Bad Valence

[Verse 1]
I took the long fall down from a phrase I never meant
It grabbed me by the throat and choked me in my bed
Two branches close together to blacken out the streets
These nights are never-ending fragments of a dream

[Verse 2]
I'll take a loan out on a sense of self-esteem
Evict you from my head 'cause I'm done with your tenancy
Like winter ghosts I am the floorboards where you creep
What's yours was mine, it ain't fine when I'm dying for some sleep

[Chorus]
No help from the West!
I'm stuck in these Boschian scenes
I've died with the best
And I still don't know what it all means

[Verse 3]
I took the long fall down from a phrase I never meant
It stole the oxygen and choked me in my bed
Creature in the forest must have socialised with trees
'Cause I swear that it's the roots you left that pinch inside of me

[Chorus]
No help from the West!
I'm stuck in these Boschian scenes
I've died with the best
And I still don't know what it all means

[Bridge]
I said 'I am the voice of God!' - at least, that's what I intended
'I am the voice of God!' - you should have just pretended
A little black sheep staring down two rows of pointed teeth
Just sleeping in the sea when something caught ahold of me
Don't you ever get that sinking feeling?
