From Despair To Where Lyrics by Manic Street Preach
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I write this alone on my bed
I've poisoned every room in the house
The place is quiet and so alone
Pretend there's something worth waiting for

There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away
Wake up with same spit in my mouth
Cannot tell if it is real or not

I try and walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where

Outside open mouthed crowds
Pass each other as if they're drugged
Down pale corridors of routine
Where life falls unatoned

The weak kick like straw
Till the world means less and less
Words are never enough
Just cheap tarnished glitter

I try and walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
I write this alone on my bed   I've poisoned every room in the house   The place is quiet and so alone   Pretend there's something worth waiting for      There's nothing nice in my head   The adult world took it all away   Wake up with same spit in my mouth   Cannot tell if it is real or not      I try and walk in a straight line   An imitation of dignity   From despair to where      Outside open mouthed crowds   Pass each other as if they're drugged   Down pale corridors of routine   Where life falls unatoned      The weak kick like straw   Till the world means less and less   Words are never enough   Just cheap tarnished glitter      I try and walk in a straight line   An imitation of dignity   A cripple walks in a straight line   An imitation of dignity
