lyrics

Your shoes do seem a little big for you
And I know your words will get misconstrued
But now you're slipping on your words
And it cuts so deep to hear you curse
In a different language, in a different tone
The way you let little things get overblown
Is a tidal wave waiting within
Asking: "Are you playing to avoid losing, or are you playing to win?
"Are you playing to avoid losing, or are you playing to win?"

Oh, what a difficult sight you must be
To the men drawn in by your beliefs
And a charming set of rotten teeth
That would be more suited to a shop in Leith
I wonder if a move has proved it success
When the dress you wear gets you no notice
Leaves lungs longing for an asthma attack
And blends you in 'til the blood flows from your back
Blends you in 'til the blood flows from your back

Now I hear you're exempt from society
After getting yourself dosed up on Preconceive
Now I work to music up above my head
Leaving rumours of a miscarriage left unsaid
But part of me will miss those jagged rocks
And a heart that was born from an Eastern Bloc
But I won't get eaten up by despair
Cause like you I didn't come here to care
Cause like you I didn't come here to care
