lyrics

Reflecting on my history leaves some thought for those who were deceived
Welcome to the end of chivalry
I’ll declare my distaste with deadpan delivery
Whatever these desires will be
Half of me is drowning the other hits the ceiling

It seems like it’s all wrapped in uncertainty
and my deepest dilemmas are plain to see
It’s taken so long to create a role
I can’t help but thinking I’m losing control

Carpark brawls and urban sprawl, this city won’t sleep until its citizens crawl
It won’t be hard to coerce once my heart broken routine is neatly rehearsed
As certain as this metal building rust
As natural as the dawn turning to dusk

It seems like it’s all wrapped in uncertainty
and my deepest dilemmas are plain to see
Its taken so long to create a role
I can’t help but thinking I’m losing control

I want to be a mess, please let me
I want to wake up on the carpet of a derelict apartment not remembering a thing
Awoken by strangers as the scenery changes and my whole body stings
Criticised and chastised but living again
