[00:14.34]You built it up brick by brick
[00:19.45]Put your heart into this baseless myth
[00:25.10]Nurtured it like a child
[00:29.95]And dressed its wounds when it ran wild
[00:35.12]You stopped to fix your face
[00:40.28]Someone else stepped in and took your place
[00:45.48]Now everything you once knew
[00:50.75]Is running in circles around you
[00:56.07]A car door slamming in your road
[01:01.07]It jolts you like a kick inside
[01:06.43]A year old message on your phone
[01:11.60]That catches you when you can’t hide
[01:15.39]I see you in the service station sign
[01:20.70]I see you in the supermarket line
[01:25.87]I see you silhouetted on a wall
[01:31.03]But I don’t see myself there at all
[01:40.13]This vessel of Balsa wood
[01:45.40]Is the fag end tail of amoeba-hood
[01:50.70]The busying cast confer
[01:55.76]And get their taste of the drama
[02:01.14]You stare through mindless daytime shows
[02:06.31]And curse yourself for growing old
[02:11.57]The sterile scent of shaving foam
[02:16.64]Reminds you of another world
[02:20.58]I see you in the roofless sombre sky
[02:25.83]I see you when the lovers stop outside
[02:31.05]I see you silhouetted on a wall
[02:36.25]But I don’t see myself there at all
[02:41.41]I see you in the sweetness of our child
[02:46.68]I see you in the supermarket aisle
[02:51.68]I see you when I’m kneeling on the floor
[02:56.88]But I can’t see myself anymore
[03:29.46]Hard times got the upper hand
[03:34.89]Stole our feeble plans
[03:39.74]Your faces, shot me, spin me round
[03:45.26]But I won’t lie down
[03:50.22]Hard times shake me to the bone
[03:55.78]Face bruised, bloody nose
[04:00.59]Shell shocked, crawling on the ground
[04:06.04]Still I won’t lie down
[04:18.24]No I won’t lie down
[04:28.51]No I won’t lie down
[04:39.14]I won’t lie down
