God help me They say that I've lost touch with the world around me They say that I've been reading from The Daily And pasting my ideas around the country They tell me I don't need to read 'Cause I can feed from the videos they show me on my television screen Lord help me I try to breathe but I swear, these lungs are empty I try to speak but these words begin to choke me I try to sleep but these demons fight against me And so I pass my days in a haze Wishing I could relive the beginning and avoid every mistake I've ever made I lie in bed when the lights are out Consumed with all the fears that I carry round That I carry round Somebody Somebody dig me a hole that I can fall in Release this aching burden to worms Hear the echo ringing on Another lifetime bleeds in the heat We told him to be strong and to be silent So I'll take another lifetime please Now the question burns Ripping fingers through my hair Should I cut the rope Or kick my feet from off the chair I pray it won't take long Stop the voices in my ear I lie in bed when the lights are out Consumed with all the fears that I carry round That I carry round That I carry round That I carry round I lie in bed when the lights are out Consumed with all the fears that I carry round That I carry round (God help me) I lie in bed when the lights are out (They say that I've lost touch with the world around me They say that I've been reading from the daily) Consumed with all the fears that I carry round (And pasting my ideas around the country) That I carry round Now the question burns Ripping fingers through my hair Should I cut the rope Or kick my feet from off the chair I pray it won't take long Stop the voices in my ear I lie in bed when the lights are out
