Former Glories / Bruising (Reprise) (2020 Version)

[Verse 1]
Best be taking down the awards on my wall
I can't face them no more
I'm not the man they hang around for
Only a fool would raise drinks to
Someone that used to be and
The things that used to do

[Chorus]
Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found spinning my old stories and
Trying to hold the crowd
Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found as lonely as a portrait
Stories all spun out

[Verse 2]
Funny how my pride don't go down so easily
After I swim so deep
Looking for all that could have been blinded by all of those brightly-lit halls that can't be mine to keep without somewhere withal

[Chorus]
Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found spinning my old stories and
Trying to hold the crowd
Hope I'm never found
Hope I'm never found as lonely as a portrait
Stories all spun out

[Bruising outro]
I can't be a mouth for the demon doubt
With all of last night's glitter showing
