Lyrics Contempt - Marc Almond

Contempt

I’m trying to wash the taste away
I’m trying to wash the taste away
Trying not to cry the night away
Trying not to cry the night away
I’m finding a bitter word to say
And I’m finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me Contempt
Every day it kills me Contempt
Every tear that blinds me Contempt
Building up inside me One kiss and the poison melts away
One smile and the poison melts away
I’m trying not to cry the nights away
I’m trying not to cry the nights away
I’m finding a bitter word to say
And I’m finding it easier every day
Contempt
Every day it fills me Contempt
Every day it kills me Contempt
Every tear that blinds me Contempt
Building up inside me You came crawling out the woodwork
Like some ghost from my past
With stories 'bout me That I’d long since forgot
Telling me tales of how big you are now
But I know you as nothing
As nothing you got
You’d split me wide open
And spill all my beans
Because you think
That I still think
