Bullet for Narcissus - Pet Shop Boys

It's gonna break me, but that doesn't matter Another crack, watch me shatter, oh In a world where I don't belong Like a stranger, I'm moving on To a place where I wanted to be And call it home Wanna feel like I did before Feel the love, feel the pain and more But the weight keeps burying me And I feel so cold Opening wounds, breaking the bones Giving a life for selling a soul It's gonna break me, but that doesn't matter Another crack, watch me shatter I don't exist, I was never alive But now I know I'm ready to die In a world where I don't belong Like a wanderer, a vagabond Will my feet keep carrying me And bring me home? Will I breathe like I did before? Feel the hate but with no remorse? But the cracks still seem to appear And I can't control Cutting the nerves, sever the veins Under the weight, I'm taking the strain It's gonna break me, but that doesn't matter Another crack, watch me shatter I don't exist, I was never alive But now I know I'm ready to die I don't exist, I was never alive It's gonna break me, but that doesn't matter Another crack, watch me shatter I don't exist, I was never alive But now I know I'm ready to die I don't exist, I was never alive But now I know I'm ready to die In a world where I don't belong Like a stranger, I'm moving on To a place where I wanted to be And call it home I don't exist, I was never alive But now I know I'm ready to die I don't exist, I was never alive It's gonna break me, but that doesn't matter Another crack, watch me shatter, oh

Let the madness begin Living with snakes, feeding the hate, kill or betrayal Shedding the skin, bitter within, cower with shame Venomous tongue back in the lungs, kissing the pain Kissing the pain, with constant pushing, provoking reactions Bring out the knives to cut and divide Another scar for memories Bring out the knives to cut and divide Let 'em breathe, watch 'em burn in the fire Digging a hole, bury the trust, lay it to rest Swallow the dirt, breathe in the dust, savour the taste Hammer the nails, nothing to say, walking away Walking away, from constant screaming, provoking this madness Bring out the knives to cut and divide Another scar for memories Bring out the knives to cut and divide Let 'em breathe, watch 'em burn in the fire Bring out the knives to cut and divide Another scar for memories Bring out the knives to cut and divide Let 'em breathe, watch 'em burn in the fire You keep on digging your own graves And you just focus on the pain Oh! So keep on digging your own graves I see the panic, it's sickening You're not a saint, not a slave Now just focus on the pain I hear the voices, they're calling To sever, forever, insanity You're not a saint, you're a slave Breaking apart, torn at the seams, sanity fails Tread by the edge, pushed into hell, never again Never again, constant pushing, provoking reactions Bring out the knives to cut and divide Another scar for memories Bring out the knives to cut and divide Let 'em breathe, watch 'em burn in the fire Bring out the knives to cut and divide Another scar for memories Bring out the knives to cut and divide Let 'em breathe, let 'em burn Bring out the knives Just swallow the dirt And breathe in the dust Now savour the days No walking away No walking away Bring out the knives

No way out! Why can't I run? And escape from myself? Why the fuck are these thoughts in my head? No way out! No way-! No way-!

My head is a circus It's all just too much I guess my best was not good enough And something is certain I miss you around And all that I want is to be with you You kept me breathing under the water When everyone else left me to drown You were the light that shone through the darkness Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around I know I'm not perfect I let you down I guess that I'm paying the price for it now You kept me breathing under the water When everyone else left me to drown You were the light that shone through the darkness Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around I don't know how we got here But I know I don't belong I don't know how we got here Or why I'm holding on You kept me breathing under the water When everyone else left me to drown You were the light that shone through the darkness Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around You kept me breathing under the water When everyone else left me to drown You were the light that shone through the darkness Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around

Weakness of our bodies Can't make us climb these walls Will we break the awful patterns Before the end is here I'm in need of something more I'm stuck in a shallow grave I've been here before So Lord lend me your hand I've been here before In this endless cycle I've fallen once again And with this empty feeling I seek forgiveness And await the answer Action without movement Await the answer Desire without heart There are voices in our heads The weakness of our bodies Can make us climb these walls Why is it so hard to listen to the Voice inside our heads It feels so close Yet so far away Even the wind and waves obey Him What's there to fear Give us strength to overcome this downfall To stand to our feet And break these awful patterns Before the end is here Why is it so hard to hear your voice When you are right here Why is it so hard to hear your voice Right now

There is a better fight A cause close to my heart The struggle against loneliness That's tearing you apart Where are you gonna run to now from loneliness? (Loneliness) Who are you gonna turn to out of loneliness? (Loneliness) Like Ringo walking by the canal Downcast and alone You're taking time to play that part A man who skims a stone Where are you gonna run to now from loneliness? (Loneliness) Who are you gonna turn to out of loneliness? (Loneliness) When are you gonna not say no and make the answer yes? Who is here to help you out? Tell me, can't you guess? (Loneliness) (Loneliness) Wherever you go, you take yourself with you There's nowhere you can hide From the loneliness that's haunting your life The sense of wounded pride Everybody needs time to think Nobody can live without love Who you gonna run to now from loneliness? (Loneliness) Who could come and help you out? Oh, can't you guess? (Loneliness) When you gonna not say no and make the answer yes? Who is here to help you turn your back on loneliness? (Loneliness) (Loneliness)

Farewell to the mountains Goodbye to the trees So long to the ski slopes Join the absentees Salzburg is a cradle Rocking you no more Memory the only thing That's still worth living for Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Books are in their boxes Manuscripts are packed A dealer expressed interest So paintings were dispatched The ladies from the village Say tearful goodbyes The gardener locks the greenhouse Suspicion in his eyes Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen The world before the war Exquisite in your dreams Still bore the angry children Who only saw extremes You never saw it coming What was it they lacked? The civilised rejected Modernity attacked Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Your old friend Freud has helped you Illuminate the hate Find motive in desire But now it's much too late The train is on the platform The knife is in your back Your suitcases are sitting On the luggage rack Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen
