Duty of Care

In origin we exist, with button eyes

In frailty we persist, defenceless in our cocoon

Into the chaos thrown, helplessly immune

Just keep moving, just keep breathing

Still deluding, in this dreaming

 

In violence you remained, you took me under wing

Then drank yourself out of the game

You couldn’t be a lesser man

To undermine a child, before the innocence began

 

Just keep moving, just keep breathing

Still deluding, in this dreaming

 

In a duty of care, I relied

I guess there’s no use in looking backwards

As the tears dry

In the warmth of your arms, I will lie

And the places I used to call home

Are now bonfires

 

What goes around returns in time

And when the poisoned tree decays

There’ll be another next in line

To undermine and suffocate

And if it leaves you feeling worthless

Well at least you can relate

 

Just keep moving, just keep breathing

Still deluding, in this dreaming

In a duty of care, I relied

I guess there’s no use in looking backwards

As the tears dry

In the warmth of your arms, I will lie

And the places I used to call home

Are now bonfires

In a duty of care, I relied

Just be enough to live yourself

Just be enough to love yourself

I guess there’s no use in looking backwards

As the tears dry

In the warmth of your arms, I will lie

Just be enough to live yourself

Just be enough to love yourself

And the places I used to call home

Are now bonfires

I want to go home

In a duty of care, I relied

Just be enough to love yourself

I want to go home

I guess there’s no use in looking backwards

As the tears dry, I want to go home

In the warmth of your arms, I will lie

And the places I used to call home

Are now bonfires
