lyrics

The forums were all buzzing
Like clarion of sorts
I was sewing on my badges
For the purest of the pure
Instead I climbed into their garden
I scaled down the walls
Now I'm bathing in their fountains
While the revolution calls

If you were me
Would you take a stand?
The slogans are free
I'm discovering
Give me whiskey to drink
From an old tin can
I'm sure you'll find
I'm a selfish man

I'm hiding from the shadows
Buried deep within
The places that I go to
When no ones listening
Now I'm left with all these witches
To drown without a lot
I'm a horse that never stumbles
You're a hand without a glove

If I've achieved
What I said I would
Then I will dream
Like they never could
The prayer on my lips
My frost covered coat
Heaven believes I'm original

Far into the distance
Fade the human silhouettes
I am growing smaller here
No one notices
But in hidden books
And in my favourite children's games
I will rise through forest fires
To see the sun shining

If you were me
Would you take a stand?
I'm sure you'll find
I'm a selfish man
