lyrics

I stay up so restless
Almost every night
Afraid I might give in
To the blinding light
I was once told that I looked like
A younger version of T.S. Eliot
from some portrait
When I bite my tongue

I’m hearing shots fired now
So get down on the floor
The Armies will kill me now
Just to settle the score

Heaven likes me in the middle
No more no less
No greatness no emptiness
Or cheap success
So I’ll stay here, just be here
As I always am
Please love me, infect me
Don’t give a damn

And the in- between days
Are always better than the rest
No one wants an abandoned child
Or an unwelcome guest
I’m hearing shots fired now
So get down on the floor
The Armies will kill me now
Just to settle the score
