Painful
Catatonia
Way Beyond Blue (1996)

Fly, you greatest fool
Why can’t you say what they want you to?
Why can’t you do what they taught you
And show what they wanted of you?

Fly, you greatest fool
Is this what everyone talked about?
You spill your high-flung phrases
And hush when the risk gets too much

And I, I wish you would do it
Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt

Is this what everyone talked about?
Swallow everything that suits
dress it up as truth
Swallow it all down

And I, I wish you would do it
Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt
And I, I wish you would do it
Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt
So cold out here
