Personality Lyrics by Peter Hammill

Everyone You Hold

1997

[Verse 1]
Not the same
We are changed and we are changing still;
Yeah, I've been waiting for the beans to spill
If the truth be told all the plots will unfold:
We've as many lives as we have friends or acquaintances
We're all only fractions of a whole

[Verse 2]
Self-belief
Glues together personality;
Well-accomplished in all vanity
In a life-long dream the consciousnesses stream
Through as many lives as this: all the voices in our heads

[Chorus]
My brother's keeper
Under no lock or key
Will you always look out for me?

[Bridge]
I don't remember
I don't remember, I don't remember
I don't remember the names
The essential's familiar (I don't...), the personality's under change...

[Chorus]
My brother's keeper
Look out for me

[Verse 3]
Through your eyes
I can see reflections of my own
I feel I'm losing sight of all I've known
And I'm spiralling down, in the gene pool drowned...
Truth is buried deep and just as well:
We've as many lives as lies we tell
All the self-taught fragments of fractured personalities

[Outro]
I don't remember your name
I don't remember, I don't remember
I don't remember your name
I don't remember your name
I don't remember, I don't remember
I don't remember your name
I don't remember your name
I don't remember your name
