HUMAN WRECKAGE
By FISH SWIM NAKED
SEE THEIR FACES SO JADED, WITH THE TORTURE THEY HAVE SEEN
I?M SPIRALLING FURTHER & FURTHER, INTO A WORTHLESS HUMAN BEING
MY MOUTH SPITS OUT THIS POISON, THERE?S BILE IN EVERY WORD
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF AFFECTION, HOW CAN LOVE BE SO ABSURD
AND I HOPE, I HOPE YOU SLEEP SAFE IN YOUR SINGLE BED TONIGHT
I KNOW I?LL BE SOLO IN MY TORTURED HEAD TONIGHT
CHORUS
?COS ALL I?VE GOT NOW, IS THE HUMAN WRECKAGE I LEFT BEHIND
AND WHEN MY TIME?S OUT, HOW WILL I EVER FORGET THIS SIGHT
?COS ALL I?VE GOT NOW, IS THE HUMAN WRECKAGE IN MY MIND
AND WHEN MY LIFE?S OUT, I?M GONNA? WISH I COULD CHANGE THIS NIGHT
EVERY MINUTE IS LABOURED, EVERY HOUR IS SO OBSCENE
EVEN THE TENDEREST MOMENT CAN TURN INTO THIS SCENE
YET THERE?S LOVE IN THEIR FACES, THEY DON?T KNOW WHAT?S WRONG OR RIGHT
THEIR LOVE IS NON-CONDITIONAL, AS THE SCREAMS CUT THROUGH THE NIGHT
AND I HOPE, I HOPE YOU SLEEP SAFE IN YOUR PEACEFUL BED TONIGHT
I KNOW I?LL BE RESTLESS IN MY TORTURED HEAD TONIGHT
REPEAT CHORUS
AND I HOPE, I HOPE YOU SLEEP SAFE IN YOUR QUIET BED TONIGHT
I KNOW I?LL BE RESTLESS IN THE CRUEL MORNING LIGHT.
REPEAT CHORUS
