This Man Can Break

from A New Kind Of Loneliness by Michael Weston King

/

lyrics

These day’s I am asleep
more than I’m awake
My eyes stay closed
the morning wont break
Once there was danger
but now there’s nothing at stake

There’s nothing to go out for,
nothing to go out for
Nothing to celebrate
There’s nothing to go out for,
nothing to go out for
When did this party turn into a wake

This man can break
This man can break
This man can break so easily

Christmas came and went,
like a giro cashed and spent
Before we even knew it was with us
And on New years darkened day,
as millions knelt to pray,
For those on the rim of disaster
We stood plastered,
casting shadows over groaning tables
Mixing our drinks as if we were not able
we dined
we whined

There’s nothing to go out for, nothing to go out for
Nothing to celebrate
There’s nothing to go out for, nothing to go out for
Once there was pity but now only hate

This man can break
This man can break
This man can break so easily

I’m losing my way, I’m losing it all
The phone never rings, no one ever calls
The hall echo’s empty there is nothing but space............. (end)
