lyrics

I know who I am, though what I do is a lie to you
I don’t really fit, I know, I drift, but I tried not to.
We don’t need a motive we can go anytime
We don’t need the money we’ll be fine

Bit down finger nails, a whispered curse said to spite only me
All those hopes and dreams, channelled down one stream, lost to the open sea
We don’t need a reason we can leave anytime
We don’t need the money we’ll be alright

But where do we draw the line?
Half of this junk is banal
Oh what I could do
Given chance to prove myself

Until then, sweet serene, all will be concealed by the cold light of day, come dawn.

And we won’t need the money we can go anytime
We won’t need a reason we’ll be fine

Until then, sweet serene, all will be concealed by the cold light of day, come dawn.
