lyrics

I couldn't see myself,
Then one day as the sun fell,
Found myself looking at the shadow of a broken man.

I couldn't stop myself,
From calling time with that old belle,
When I heard the ghostly echo of a long lost hopeful man.

Now I see what a fool I've been,
I must've been blind.

I couldn't reach myself,
I'd climbed up onto the top shelf,
A cheerless caricature of the modern man.

Now I see what a fool I've been,
I must've been blind.

Oh, I won't care if you don't care brother,
But if you do then look me in the eye and may you feel the same...

I used to like myself,
Now I just feel unwell,
Seeing I'm just as hopeless, as hapless, as spineless, useless as any other man.

And now I see what a fool I've been.
