LOSING
(S.Miller/K.Drever/E.Burton - PRS/MCPS)
A child of good fortune lost in his time
Mind on the job
A dragonfly casket, some pins and a cork board
And a message to God
Through all of my lifetime the walls kept on falling
The message was clear
But now that I’m ageing our memories are fading
Only left with our fears
I was someone who was losing
Someone who was losing; I was left behind
I was someone who was losing
Someone who was losing a piece of my mind
No more than a shadow held in the lamplight
A stranger in full view
The heart of the city rolled to a standstill
In memory of you
I can still feel it now as white clouds come down
Row after row
Backs to the nightlife, I reach out for tomorrow
A stranger no more
I was someone who was losing
Someone who was losing; I was left behind
I was someone who was losing
Someone who was losing a piece of my mind
Phrenology’s calling,
To instincts that we had before
An inbuilt resistance,
To those who are wounded to the core
The masks are all falling
The fiction we've written unbound
A storm of our creation
Sends it all crashing to the ground
