Watching Yourself Slowly Disappear - Mystery Jets

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
