lyrics

FALSE VICTIM – The Late Starters

VERSE 1
Now
I’m missing somehow
That we
Can never be free

You
And all that you do
Assume
That autumn will bloom

PRE-CHORUS
Cos when destiny blinds are lifted
To reveal what life has gifteT
You’ll see that..

CHORUS
Weee….won’t see you or your false needs
Divorced from reality
We’ll see you and your hearts bleed
Go north in hypocrisy
Self deception makes you...
A false victim

VERSE 2
How
Can your life flower
When you
Live in the gloom

What
Have you not got
A fake
Life of a flake

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
SOLO
VERSE 3
Now
I’m missing somehow
That we
Can never be free

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
FINISH
