Verse 1

I write this alone on my bed; I've poisoned every room in the house.

The place is quiet and so a-lone,

Pretend there's something worth waiting for.

There's nothing nice in my head; the adult world took it all a-way.

I wake up with same spit in my mouth; I cannot tell if it's real, or not.

Chorus 1

I try and walk in a straight line.

An imi-tation of digni-ty.

From despair to where?

From despair to where?

Interlude

Verse 2

Out-side open mouthed crowds, pass each other, as if they're drugged.

Down pale corridors of rou-tine, where life falls una-toned.

The weak kick like straw, 'till the world means less and less.

Words are never e-nough; just cheap tarnished glit-ter.

Chorus 2

I try and walk in a straight line.

An imi-tation of digni-ty.

From despair to where?

From despair to...

Bridge 1

Where...

Chorus 3

A cripple walks in a straight line.

An imi-tation of digni-ty.

From despair to where?

From despair to where?
