From Despair to Where Lyrics

...FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE... by Manic Street Preachers
*from 'Gold Against the Soul' (1993)*
Verse 1:
I write this alone on my bed,
I've poisoned every room in the house.
The place is quiet and so a-lone,
Pretend theres something,
Worth waiting for.
Theres nothing nice in my head,
The adult world took it all away.
I wake up with same spit in my mouth,
I cannot tell if it's real or not.
Chorus 1:
I try and,
Walk in a straight line.
An imi-tation,
Of digni-ty.
From despair,
To where?
From despair,
To where?
Interlude:
Verse 2:
Out-side open mouthed crowds,
Pass each other as if they're drugged.
Down pale corridors of rou-tine,
Where life falls una-toned.
The weak kick like straw,
Till the world means less and less.
Words are never e-nough,
Just cheap tarnished glit-ter.
Chorus 2:
I try and,
Walk in a straight line.
An imi-tation,
Of digni-ty.
From despair,
To where?
From despair to...
Bridge 1:
Where...
Chorus 3:
A cripple,
Walks in a straight line.
An imi-tation,
Of digni-ty.
From despair,
To where?
From despair,
To where?
