This song was written in 2002 by Stateless, during the first sessions at the School of Technology Studios in Leeds. The demo was recorded way earlier, but was released on their website in January 2003, that was later featured on Collin Murray’s show on BBC Radio 1 in April 2003, along with “Prism” (...

[Iggy Pop intro: A wise old novelist once said that anybody could rig up their own border: just rent a cheap trailer, a portajohn, and a little bumper bar to go over the highway, and a guy in a funny suit to collect immigration material, and you've got a state. These days, things are kinda disintegrating. Stateless is getting to be a scary word. I used to think it was beautiful, a beautiful dream, it used to be for real crap. Fly away like a bird... Birds get shot down.]
I'm a certain kind of grey
I've been inside too long
Gotta head outside
Think it over
A plain kind of life
Staring into space too long
Gotta head for the highland
See you again
What is done cannot be undone (no)
What is done cannot be undone (no)
Exit
This fate
This fate
Goin' insane
Living with this weakness
Gotta get away
Think it over
I like the disturbance
I like it when it all goes wrong
At least I feel something
What is done cannot be undone (no)
What is done cannot be undone (no)
Exit
This fate (what is done cannot be undone)
This fate (what is done cannot be undone)
--- Album version ---
Starting again
I've been inside too long
I gotta get outside
Breathe again
Deliver me
These walls are closing in
I gotta get out
So I can see again
What is done cannot be undone (no)
What is done cannot be undone (no)
Exit
This phase, oh
This phase, oh
Going insane
Living with this weakness
A storm is ahead
I need the rain upon my face
I like the disturbance
Let's bring it all crashing down
At least I feel something
What is done cannot be undone (no)
What is done cannot be undone (no)
Exit
This phase, oh
This phase, oh
