lyrics

Throw away all expectations, of course you feel nothing at all
Immune to what conquers me every time, and soon I'll be taking the fall
But who am I to ask for something more?

Just do what you can, if only for the night.
Who knows where it's going, but for now it just feels right.

Head back, eyes forward, mouth zipped tightly shut,
You do what you know is for the best
With so much of me so dormant and repressed,
No wonder my head's such a mess
We're well aware of what could happen next
