Lyrics
Through a bus window at 6am, condemned to see the dawn again, the grey unveiling commuter parade
Get off, snake your way down Wormwood Gate, arriving early, leaving late, ensuring lights get kept on, bills get paid
Every ceiling lowers, every door slams shut in seconds flat
From a smile on your face to a smack in your mouth just like that
Skim all your stones across the river. Wish upon a star
Throw your pennies in the well
You'll rest vicarious at best, until the morning bell
Pacing Misery Hill after 9, a history that draws a line from corpses hanging to a walking stiff
Water mirroring the neon strips,dying on the vine in between sips of
whatever grape or grain skews you whiff
Did you really think these strangers would embrace you like a son?
Sighing trigger warnings, wrestling daily with a loaded with a gun
Think about your place in this world, think about how far you've left to go
Stress yourself out thinking of it, sometimes it's best not to think at all
Optimistic, foolish, to think anyone would put up with your shit
All the world's a stage, and you've been suffering stage fright all your life
Moan about your breadcrumb trail. but there's still butter on your knife
