11 - Pride

[00:10.14] Won't you turn away from me,

[00:13.88] In case you find you disagree,

[00:17.14] With the person I've become since I've wandered on my own.

[00:23.14] Oh I wish I'd fall from sight,

[00:26.63] From the focus in the light,

[00:29.64] To the place where I grew up,

[00:32.39] Or somewhere else I may belong.

[00:35.38] You step a little bit closer,

[00:37.89] Even though I've asked you not to,

[00:41.39] You step a little bit closer,

[00:43.64] And it suffocates my pride.

[00:49.13] This skin cracks like autumn leaves,

[00:51.38] On the surface of my street,

[00:54.14] That I'm scared of treading on,

[00:57.39] In case I walk too far from home.

[01:00.39] Education fills my floors/flaws,

[01:03.63] I've misread it all before,

[01:06.64] There's no easy way to learn,

[01:09.64] If I am really in control.

[01:12.13] You step a little bit closer,

[01:15.14] Even though I've asked you not to,

[01:18.63] You step a little bit closer,

[01:20.64] And it suffocates my pride.

[01:58.39] Each time I figured I was strange,

[02:01.39] You looked as if you didn't know.

[02:05.39] In spite of everything I've said,

[02:10.39] I hoped that you would never go.

[02:14.88] I couldn't bring myself into the light,

[02:20.64] I muttered "won't you get lost,

[02:23.39] I'm hollow in this skin,

[02:27.89] Stay with me and you'll recognise this soon enough.

[02:34.13] You've got your race to run,

[02:37.38] You've got your race to run,

[02:39.89] So follow on.

[03:10.14] You step a little bit closer,

[03:12.39] Even though I've asked you not to,

[03:15.89] You step a little bit closer,

[03:18.63] And it suffocates my pride.

[03:22.38] You step a little bit closer,

[03:25.14] Because you've recognised,

[03:28.13] That in my isolation,

[03:31.39] I'm as cold as I am vain
