Keane - Myth Lyrics
You built it up brick by brickPut your heart into this baseless mythNurtured it like a childAnd dressed its wounds when it ran wildYou stopped to fix your faceSomeone else stepped in and took your placeNow everything you once knewIs running circles around youA car door slamming in your roadIt jolts you like a kick insideA year old message on your phoneThat catches you when you can’t hideI see you in the service station signI see you in the supermarket lineI see you silhouetted on a wallBut I don’t see myself there at allThis vessel of Balsa woodIs the fag end tail of amoeba-hoodThe busying cast conferAnd get their taste of the dramaYou stare through mindless daytime showsAnd curse yourself for growing oldThe sterile scent of shaving foamReminds you of another worldI see you in the roofless sombre skyI see you when the lovers stop outsideI see you silhouetted on a wallBut I don’t see myself there at allI see you in the sweetness of our childI see you in the supermarket aisleI see you when I’m kneeling on the floorBut I can’t see myself anymoreHard times got the upper handStole our feeble plansThe faces, shot me, spin me roundBut I won’t lie downHard times shake me to the boneFace bruised, bloody noseShell shocked, crawling on the groundStill I won’t lie downNo I won’t lie downNo I won’t lie downI won’t lie down
