lyrics

This is certified pain education,
The music that you love's your medication,
I called Freya on the phone,
In what seemed to be a scene,
Stumbling senselessly between my nightmares and dreams

And this is the way,
And this is the way,
And this is the way that I'll be leaving,
With a gun in my back,
With a gun in my back,
And the lumps on her chest - they'll be heaving

And every fence - the fat lady sits and sings on,
And every child's life - the old and rich shit on,
We've been sentenced to a life of breaking our backs,
So when a politician does retire,
He may relax

And this is the way,
And this is the way,
And this is the way that I'll be leaving,
With a gun in my back,
With a gun in my back,
And the lumps on her chest - they'll be heaving

You emerged like a heavenly light,
You awoke like a creature of love,
Submerged - underwater in a cave,
Where every drip echoes,
With your shimmering mirages of witchcraft above

Now back in your cave with your crystalline glowing,
With that game and that jest you call fate,
You cast out all the nonsense of ordinary folk,
Yet befriend all the gods that they love, fear, and hate

That fleeting summer showed me passion,
And i learnt forgiveness in spring,
But i'd never prepared for the cold-boned shiver,
That yesterday's short spell of winter would bring


And this is the way,
And this is the way,
This is how they imagine us leaving,
With an ache in our back,
With an ache in our back,
Old, over-used, gasping and heaving
