lyrics

What set you back this morning?
What changed the atmosphere?
Throwing your keys across the forecourt
Pulling your hair into a crown
They’ll need to catch you first
Things couldn’t get much worse
You study yourself in the mirror
What a lovely day for a breakdown!

I want to be cradled
I want to be soft
I’m sick of being Atlas, I sick of the lot
There’s only so much of this shite I can take
I can’t get to sleep and I can’t stay awake
I want to be separate
I must be embraced
On top of the table, I’m flat on my face
There’s only so much of this shite I can take
I am a champion, I am a disgrace

Gunfire at dawn this morning
The news says expect rain
Drawing the curtains across a bombsite
Hiding yourself inside a crowd
You smile and wave them through
They’ll smell the sweat on you
You look at yourself in the window
This was always the way you imagined

I want a good run-up
I want to delay
I stab the tyres down the hospital way
There’s only so much of this shite I can take
Taking salt in my coffee and savouring the taste
I missed my big opening
I got my desire
I climbed over barriers straight into fire
There’s only so much of this shite I can take
I lost my three wishes, I bathe in mistakes

You sure ask a lot of questions, don’t you?
Curiosity is a pet peeve of mine
You sure ask a lot of questions, don’t you?
Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy?
Wouldn’t you like to know!
That kid was at it, man.
They put him up to it!
But don’t let it bring you down!
We’re all just one embarrassing evolutionary step in front of an audience of indifferent stars
Put that next to your Live Laugh Love sign!
But the vastness of space doesn’t make me feel insignificant
I’m not going to be shamed by a VOID!
Work on your self-esteem!
Mind your own business, weather boy!
Would you like to know?
You’ve decided that something needs to be done
but you’ll do nothing because you’re alright, aren’t you?
You take solace in the fact that the dirt will welcome you
The same as everyone else
