Fretblanket - Supercool lyrics

rate me

Tell me I'm your everything, all that you could need,<br />

A saviour and a hero, lie to me at least,<br />

Tell me I need challenges, a life full to the brim,<br />

And a chorus line of motivators kicking my head in<br />

I could do with a break, a holiday, a stretch of yellow sun,<br />

I need to feel the ocean - it keeps me safe from harm<br />

And I'd love to really feel the earth beneath my feet,<br />

To feel that I am being swept along with it.<br />

Give me all your troubles, I can take the strain,<br />

I'm another Samson, I can feel no pain,<br />

Watch me from a distance, see me buckle and break,<br />

Knowing it would happen, knowing your escape<br />

But I'm bang up to date, the modern man, an icon for my times,<br />

I've nothing to declare except this fallacy of mine<br />

And it may be too late to save myself, to stop the awful rot,<br />

To kill the killer instinct, and suffocate the lot<br />

Give me everything, give me everything you've got...<br />

Can't get through, mouth open and mind closed<br />

I still have tomorrow, I can wait that long,<br />

I don't have to say another word,<br />

I'll run out of breath before long...<br />

I have heard the angels speak, crawling on all fours,<br />

I don't listen to myself, I can't hear me anymore,<br />

I have seen the darkened skies crashing to the floor,<br />

I don't look much to myself, I can't stand it anymore...
