Sitting In The Dark

Lyrics: Steven Kenneth Barker Music: Steven Kenneth Barker Take it or leave it Take it or leave it now Do whatever helps you sleep at night Believe me Take it or leave it now Take it or leave it now Do whatever gets you by, this time ‘Cause nobody’s putting you on trial Guilt got you going out of style, I’m sure “Don’t go roaming on your own” That’s what the old man said to me Shit’ll make you sensitive Don’t go it alone So I went and learnt my Mother’s tongue To make her feel like she ain’t the only one Made sure my brother knew he was loved We’re a family now I ain’t letting life slip by no more ‘Cause when you ain’t got a choice it reveals the flaws Still trying to learn what I was running from All of my days Nobody’s putting you on trial Guilt got you going out of style, I’m sure When it all comes falling down when it all comes falling down would I be a little little less selfish when everything around us is melting When it all comes falling down When it all comes falling down Would you feel a little little less helpless Today! What are you sitting in the dark for? Like you’re developing photographs, Cut yourself a little slack, snap out of it Your dreams ain’t going anywhere But the ones you love might not be there It was so damn clear you didn’t care Is that what you want? Don’t drift a million miles away Go show them you’re here to stay Don’t let emotions be betrayed ‘Cause we’re a family now Used to drive ‘round town in a bust up scrap-heap city rover At least I had my friends ‘round me back then Look at me I’m a big-shot up-and-coming ‘gotta put the work’ in HA HA HA! Now I don’t know one day from the next When it all comes falling down When it all comes falling down Would I be a little little less selfish When everything around us is melting When it all comes falling down When it all comes falling down Would you feel a little little less helpless Today!
