What You Wanted

The Verve Pipe

Through the remains I have been sorting 
Seeking refuge underneath flourescent skies 
An apocalypse of pity 
I know she is safe and building her disguise 

Bracing for the scavengers 
Who reign upon my humble domain 
Fills my face with anger 
Into permanent distortion 

I'm ugly getting over you 
It's what you wanted 
You're gorgeous running out of me 
It's what you wanted 
I'm ugly getting over you 
I know that you're more beautiful now 

Everday's survival lesson 
Brings another scarring session to sustain 
I anticipate a lesion 
It's a chemical reaction to my pain 

7,000 weathered faces 
Hide my beautiful and buried smile 
Sleeping seems to be the greatest medication 

I'm switching channels, silly sitcoms are a metronome 
One beat about half an hour 
I will shun the radio 
Because I hear my life in every song 

Brushing off the bottle 
I become a connoisseur for a night 
Rake the dead grass from the bitter green 
That's growing wild
