From Despair to Where (House in the Woods demo) Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

I write this alone on my bed
I′ve poisoned every room in the house
The place is quiet and so alone
I may repeal so leave a memory

There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away
I wake with same spit in my mouth
I cannot tell if it′s real or not

A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
We're from despair to where


Outside open mouthed crowds
Pass each other as if they're drugged
Down pale corridors of routine
Where life falls unatoned

The weak kick like straw
′Til the world means less and less
Words are never enough
Just cheap tarnished glitter

A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
We′re from despair to where
From despair to where

A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
From despair to where
