Giving Me Wings
You're a fool man
You throw it away
You kill her
With your confidence
In the old days
The cause you embraced
The simple things
That people over complicate
Speaking in lies
Known to yourself
You're speaking at length
On all those days
Will you come with me
And we'll be ourselves
And we'll walk into the light
And you colour yourself
In golden wings
You're never yourself
Not even with me
Will you come with me?
And we'll ask the dust
It's on my way
It's all my concentration
Can hold
But you alienate me
You throw it down
And you rip it off
When nothing's feeling right
And I'll show you how
You can sellotape it on
You're giving me wings
So I don't have to jump
And you're giving me will
So I can carry on
Dissimulate and celebrate this
Time we had alone
You throw it away
You kill her
With your confidence
In the old days
The cause you embraced
The simple things
That people over complicate
Speaking in lies
Known to yourself
You're speaking at length
On all those days
Will you come with me
And we'll be ourselves
And we'll walk into the light
And you colour yourself
In golden wings
You're never yourself
Not even with me
Will you come with me?
And we'll ask the dust
It's on my way
It's all my concentration
Can hold
But you alienate me
You throw it down
And you rip it off
When nothing's feeling right
And I'll show you how
You can sellotape it on
You're giving me wings
So I don't have to jump
And you're giving me will
So I can carry on
Dissimulate and celebrate this
Time we had alone
