The Power - Nimmo

Night falls in the distance

Time loses resistance

And I don’t know how

I’ll ever feel well again

Walls changing these eyelids

Tears flow to my iris

And I don’t know how

I’ll ever feel well again

Can I cheat one more night in their eyes?

I can’t see past my only disguise

I don’t belong to you

I don’t belong to my own desires

Nothing I feel is true

Getaway driver take me tonight

'Cause even when I think about it

Even when I think

Even when I dream about it

I’m dreaming I don’t belong to you

I don’t belong

I don’t belong

Blindfolded by your lens

You drove me from my best friends

And I don’t know how

I’ll ever find my way home

Dropped off in the West End

Straight talking and desperate

Well I don’t know how

I’ll ever feel well again

Can I cheat one more night in their eyes?

I can’t see past my only disguise

I don’t belong to you

I don’t belong to my own desires

Nothing I feel is true

Getaway driver take me tonight

To somewhere I can think without you

Somewhere I can sleep

Somewhere I’m no longer dreaming

I don’t belong to you

I don’t belong

I don’t belong

My back’s in pain

I’m paid in vain

Like 8.50 an hour

Standing at the counter

Giving straight girls my advice on life

And I’m selling cheap a portion

Of my dignity because boredom

Well it drives my mind

To the weakest kind

Of a coyness built for the boardroom

I had dreams when I was 16

Yeah, my best friend was Morrissey

Our politics, they never aligned

A harsh breath on my warm mind

You woke each and every last fight

I’m reminded of the power

The power, the power, the power

I don’t belong to you

I don’t belong to my own desires

Nothing I feel is true (I don’t belong to you)

Getaway driver take me tonight

To somewhere I can think without you

Somewhere I can sleep

Somewhere I’m no longer dreaming

I don’t belong to you (I don’t belong to you)

I don’t belong

I don’t belong

To somewhere I can think without you

Somewhere I can sleep

Somewhere I’m no longer dreaming

To somewhere I can think without you

Somewhere I can sleep

Somewhere I’m no longer dreaming

To somewhere I can think without you

Somewhere I can sleep

Somewhere I’m no longer dreaming

That’s the power

That’s my power
