The Leavers: V. One Tonight (Live at the Royal Albert Hall) - Marillion

I am the keeper of my death More attempts without success Than times my name's been on your fucking breath This not a lesson or a test This is a fucking threat I don't forgive - I don't forget And I don't have much patience left Get back behind the glass words that you spit I almost can't believe You think you could be anything to me Please... my name is misery How many times could you spit in my eye Before you thought that I'd take your hide I tried playing nice, let you live your lies But lightning won't strike in the same place twice Done is done and you're out of time We're way past the point of me wasting mine Still got shit on your lips from the next in line Get the fuck off your cross bitch it's my time 2 shine Crawl your way through I almost can't believe You think you could be anything to me Please. my name is misery And misery is everything Cold - ink black and writhing - a living hell From my fractured teeth I've made Poison blades for you all, and you'll all kill yourselves In my shadow where your sorrows dwell Larger than heartlessness and just as well Bullshit banter from a limelight whore With nothing actual to fucking live for Borrow the image - suck up motherfucker Keep kissing mirrors from your spot in the gutter I just can't believe You think you could be anything to me Please... my name is misery I'm much more than your "woe is, me" Or something that you take or leave And contrary to belief... I don't keep company

And if the bottle's no solution Why does it feel so warm And if that girl is no solution Why did she feel so warm And if to feel is no solution Why do I feel Why do I feel so tired Why do I feel so broken Why do I feel so outside Why do I seem so blind I'm so sick of feeling It's ruined my life If living rough is no solution Why does it ease my mind If looking back is no solution Why are we all Nothing but children Children inside Why do the Gods Sit back and watch So many lost What kind of mother Leaves a child in the traffic Turning tricks in the dark What kind of God? I crawled around inside myself It was a long way down It was a mine and it was mine And in the darkness I saw a perfect mirror Floating in space When I meet God I'm going to ask her What makes her cry What makes her laugh Is she just stars and indigo gas Does she know why Love has no end But it's dark-angel friend Tearing women and men Slowly apart Stain Don't do that Scream Don't do that Fail Never do that Never do that I want to go out Don't do that I want an adventure Just stay. I want Just stay in I want to make love And if the bottle's no solution Why does it feel so warm And if looking back is no solution Why are we all just children inside And if to feel is no solution Why does the whole damn world feel so broken So outside and out-of-sorts A perfect mirror Floating in space Waves and numbers But oh, such beautiful numbers And oh, such waves...

You're only human So am I It's such a shame we have these secrets and lies That get discovered from time to time Whatever rises eventually falls The world turns and it turns on us all You can't live life without making mistakes You can't live trying to keep the outside world away It's time to stop Beating yourself up It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault I broke a mirror Maybe two Shattered reflections That's all I have of you Crackin' like eggshell beneath my fear I couldn't breathe, I couldn't keep the outside world away Oh dear When you lie down to sleep Repeat after me It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault We're both so tired It's not your fault It's just the way we're wired

They give me maintenance drugs Said I'll be okay They give me maintenance drugs They said I'd be okay So I'm taking my time Living from day to day You gotta live No one knows how much time No one knows how much time No one knows how much time they've got left Ñ'est-ce pas? An hour before it's dark They give me maintenance drugs Said I'll be okay They test me once a year They test me once a year You have to care You have to care You have to care You have to care No one knows how much time No one knows how much time No one knows They said I'll be okay They said I'll be okay An hour before it's dark They said I'll be okay An hour before it's dark An domhan Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it This one Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it An domhan Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it This one Whether you like it or not When it's gone, it's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it It's gonna take you with it
