lyrics

I speak loud in a shrieking tone

And my thoughts are not my own

And I just wonder why



My friends are all skin and bone

Ringing empty telephones

And I just wonder why



There’s a gaping hole inside me

I could turn this day to night

When you pull me left, I push right

And all you’re going to get from me

Is a first refusal

It’s a lonely war

But it’s one I’ll always fight



I cry through my maniacal grin

My walls stand but I’m caving in

And you just wonder why



You might twist but you’ll never fit

Your fists swing but you’ll never hit

And you just wonder why





It’s a lonely war so I start the attrition

I had a long walk back from my crucifixion

And I man the gates

And sit and pontificate

About the right and the wrong way

And where you should all stay

Back in the good old days

Where there’s not so much colour

As just shades of grey

And it’s my own fault

That I let them slip away

Slip the wrong way down

The tunnels that you dig

Will never lead you to nowhere

I spot the difference

Contrast/compare

None of you can phase me

Confuse me or daze me

I’m on the home front

Where I like to fight my battles

Where my voice can shriek

And my bones can rattle

When I think my thoughts

Nobody is safe.
