[ti:American Trilogy]
[ar:The Delgados]
[al:The Great Eastern]
[00:14.31]I became accustomed
[00:18.38]
[00:18.67]to a kind of social servitude and no one,
[00:24.11]
[00:24.98]I mean no one
[00:26.67]
[00:27.49]could accept what I had become.
[00:31.56]
[00:32.84]Selfish, bitter, weak.
[00:36.60]
[00:36.99]Enough to make you sick.
[00:40.81]
[00:41.98]And lately I've been feeling
[00:45.47]
[00:46.37]there are bits of life I'm stealing.
[00:50.52]
[00:51.29]Get me home.
[00:52.32]
[01:10.13]At times it seems I will not help
[01:14.59]
[01:14.96]but it's just that I must save myself
[01:19.27]
[01:19.65]from fear that blankets like mist,
[01:23.64]
[01:23.96]On an optimist who insists
[01:28.35]
[01:28.96]it's the simple things that crush,
[01:32.66]
[01:33.46]And I'm crying far too much,
[01:37.53]
[01:38.10]so much so that I'm thinking
[01:42.53]
[01:43.80]my control on life is shrinking.
[01:47.13]
[01:47.88]There's a light on in my head
[01:51.72]
[01:52.28]and I'm thinking what I said.
[01:56.30]
[01:56.97]All the freedom in my brain
[02:00.85]
[02:01.71]I'm alright now,
[02:03.24]
[02:03.97]I'm just thinking what to say.
[02:07.54]
[02:25.77]Sorry doesn't seem to wash when there's
[02:31.00]
[02:31.36]truths around that I have quashed
[02:34.38]
[02:35.18]And no one.I mean no one,
[02:38.64]
[02:39.31]can depress me more than I can.
[02:43.22]
[02:44.70]So does that make me weak
[02:47.80]
[02:48.85]or should that make me sick?
[02:52.64]
[02:53.37]But lately I've been feeling
[02:57.32]
[02:58.70]that I'm gonna give up breathing.
[03:02.59]
[03:03.11]There's a light on in my head
[03:06.69]
[03:07.20]and I'm thinking what I said.
[03:11.58]
[03:12.13]All the fever in my brain
[03:16.60]
[03:16.82]I'm alright now,
[03:18.46]
[03:19.00]I can even take the pain.
[03:23.16]
[03:59.25]There's a light on in my head
[04:03.30]
[04:03.74]and I'm thinking what I said.
[04:07.68]
[04:08.27]All the fever in my brain
[04:12.38]
[04:12.91]I'm alright now,
[04:14.64]
[04:19.54][04:15.28]I can even take the pain.
