lyrics

there is more than one kind of death
and this is one more kind of death
don't start, I don't want to hear
another one of your vignettes
dying like Tommy Cooper
lying in the gutter
but I'm not looking at the stars,
just looking at myself

All you do is take, take, take, take
all you do is ache, ache, ache, ache
all you do is take, take, take, take
all you do is fake, fake, fake, fake
You take, you take

I had a job but I fucked it up
don't wanna pull a pint, don't wanna stack a shelf
Don't wanna talk to you, just wanna be by myself
annex my territory, tear up my dream diary
I've never felt so low
just wanna play my solo

All I do is take, take, take, take
oh, I don't wanna break, break, break up
But all I do is take, take, take, take
Oh, all I do is fake, fake, fake, fake
