Been a week or two since the call came through
So I thought about us and the things we do
Those times when it's hard to face anyone
It's no fun when you're forced to declare
That the years drag you down, strip you bare
Call a doctor, chiropractor
Troubled waters run deep
Call a doctor, call a lawyer
Note to self don't forget to breathe
It's hard not to die when you're demonised
I blew hot, I blew cold, I felt bought and sold
Something trapped inside cannot be denied
It's ok to be wrong from now on
I walk to the light, not just any light
But the one with a hue, shades of red and blue
I'm stopped in my tracks, I'm cut down to size
Now's the time to renew my desires
And perhaps to review my misfires
I have taken many departures
I know the heartbreaking last hours
Consecrated in burnt offerings
Laid to rest in the fire
How many years to get you started
How many more til you believe
Lost in translation, dearly departed
I'm a traitor, great defector, absent without relief
Great pretender, late contender, promises I can't keep
