Breakdown (BBC Friday Rock Show)

In this strange world we have to live in Protected by some, taken granted by all
Time honoured thoughts end disapproving
With all dominions ever ready to fall
You won’t beat the pack, that’s no revelation
Come snapping their jaws right on your heels
Making your way through all this confusion
The harder you try, the less it reveals
I know what happens the moment you turn out your light
And I know what happens, it happens to me every night
You start to breakdown, breakdown
You’re going to crucify yourself, you’re lost
When you get pushed around, pushed around
Another refugee to bear the cross
Stand up, fight back
Now every course, blighted by answers
Acutely profane, no help in this brawl
And from the mouths that never felt hunger
Comes no deliverance, just a timely withdraw
What of your thoughts, not yet discovered
Along with the fears, they both play their part
You’ll work it out then run for cover
The truth will arrive like a bolt through your heart
I know what happens the moment you turn out your light
And I know what happens, it happens to me every night
You start to breakdown, breakdown
You’re going to crucify yourself, you’re lost
When you get pushed around, pushed around
Another refugee to bear the cross
