lyrics

nerves and cells imprisoned
like mazes as the streets on
which you were raised in the head
in which you inhabited it all locked down
under clouds like he said, lent back
against the wall, your funeral my trial

take a swig and snarl over the lip
of the bottle, life behind the mask
teeth grinding like bars of cages
as rows and rows of houses
trap you warm in their embrace
never having known you

that’s why i hide within my head
in psychic defence
to stop the past from spilling out
as it’s my psychic defence
walking over pictures in chalk

i never did it without a reason
says the cop who takes backhanders
better living in my head
hidden in the dark i act as if beaten
i did it for the ones i never knew
and in my head i did everything right

that’s why i hide within my head
in psychic defence
to stop the past from spilling out
as it’s my psychic defence
walking over pictures of chalk
