"Violence To The Spirit" lyrics

Well, I hate to dampen the mood
But someone's gotta start telling the truth
Seems that I've been aimlessly
Hanging out with bad company
I surrender to myself
'Cause if not me, well, who the hell else?
I struggle to connect with
Almost everyone I've ever met

Oh, I gotta step up just a little more
'Cause I know that everybody's keeping score
But I'm just second guessing
Too shy, too self-obsessed to reconcile
Keep 'em round but never let them know
Just how deep the trouble and your worries go
And I know that it's depressing
Too far gone, too sickening to explain
Took a while just to realise
That there's a thousand other reasons why
One of these days it's really gonna be goodbye

All these things that I do cause temporary shame
Violence to the spirit
Can't dance this fear away
Honestly, I know you're understanding
So understand me
You know I'm understanding
But one of these days it's really gonna be goodbye

It's true I'm falling apart
Feels like I've been kicked out of a car
Driving at one hundred miles an hour
Without a thing left to devour

Oh, I gotta step up just a little more
'Cause I know that everybody's keeping score
But I'm just second guessing
Too shy, too self-obsessed to reconcile
Keep 'em round but never let them know
Just how deep the trouble and your worries go
And I know that it's depressing
Too far gone, too sickening to explain
Took a while just to realise
That there's a thousand other reasons why
One of these days it's really gonna be goodbye

All these things that I do cause temporary shame
Violence to the spirit
Can't dance this fear away
Honestly, I know you're understanding
So understand me
You know I'm understanding
But one of these days it's really gonna be goodbye

All these things that I do cause temporary shame
Violence to the spirit
Can't dance this fear away
Honestly, I know you're understanding
So understand me
You know I'm understanding
But one of these days it's really gonna be goodbye
