Break Lyrics by Y-O-U (band)

Flashlights

2007

[Verse 1]
He's tired of distractions and meaningless noise
Tired of answering questions about the methods he employs
Tired of rebels without a cause and the Man they annoy
When there's slackers in the basement
And rejects down the hall
He's thinking, "I need a break from it all."
[Verse 2]
She's overworked, and she's underpaid
There's a line 'round the corner to see the progress that she made
She never tried to be different, just worked out that way
When there's angels in her stairwell
And ghosts living in her walls
She's thinking, "I need a break from it all."
[Chorus]
It shouldn't feel like such a crime
To wish for a more simple time
But there's angels in her stairwell
And ghosts living in her walls
She's thinking, "I need a break from it all"
[Verse 3]
There's bad news in the papers, and every word of it's true
Bills falling out the mailbox, every one's overdue
Every stranger has a crisis, there's only so much you can do
When you're painted in the corner
With your back against the wall
You're thinking, "I need a break from it--
[Verse 4]
All my enemies are lovers, all my messages are missed
I need to go undercover, pretend I don't exist
But I'm painted in this corner
And my back's against the wall
And I need a break from it all."
[Chorus]
It shouldn't feel like such a crime
To wish for a more simple time
But I'm painted in this corner
And my back's against this wall
And I need a break from it all
[Outro]
I'm painted in the corner
With my back against the wall
And I need a break
