Full lyrics:
A SUDDEN FROST
A NUMBING PAIN
AND BOTH MY EYES BEGIN TO BLUR
A HEAVY HAND
A SILENT NOD
BUT I'M NOT LISTENING TO HER
THE CLOCK IS TICKING
SPINNING ECHOS IN MY BRAIN
CAN I LEAVE?
CAN I RE-ENTER?
COULD WE START OVER IT AGAIN?
YOU MIND THE GAP
YOU HOLD THE RAIL
HOPING SOMEHOW TO SURVIVE
YOU PLAY IT SAFE
YOU MAKE THE GRADE
AND PRAY YOU MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
BUT THIS MORNING I WAS
LIVING LIKE A KING
SO UNAWARE
OR EVEN CONSCIOUS
OF ALL THE TIME I'M WASTING
THIS STUFF HAPPENS
TO PEOPLE NOT LIKE ME
I HAVE READ IT IN THE PAPER
I HAVE WATCHED IT ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN
I'VE NO SCARS
I'M NOT BLEEDING
IS THERE A HEMORRHAGE UNSEEN?
AM I DEAD?
AM I ALIVE?
OR AM I SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN?
YOU PAY THE BILLS
YOU SAVE THE REST
STILL YOUR LIFE BECOMES A SIN
YOU RAISE A GLASS
TO HERE AND NOW
BUT DON’T LOOK BACK TO TAKE IT IN
WHERE'S THE HONEYMOON
YOU'RE PROMISED AT THE START?
HAVE I SKIPPED A COUPLE CHAPTERS?
DID I FALL OR FALL APART?
NOT ALIVE OR ALONE
NOT AWAY OR AT HOME
ON MY FEET
OUT THE DOOR
AM I STANDING?
AM FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR?
NOT ALIVE OR ALONE
NOT AWAY OR AT HOME
ON MY FEET
OUT THE DOOR
AM I STANDING?
AM FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR?
..CATCH ME I’M FALLING
‘CUS THIS ISN'T IN THE PAPER
IT AIN'T FEATURED ON THE NEWS
AS I COME ROUND FROM THIS NIGHTMARE
I WONT GIVEN, NO I REFUSE
BECAUSE BAD THINGS THEY HAPPEN
AND THEY'RE HAPPENING TO ME
I MAY CRACK AND I MAY SHATTER
BUT I'M NEVER LOSING ME
(INSTRUMENTAL)
I'VE NO SCARS
I'M NOT BLEEDING
IS THERE A HAEMORRHAGE UNSEEN?
AND I DEAD?
AM I ALIVE?
OR AM I SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN?
THIS STUFF HAPPENS
TO PEOPLE NOT LIKE ME
I'M STILL BREATHING
I'M NOT DEAD
NO I'M ALIVE?
BUT FEELING SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN?
