lyrics

I left the last one with my head held high and struts. I was going to change the world by singing songs and meeting girls.
I stuck it and I lived it and I thought I had it sussed. But I took too long to realise that my guitar and ego weren’t enough.

Now I’m embarrassed and I’m scared, my life it all feels done.
I’ve traded smiles for chains of smoke and I’m almost always drunk
Now I’m face to face with something behind bars that I’ve thrown up.
It hisses at me, “What the hell you playing at here, son?”

I thought I’d beat it but it never really left, it just settled in a corner and laughed at my attempts and waited for the fold and break to leave a pretty standard mess. Then it stood and it flexed.

I’m glad I don’t believe in anything after, because then when it ends it really matters. For every fall I’ve got an answer, this isn’t the last time.

You should try yoga, or meditate a bit. You just need to calm down and accept your place.
That’s just bullshit, I’m not letting go of this because the twist it keeps me going, that little monster keeps me sane.

I’ve lost friends and I’ve lost children, ruined lives and saved a few. I think on balance I’m the bad guy but I haven’t got a clue because the good stuff’s down in pencil with the negatives in pen.
If I could see how I’d turn out I’d do none of it again.
