[Verse 1]

I took the long fall down from a phrase I never meant

It grabbed me by the throat and choked me in my bed

Two branches close together to blacken out the streets

These nights are never-ending fragments of a dream


[Verse 2]

I'll take a loan out on a sense of self-esteem

Evict you from my head 'cause I'm done with your tenancy

Like winter ghosts I am the floorboards where you creep

What's yours was mine, it ain't fine when I'm dying for some sleep


[Chorus]

No help from the West!

I'm stuck in these Boschian scenes

I've died with the best

And I still don't know what it all means


[Verse 3]

I took the long fall down from a phrase I never meant

It stole the oxygen and choked me in my bed

Creature in the forest must have socialised with trees

'Cause I swear that it's the roots you left that pinch inside of me


[Chorus]

No help from the West!

I'm stuck in these Boschian scenes

I've died with the best

And I still don't know what it all means


[Bridge]

I said 'I am the voice of God!' - at least, that's what I intended

'I am the voice of God!' - you should have just pretended

A little black sheep staring down two rows of pointed teeth

Just sleeping in the sea when something caught ahold of me

Don't you ever get that sinking feeling?
