A Captive Audience Lyrics
A Captive Audience - The Velvet Teen
i`m gonna make it go away, like it never happenedlike the author ran out of ink, before you got to me
it doesn`t matter, you have your answer
my breath upon yer hand
my breath upon yer hand
cos we`re never far from another life
but i never wanted to make you spend the night
with yer loneliest thoughts
will you come around this time
will i be left here
ooh, love
when so proudly we fail and all the optimists sing
"yeah, we`ll be that far"
when we`ll be that far behind
it`s the drug distraction
they`ll scream when i kick
but for every moment that i get too close
to the faceless void from which i stumbled
it`s only because my heart swells over
and i misinterpret it, i dwell on my failures
cos i had parents who taught me to love
yeah, love was something
they never knew
they never cared about you anyway
a hope vicarious, a captive audience
even the people that you call your friends
can fuck you over in the subtlest ways
it`ll be your comfort that you`re always alone

they never cared about you anyway
they never cared
they never care so much
as when you`ve lost your way
fire and brimstone where they lay me
heaven help us for a way to get out of here
ooh, love
