Vigilantes of Love
Your Bright Future
[Verse 1]
There's this little piece of you
I may never see again
There's a bigger piece of me that's
Simply vanishing
There's a little scrap of memory
Sleeping next to your truth
It's all curled around your body
And I cannot shake it loose
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You park your van
You feel again
You scratch your skin
Pick up your pen
[Chorus]
I am afraid
What did I pay
To stand up here
And play the fool?
I'm losing myself
And I know
I'm losing you
[Verse 2]
Something you'll remember
Something you once knew
Why bring it all up to the light
Except when it's killing you?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A bridge to build
An act of will
Some time to kill
A soul to fill
[Chorus]
I am afraid
What did I pay
To stand up here
And play the fool?
I'm losing myself
And I know
I'm losing you
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Your bright future stares me down
You'll bury all you lose
Your winter sun, she breaks upon
Those skies of cobalt blue
[Chorus]
I am afraid
What did I pay
To stand up here
And play the fool?
I'm losing myself
And I know
I am afraid
What did I pay
To stand up here
And play the fool?
I'm losing myself
And I know
I am afraid
I am afraid
