Chimera’s Wreck (Live) Lyrics by Porcupine Tree

Closure/Continuation. Live.

2023

A coat of arms is all we are
The slow decay, a dying star
A sinkhole for the crawling of the hours

Afraid to be what I should be
The sum of all, of new and old
Experience has made me none the wiser

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die, oh

Chimera's wreck around my neck
To start again, to dream again
To fix the things that cursed me from the start

My father smiles, at me, the child
Getting tired, losing drive
Thе clarity that age has brought to me

A new town in thе 60s
Out of concrete a design made for tomorrow
And even when the rain comes
We can still find a future in tomorrow

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die

These the things I did with my gifts
This the way I loved and I lived
These the things I did with my gifts
This the way I loved and I lived

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die

Wash up on the shore
Don't need you no more
Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck
Wash up on the shore
Don't need you no more
Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck
Wash up on the shore
Don't need you no more
Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck
