Dead Trees and Traffic Islands Manic Street Preachers

[Verse 1]
Paralysis through analysis
Yellow moral unclean decay
Silence begins to hurt me now
The sunshine it fades away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Syllables have now disappeared
How could this happen to me?
How could this happen to me?

[Chorus]
But now I feel so weak
Dead trees and traffic islands never meet
Is this, is this my defeat?
This purgatory for beginners
Dead trees and traffic islands

[Verse 2]
Tolerance slips away
Body shrugs and says hello once more
Paint the walls within my mind
Clandestine brain finished period

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Lips turn grey inside turns out
I show little defence
I show little defence
