Normandy Way Lyrics

I have built an effigy so tall and proud and mighty

With empty eyes that will not see the colour bleeding through

With empty eyes that hide the truth in deepest deep behind them

And anyone who glances twice won't blame a fool's belief in a

Screen of smoke to house ambition long since abandoned

And anyone who glances twice will see right through the film of false sincerity

Crippled by this anxiety

So, leave me here to

Decorate a shell in all my flaws and failure

And feed upon sweet hermitude and a long-forgotten past

For which I can't repent in this lifetime alone

Please, don't forget me

Forget me, masquerading 'round in borrowed feathers

How could it ever feel so lonely?

Brighten the way that guides me

That guides me back to all held dear

While level minded

Never have I questioned why

What have I been doing this whole time?

If I play the part

Where I don't let my demons take me

Maybe I could find my way out

And finally see the light

Please, don't forget me

Forget me, masquerading 'round in borrowed feathers

How could it ever feel so lonely?

Brighten the way that guides me

That guides me back to all held dear

While level minded

Never have I questioned why

What have I been doing this whole time?
