[Verse 1]
I'm looking through a portal
It's got eyes and a mastery of gravity
I'm lucky to be here now, I was lonely
Talk to me, talk to me
[Verse 2]
I've got a new perspective
The glass in my hand, it ain't exactly full
The place at my table is an empty stool
Talk to me, talk to me
[Chorus 1]
Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing
[Verse 3]
I'm like the bugs that sleep for years
Conditions are ripe, they fly into the sun
The spectacle gets to you, life is always new
Talk to me, talk to me
[Verse 4]
From my waking sleep, I fear
You're planning to prise yourself away from me
You're planning to exit from my misery
I can take a lot, but I'm not prepared to face the alone
[Chorus 1]
Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing
[Verse 5]
All I want is your hand on mine
Slow rubbing, ecstasy of company
I'm facing the lonely night with my fading sight
Talk to me, talk to me
[Verse 6]
Many times I faced the wall
I called for the peace and now I've got it all
Peace grows into anguish when your heart leaks
Talk to me, talk to me
[Chorus 1]
Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing
[Chorus 1]
Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing!
[Chorus 2]
Delusions are all my present currency
They're causing the poison in my veins and voices
Hearing voices telling me to beat the clock
Doctor, please release me now
I can't afford to waste another second
I can't waste it
[Chorus 1]
Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control

Sarah Martin:
I kept going to Sainsbury’s on Friday nights, inexplicably, where they play great records. And there was one time they were playing like a series of Style Council songs while I was in trying to find pasta. When I was driving home, that tune kind of popped into my head, so I made a rou...
