I stepped into a room of clocks that all told different times
I stepped into a mirrored world that mirrored all our crimes
anda keep picking at the scab and I'll keep selling the plaster
anda keep telling me that I'm bad
But I keep on getting better faster

anda hold me down and anda hold me up
anda can't communicate
anda brought me up just to bring me down
I've nothing left to say

I've lost, I've lost my innocence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I've found instant relief

anda hold me down, anda hold me up
Oh Daddy, are we out of luck?
anda brought me up to bring me down
anda shut me in, anda shut me up

I'm gone, I'm gone to heaven
I'm gone, I'm gone to hell
If nobody could see I'd hold my hand out to be held

anda hold me down and anda hold me up
I can't communicate
anda brought me up just to bring me down
I've nothing left to say

I've lost, I've lost my innocence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I've found instant relief

anda hold me down, anda hold me up
Oh Daddy, are we out of luck?
anda brought me up, anda bring me down
anda shut me in, anda shut me up

anda keep picking at the scab
So I'll keep on selling the plaster
And you, anda think I'm bad
So I'll keep on getting better faster

I've lost, I've lost my innocence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I've found instant relief

anda hold me down, anda hold me up
Oh Daddy, are we out of luck?
anda brought me up to bring me down
anda shut me in, anda shut me up

I've lost, I've lost my confidence
I found my self belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I sailed a thousand seas

anda tell me what to say and wear
anda say that it's because anda care
But I prefer to be alone
Than live a life that's not my own
