Lyrics Watching Yourself Slowly Disappear - Mystery Jets

Watching Yourself Slowly Disappear

We’re born and we’re raised
To stand up tall and straight
Then torn and reshaped
At the people’s gains
Oh to be a real man
Hangs heavy in your hands
But you keep quiet, do the best you can
To prove it to yourself, then everyone else
When it seems like the only direction is down
New shelter from the shame
So you sit and drink away the pain
To reach you cannot place a name
So you shoulder all the blame again and again
Onto yourself, this hollow shell
This cold and wicked, cruel and wretched hell
That you found but don’t make a sound
Now it seems like the only direction is down
Hey you’re upon the edge
Where the bond breaks are beckoning
The wind whips around your head
But the silence is deafening
If you call out, if you call out
If you call out we’ll be here
And you can’t help, and you can’t help
And you can’t help the feeling when you’re
Watching yourself slowly disappear
And you can’t help the feeling
You’re watching yourself slowly disappear
Hey you’re upon the edge
Where the bond breaks are beckoning
The wind whips around your head
But the silence is deafening
If you call out, if you call out
If you call out we’ll be here
And you can’t help, and you can’t help
And you can’t help the feeling when you’re
Watching yourself slowly disappear
Watching yourself slowly disappear
And you can’t help the feeling
You’re watching yourself, watching yourself
Watching yourself slowly disappear
