Noone's Gonna Save Me

I've been selling myself short
ignoring the words of our good Lord
I have been slumming it for years
now every day i wear this bitter sneer

But I'm done with all you poor, who were never taught to think or read fuck all
who live their lives from A to B, and to their depths been dragging me.

I really thought I d make it and live the life
now I m walking with the boring thru the streets of Scummyside.
I could have been an artist or worked a sweat to feed the poor
or lived in foreign lands white sands just outside my door.
now i m stuck in mediocre, in this half-light in St Paul's
the truth was once a whisper that never became a roar

I tried to write my story, God I'd hoped they'd let me in
my mind wont let me focus whilst my heart feels everything
I looked around for answers, from without: girls drugs and DRINK
but no one's gonna save me it's true REAL CHANGE COMES FROM WITHIN.

The truth has many enemies, the lie has many friends,
I've been dancing with these devils,:Ego, Lust and Selfishness;
There's nothing else I'll  keep on hoping, keep on wanting, knocking doors
But it s the hope that kills you I was told, that keeps you coming back for more .

The truth has many enemies, the lie has many friends,
I've been dancing with these devils, Ego, Lust and selfishness;
Looks like I ll  keep on hoping, keep on wanting, knocking doors
But it s the hope that kills you I was told, that keeps you coming back for more .
