Atomised (Single Version) Lyrics

Atomised child

Emotions and feelings exiled

Comfort's a stranger

Displacements a dangerous game

Separate lives

A handful of characters inside

But none of them rise

To confront all the lies

And the shame

Pretend to live in hope that one day

A wave will come and wash it away

You know it won't happen but you hope and you pray

Until then you're out on your own

And you're still drinking alone

Anodyne smile

You radiate, charm and beguile

But chances appear

Then the fear fogs and hides them away

Wait for a sign

A gleam or a glow in this cold mine

A shout or a call

That all isn't void as it seems

Pretend to play the part that you play

The one where people beg you to stay

You know it won't happen but you hope and you pray

Until then you're out on your own

And you're still drinking alone

Pretend to live in hope that one day

A wave will come and wash it away

You know it won't happen but you hope and you pray

Until then you're out on your own

And you're still drinking alone
