lyrics

Every single book has got an ending,
Even if you feel you've lost the plot.
Live on your knees or die upstanding,
These are the choices that we've got.

We're all
Bound up by words
And lost in rhyme.
By writing it down
Am I wasting all my time?
Feel like I'm wasting all my time.

Every single person's got a history
Even if it's one that you deny.
The scheme of things might be a mystery
But there's no excuse to live in...
There's no excuse to live in lies.

Bound up by words
And lost in rhyme.
By writing it down
Am I wasting all my time?
Feel like I'm wasting all my time.

Feel like I'm pissing in the wind
But I won't give in.
