LYRICS:

There's never been a reason to fear or doubt

anything you've not already brought about,

De facto marriage and a hearing aid

I can hear my thought fraudulate away.

So you fall into place

like you've done before,

the door man's job is to be ignored,

so talk yourself down

from the coming rage

like trying to reason with a hand-grenade.

Fear cannot be undone,

picking splinters in the sun,

a dream to fill with hope

a knife you tried

but could never smoke

Tears can fool all but some,

the rest can all be, but one,

the dream you filled with hope,

and died of breath, cos you never spoke.

The dust has long since settled itself

on the walls of your lungs for nothing else

and the increasing sense of disbelief

chastises your blood

for the need to breathe.

You'll never get within

just from going without

too easy it seems for the trying devout.

Compliant minds and insomniac brains

as the blood comes down like a tidal rain.

Finding the answers in echoes,

and wearing smiles that won't climb to my eyes.

Fight it, start the mend.

Don't keep the wolves at bay,

bleed them where they lie,

you might as well live to see another life.

Start it for what's left,

don't let it see another light.

Bleed it, let it die,

cos there's something more here

that's worth your life,

pull yourself together as you come alive.
