A Century Ends lyrics
Song information
Artist: David Gray Album: A Century Ends
Lyrics
Cast your eyes into the distance Try to focus on it all Find a spirit of resistance Instead of pride before the fall Forge some opposition From disparate strands It ain't the prettiest position As a century ends
Unstable situation Faces made of wax Streams of melting glass (live version: 'mutual masturbation') Sheets of butchered facts The roar of the machine Hooded hearts and jewelled hands And anger spilling out like gasoline As a century ends
Everything I seen, everything that I heard Ain't even the tip of the iceberg Fire down memory lane So pass me my rose tinted glasses again
Through a fog of contradiction Out to the lake of tears See society admiring its own reflection Chase a light that shines and disappears Careful what you say 'cos reality offends Just sit back and let your soul decay As a century ends
And its easy to get weary As you fight to get it done 'Gainst a popular theory That it's over 'fore it's even begun Strain the limit of compassion Tend a wound that never mends And honesty still out of fashion As a century ends
