Lyrics The Man You Think I Am - 1984

The Man You Think I Am

There’s a hole in the map I hold
Sucking up my paths
This life I have
It dives so well in the night
Ch-ch-chew the gum and wait
Till the flavour restarts
I’m in waking state
The real is fake in your mouth
Oh while you change I stay the same and doubt
Try to build or try to flee the house
I wanna mend but I won’t command your eyes
The trust is out, you watch me like a tender past
And the man you think I am, he’s not anymore
I slowly slide off not to face up to the ghosts
Ch-ch-chained to a path I will never control
Day after day disappears my name of your thoughts
I’ll get down the ladder, down the ladder
Knife the leather, knife the leather
And my heart is heavy, my heart is heavy
My heart now sings, but my heart now sinks
Go home, I will never go home, I will never go home
I will never go home, I will never go home
This silence I will shout in your ears
Is the last breath I got, last tongue ‘fore I vanish for real
Will it ever change
Is there any chance
That I ever get out?
Go home, I will never go home, I will never go home
I will never go home, I will never go home
This is the last breath I got
