Delgados Reasons For Silence
Give me an age where I don't know a thing
Where black and white offers me peace from the din
Bright lights, cat fights, leave me cold
Recent encounters are telling me why
My reasons for silence are so justified
I can hear you, please turn down
All these pretenders pretending to be
How do they recognise people they see?
Lives by numbers, pass me by
Centred around what they know isn't true
But what is needed for distorted view
Try not to think now, you've been warned
I tried to fake it but I got found out
Fakers who fake it are on their way out
It's just me but I'll let myself be and the others go free
But I know who will win
I'm on the outside
