Lyrics
In Spite Of Yourself Sometimes when you stop and look around you And you see no light is shining through, Staring at the darkness that surrounds you, There is nothing left to do. Sometimes when you look into a mirror And you see the strange look in that face Glancing at you with eyes full of horror And your heart beats at a higher pace. Sometimes when you come to think about it And you find no way to ease your soul Struggling with the dark thoughts of your mindset Try to escape another hole. Don’t look back! Don’t give up! Don’t look back! Don’t give up! Just go on, hold out, in spite of yourself. Just go on, hold out, in spite of yourself. Stay up late and try to find an answer Work on schemes refusing to reveal Pace the rooms, a dizzy dancer Losing touch with what is real. Searching for the pieces of a puzzle Of broken truth as well as broken faith Feel so strained, an ache in every muscle As you lost another race. Images lie scattered on the carpet Thrust them up with heavy hobnail boots Leave the scene and go down to the market Sell the lot, conceal your roots. Don’t look back! Don’t give up! Don’t look back! Don’t give up! Just go on, hold out, in spite of yourself. Just go on, hold out, in spite of yourself.
