Marc And The Mambas - My Former Self lyrics

Remember me I was the boy with the angel's eyes And the blush in surprise When you hold my hand in full view Now I'm so wrecked that my eyes bleed Watch me recede Nails curl back From the quick as they Curl with my lips Standing limp in the pool of the light So callous and cruel Bones are piercing me through And the shadow of you Is the shadow of my former self A quick recollection and smile for old times Sometimes I feel like I'm being unkind Skin-tight yet sallow Saddened by the shallow Reaching for the glow At the end of the tunnel Somewhere up the ladder stands I shout as the car glides Over the kerb to the wall And the hiss of the steam is the siren Drawing me onto the rocks Always as ever in no man's land With my driver slumped over my wheel
