The Power Lyrics by Nimmo

The Power

0

[Verse 1]
Night falls in the distance
Time loses resistance
And I don't know how
I’ll ever feel well again
Walls changing these eyelids
Tears flow to my iris
And I don't know how
I'll ever feel well again

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I cheat one more night in their eyes?
I can’t see past my only disguise

[Chorus]
I don't belong to you
I don't belong to my own desires
Nothing I feel is true
Getaway driver take me tonight
'Cause even when I think about it
Even when I think
Even when I dream about it
I'm dreaming I don't belong to you
I don't belong
I don't belong

[Verse 2]
Blindfolded by your lens
You drove me from my best friends
And I don’t know how
I’ll ever find my way home
Dropped off in the West End
Straight talking and desperate
Well I don't know how
I’ll ever feel well again

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I cheat one more night in their eyes?
I can't see past my only disguise

[Chorus]
I don't belong to you
I don't belong to my own desires
Nothing I feel is true
Getaway driver take me tonight
To somewhere I can think without you
Somewhere I can sleep
Somewhere I’m no longer dreaming
I don't belong to you
I don't belong
I don't belong

[Bridge]
My back's in pain
I'm paid in vain
Like 8.50 an hour
Standing at the counter
Giving straight girls my advice on life
And I'm selling cheap a portion
Of my dignity because boredom
Well it drives my mind
To the weakest kind
Of a coyness built for the boardroom
I had dreams when I was 16
Yeah, my best friend was Morrissey
Our politics, they never aligned
A harsh breath on my warm mind
You woke each and every last fight
I'm reminded of the power
The power, the power, the power

[Chorus]
I don't belong to you
I don't belong to my own desires
Nothing I feel is true (I don't belong to you)
Getaway driver take me tonight
To somewhere I can think without you
Somewhere I can sleep
Somewhere I'm no longer dreaming
I don't belong to you (I don't belong to you)
I don't belong
I don't belong

[Outro]
To somewhere I can think without you
Somewhere I can sleep
Somewhere I'm no longer dreaming
To somewhere I can think without you
Somewhere I can sleep
Somewhere I'm no longer dreaming
To somewhere I can think without you
Somewhere I can sleep
Somewhere I'm no longer dreaming
That's the power
That's my power
