
I see you silhouetted on a wall |
[01:31.03] |
But I don’t see myself there at all |
[01:40.13] |
This vessel of Balsa wood |
[01:45.40] |
Is the fag end tail of amoeba-hood |
[01:50.70] |
The busying cast confer |
[01:55.76] |
And get their taste of the drama |
[02:01.14] |
You stare through mindless daytime shows |
[02:06.31] |
And curse yourself for growing old |
[02:11.57] |
The sterile scent of shaving foam |
[02:16.64] |
Reminds you of another world |
[02:20.58] |
I see you in the roofless sombre sky |
[02:25.83] |
I see you when the lovers stop outside |
[02:31.05] |
I see you silhouetted on a wall |
[02:36.25] |
But I don’t see myself there at all |
[02:41.41] |
I see you in the sweetness of our child |
[02:46.68] |
I see you in the supermarket aisle |
[02:51.68] |
I see you when I’m kneeling on the floor |
[02:56.88] |
But I can’t see myself anymore |
[03:29.46] |
Hard times got the upper hand |
[03:34.89] |
Stole our feeble plans |
[03:39.74] |
Your faces, shot me, spin me round |
[03:45.26] |
But I won’t lie down |
[03:50.22] |
Hard times shake me to the bone |
[03:55.78] |
Face bruised, bloody nose |
[04:00.59] |
Shell shocked, crawling on the ground |
[04:06.04] |
Still I won’t lie down |
[04:18.24] |
No I won’t lie down |
[04:28.51] |
No I won’t lie down |
[04:39.14] |
I won’t lie down |
