[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Richard Wright]
From morning to night, I stayed out of sight
Didn’t recognise I’d become—no more than alive
I’d barely survive—in a word, overrun
[Chorus: Richard Wright, Sam Brown, Durga McBroom & Carol Kenyon]
Won’t hear a sound(He’s curled into the corner)
From my mouth(But still the screen is flickering)
I’ve spent too long(With an endless stream of garbage to)
On the inside out(…curse the place)
My skin is cold (In a sea of random images)
To the human touch (The self-destructing animal)
This bleeding heart’s (Waiting for the waves to break)
Not beating much
[Verse 2: Richard Wright]
I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don’t even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light, I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile
[Bridge: Richard Wright]
I’m creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I’m wearing the inside out
[Verse 1: Richard Wright]
From morning to night, I stayed out of sight
Didn’t recognise I’d become—no more than alive
I’d barely survive—in a word, overrun
[Chorus: Richard Wright, Sam Brown, Durga McBroom & Carol Kenyon]
Won’t hear a sound(He’s curled into the corner)
From my mouth(But still the screen is flickering)
I’ve spent too long(With an endless stream of garbage to)
On the inside out(…curse the place)
My skin is cold (In a sea of random images)
To the human touch (The self-destructing animal)
This bleeding heart’s (Waiting for the waves to break)
Not beating much
[Verse 2: Richard Wright]
I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don’t even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light, I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile
[Bridge: Richard Wright]
I’m creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I’m wearing the inside out
