(Simon Napier Bell)
|
Shapes in my mind,
|
My eyes are closed.
|
The colours cry,
|
My brain explodes.
|
My body shrinks into my head,
|
I must have help or I'll be dead.
|
|
Please!
|
|
You've got to make be break this spell.
|
You've got to give me all your help.
|
You've got to stop my spinning brain.
|
You've got to be with me again.
|
|
I see your face,
|
I see your smile,
|
I see the eyes that used to cry.
|
I see the lips I used to kiss,
|
I can't forget.
|
I see you standing all alone,
|
I see the things that I did wrong.
|
I see I didn't try enough,
|
To give you love.
|
|
The love you gave,
|
And left behind,
|
Has dropped and burned inside my mind.
|
I can't see out,
|
I can't see in,
|
I know I'm lost, I can't explain,
|
The pain I felt is here again.
|
I've nothing left,
|
Is this the end?
|
|
I see your face,
|
I see your smile,
|
I see the eyes that used to cry.
|
I see the lips I used to kiss,
|
I can't forget.
|
I see you standing all alone,
|
I see the things that I did wrong.
|
I see I didn't try enough,
|
To give you love.
