Withdraw/Retreat - Nicky Wire

Holes full of bullshit — withdraw retreat

Futures built on sand — withdraw retreat

Concrete bunkers evermore — withdraw retreat

Even the clothes I’m in — withdraw retreat

I’m undone, I’ve seen through the dying of the sun

But that’s enough to keep and dream on

When I’m in these walls well at least it keeps me real

But outside the world seems so fucking cheap

The world seems so fucking cheap

Plenty for us to kill — withdraw retreat

All we touch grows ill — withdraw retreat

Logos surround the view — withdraw retreat

Even the clothes I’m in — withdraw retreat

Time to admit defeat

The stasi is after me — withdraw retreat

Nature’s secret police — withdraw retreat

Holes full of bullshit — withdraw retreat

Futures built on sand — withdraw retreat

Concrete bunkers evermore — withdraw retreat

Even the clothes I’m in — withdraw retreat

I’m undone, I’ve seen through the dying of the sun

But that’s enough to keep and dream on

When I’m in these walls well at least it keeps me real

While outside the world seems so fucking cheap

Socialise at will

Give a smile until

You become so sick

And your mouth won’t work
