Dedicated to Sam Powell 1982-2001
"Go lightly down your darkened way."
In order to gain, I'm taking away
the only thing that is mine
I have nothing to lose,
Maybe I'll win this time.
I know there's still colour
But I only see with monochrome eyes
I prefer those black and white scenes, because
Everybody lies
I can't take it today, I can't take it today
I can't take it today, But I can take it away....
I'm hanging hope on the end of a rope,
I'm drunk, and the words of a boy
Still ring in my ears, after so many years,
What else is there to destroy
I can't take it today, I can't take it today
I can't take it today, But I can take it away....
I'm never looking back, there's nothing to subtract.
