From the album THE MORTAL COIL available here - LYRICS Heavy hangs the air Heavy lies the beating heart Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight Dead-set on living like tomorrow was to blame And through these holes you’d see the blackest soul inside of me One foot stuck in the past, one planted in my grave Running circles, old habits die hard Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways I’m torn between the remedies for everything Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight Dry mouth, taste it like a cut vein Blackout, it all ends the same So stay away, stay away, Can you tell when I lie right through my teeth? No escape, no escape Like a chain, in a way we are all bound to our fate Don’t let it bury me We call this therapy Running circles, old habits die hard Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways I’m torn between the remedies for everything Heavy hangs the air Heavy lies the beating heart Burden breeds remorse Black clouds hover low like a curse Running circles, old habits die hard Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways I’m torn between the remedies for everything Follow Polaris
