False Dawn

Only lips in a smile
But they lay me down and I
Can't remember more than this
A simple sound and I

Catch your rain as it falls
And they you down and I
Feel engraved more than this
A simple word

And I'm feeling on top of the world
While the world is on top of me
Bearing down
Whilst I'm retaining
My sense of indignity
Kicking in
Firing me
Holding all my strength in

And I can say I'm sorry
I can say I'm proud
And I can breathe

I don't know
If I could live without her face
I don't know
If it all came down
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know...)
