I Don't Live Here (Anymore) Lyrics

I'm moving on from vampires and vultures from the east

I don't care where I'm going, just away from them at least

I've been tossed around this battleground, backwards through the mud

Cos I would not force a discourse with a thing that sucks my blood

In my mind I moved out weeks ago, in my mind I shut the door

But this husk of skin is still within your roof, your walls, your floor

As my soul and spirit gone away my blood and guts remain

Is it insanity? Duality? I ask you once again...

I don't live here anymore, I can't give you anymore

I can't please you, can't appease you, can't forgive you anymore

We've been back and forth and oh, I tried to keep this thing afloat

I been through it, I can't do it. I don't live here anymore.

Am I here because I want to be? Does it bring me joy?

Or am I willingly fulfilling the ambition of a boy?

A boy I don't remember but his path I follow still

Should I turn on him? Abandon him? Or go in for the kill?

A ridiculous addiction that I'm struggling to ignore

A public crucifixion in a Tesco Superstore

As I sniff around for evidence to help me with my case

It's powder on a mirror, a reflection of my face

But I don't live here anymore, I can't give you anymore

I can't please you, can't appease you, can't forgive you anymore

We've been back and forth and oh, I tried to keep this thing afloat

I been through it, I can't do it. I don't live here anymore.

Frost descends but in the end it seems we tend to feel cleansed.

As time suspends.

We're on the brink and then we sink and so we drink, our glasses clink and then you wink

I start to think we must be linked

From you to me, some mystery, some guarantee, some prophesy that you and me

Can finally be in harmony

But I don't live here anymore, I can't give you anymore

I can't please you, can't appease you, can't forgive you anymore

We've been back and forth and oh, I tried to keep this thing afloat

I been through it, I can't do it. I don't live here anymore.

No I don't live here anymore, I can't give you anymore

I can't please you, can't appease you, can't forgive you anymore

We've been back and forth and oh, I tried to keep this thing afloat

I been through it, I can't do it. I don't live here anymore.
