Blasé Position

Dark and moody you're still brooding
Wired like a rumour that's not moving
Cut like an army wife and bleeding
Stopped like a wall that is not speeding
Trained like a pilot, urgent night sweat
I'm your nightmare still to dream yet
I breathe into you
You catch my heaving sigh just in time

Blase position
Held up ambition
And you know you'll never see
What I take inside
But I'll never be the one to hide

Give me a mirror for your freedom
Piece it together, claim my kingdom
Add your love to my condition
I'm your walking ammunition
Pierce like a bright light
Burning stark white
You can know me and know you're right
I come into you
You block the sun and I fade to your sign

Blase position
Held up ambition
And you know you'll never see
What I take inside
But I'll never be the one to hide

I cannot be bothered all these days and nights
I cannot be bothered all these days and nights

Blase position
Held up ambition
And you know you'll never see
What I take inside
But I'll never be the one to hide
