The Figurehead (The Cure cover) Lyrics


Sharp and open

Leave me alone

And sleeping less every night

As the days become heavier and weighted

Waiting

In the cold light

A noise

A scream tears my clothes as the tourniquet tightens

I feel alive again

And dust on the lips of a vision of hell

I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year

A hundred other words blind me with impurity

Like an old twisted man in the throes of pain

There is no tomorrow

Please let me sleep

As I slip into darkness

Life means nothing

I mean nothing

I mean nothing

I can lose myself in apathy in the depths of despair

All the time

Lose me in the dark

Please do it right

Run into the night

I will lose myself tomorrow

Crimson pain

My heart explodes

My memory in a fire

And someone will listen

At least for a short while...

I can never say no to anyone but you

Too many secrets

Too many lies

Writhing with hatred

Too many secrets

Please make it good tonight...

But the same image haunts me

In sequence

In despair of time

I will never be clean again

I search my eyes

Pressed my stained face

I will never be clean again

Search my eyes

Press my stained face

I will never be clean again

I will never be clean again
