Any Love That Comes Along Songtext

von Cosmicity

I used to see my life backlit by LEDs.
I used to feel quantized to the nearest possibilities.
I used to know my blood was electro-synthesized.
I used to face the camera so you'd see the power in my eyes.
And then, they pulled one string,
And I unravelled for the universe.
And then, they took one piece,
So I broke down and let them do their worst.
Now I'm just desperate -
A pathetic shell.
I'd detail more, but I'm sure you can tell…
That I'm just empty.
A man gone wrong.
So I take any love that comes along.
I used to look out at the world and see my chance.
I used to think my choices mattered more than circumstance.
I used to drink it down and see it still half full.
I used to hear a perfect song without having to try at all.
And then, they stole one note,
And the music just stopped making sense.
And then, they changed one word,
And I was mute before the end of the first verse.
Now I'm just desperate - a pathetic shell.
I'd detail more, but I'm sure you can tell…
That I'm just empty.
A man gone wrong.
So I take any love that comes along.
You say I'm brilliant -
I say I'm scared.
You say I have it but I say it's disappeared.
You say you love me -
That's what I need to hear.
The rest is garbled 'cause now I'm not thinking clear.
You call me closer,
And I oblige.
You say it's okay -
I know it's lies.
But I ignore that look there in your eyes.
Today I let go - tomorrow I ask why.
I'm just so desperate - a pathetic shell.
I'd detail more, but I'm sure you can tell…
That I'm just empty.
A man gone wrong.
So I take any love that comes along.
