What It Takes

from Pareidolia by Mutes

/

lyrics

I made a promise in the face of death
Never thought I’d have to live to fulfil it.
Fell in love with a stranger
I swear they know me better than my mirror’s image might.
It takes a lot to leave a world behind
And find yourself unrecognised.
I’ll learn to live with less
I’ll suffer this wantonness
My analgesic holiness
Some prayers are better left unsaid
It comes with the territory
That I know.
Sucked down if you stay
Spat out if you go
I never knew him that well
But he was far from alone.
But he pissed away ever chance he’d ever known.
This is what you get for putting your faith
In anyone’s skin but your own.
I’d rather be caught dead
Then forcing myself to live.
I’ll betray every sense that I’ve got
Before I find the sense to leave
And I’ll find myself
Unrecognised
