Can You Bend Your Back Like This? Lyrics - Milla Jovovich

In my reckless lifelong rambling 

I saw a man break one day 

Such a saint, he only lived on paint 

He only spoke in prose 

Gave his life to save his soul 

When he walked out one day 

He said, "Please don't believe them 

They never understand the triumph the goal of victory 

Tell them flippant things and starlet rings 

And eyes and nervous laughter 

But never say what's on your mind." 

Who's gonna take? 

And who's gonna swallow? 

All these empty dreams back 

What of tomorrow? 

Wanting more for no abilities 

Is this for whom we must provide? 

Curse this thing that's called achievement 

Curse your striding bounds 

Kill the fire in your eyes 

Who's gonna take? 

And who's gonna swallow? 

All these empty dreams back 

What of tomorrow? 

You see it 

But could you ever believe it? 

Your fate 

But could you really heed it? 

Can't help it 

But can you bend your back like this? 

Take your damn lies and go 

I shrugged this world off my shoulders 

Pretty crowds who speak and clouds 

Great wits of conversation 

Skim this life but never live
