lyrics

Wanna tell you a story
I want this all to end well
Wanna start from conclusions
And see my enemies in hell

And when the details get gory
I search for someone to tell
But all my private delusions
Ring my ears like a bell

See, I'm addicted to meaning
I've a sickness, it's true
I'm my own private hero
I am yellow and blue

There's no rock in the valley
There's no mountain to climb
And it won't fix its-own-self
And the truth will not rhyme

So when I'm losing the tally
Losing track of the time
I put that book on my own shelf
I reject the sublime

See, I'm addicted to meaning
I've a sickness, it's true
I'm my own private hero
I am yellow and blue

Shoot me down in my winged flight
Only fools chase the sun
I'll be a caution to no one
I'll keep my pride on the run

So when I scream from the high height
About a race to be won
Tell me nothing and no one
Beats the grave or the sun

See, I'm addicted to meaning
I've a sickness, it's true
I'm my own private hero
I am yellow and blue

What if nothing happens for a reason
And nothing dead can come back?
Let them bury their own dead
Earth will not love them back

This is my losing season
This is the nighttime attack
But it will not leave me wounded
If I never look back
