My Song Videos - 4

Stumbling on the darkening path, your breath smokes on the air.

Retrace your footsteps through the snow?  You’ll find no warming there.

Your days expire like dying leaves: rich hues but brittle skins.

They tell you that it’s time to take leave of the pains within.

Valiant, soldier on until your light is gone.

Write up your final lines in the book of time.

Fight on.

Aged and inconsequent you seek the stars from whence you came.

They see your light still burning bright, though worldly eyes defame.

Surrendered to the blessed hand, finally you’re free.

Pass through the gate to seek your peace, far from the wakening sea.

Valiant, soldier on until your light is gone.

Write up your final lines in the book of time.

Fight on.

The colding night seeks to embrace your soul and shuffling heart;

The wind of change can now be felt: eternal engines start.

Valiant, soldier on until your light is gone.

Write up your final lines in the book of time.

Fight on.

I can handle anything I see on my horizon.

I’m the man who can, the one with no flies on.

Don’t try to catch me out, you know I won’t let it.

You’ll get it back in spades; you know you’ll regret it.

You always held me down and I’m mad that I let you,

I rolled over so I didn’t upset you.

Your love was selfish and I’m done with forgiving,

Get outta my life now, I want to start living.

I struggled through the dark and found the light.

I found that you were wrong and I was right.

Don’t mess with me, just let me be,

I’ve been to hell and back but now I’m in control.

Don’t mess with me ‘cos now I’m free, 

My life is back on track, I’m on a roll.

So now it’s over and I see you come crawlin’,

With your tears a-flowin’ and your old caterwaulin’.

I smile and shrug and say that you had it coming,

It’s time to leave my dear, you’d better get moving.

You put stuff in my life to strangle and choke me,

To get my back up, to poke and provoke me.

Don’t mess with me, just let me be, etc.

I deserved better: a little respect.

I stood up to you and that’s something you didn’t expect.

Don’t mess with me, just let me be, etc.

I thought our love would just grow older.

But all I feel now is your cold shoulder.

You had my heart in the palm of your hand;

There’s just one thing now I need to understand.

Why did you turn away?  I find it so strange.

As far as I know it wasn’t me that changed.

I hang around and try to play my part.

But you look straight through me; something closed your heart.

Why should I stay?  You treat me gone anyway,

Like an invisible man.

It feels so weird; I simply disappeared,

Like an invisible man. 

The silent treatment,  I’m getting it all the time.

I’ve serving a sentence and I don’t know my crime.

I faded away like a silhouette,

A meaningless someone you can just forget.

Why should I stay?  You treat me gone anyway,

Like an invisible man.

A deep blue haze that faded away.

I’m an invisible man. 

Why should I stay?  You treat me gone anyway,

Like an invisible man.

It’s a mystery, you made me history

Like an invisible man.
