Damascus Lyrics - Fires - Nerina Pallot

Years ago, you said to me, "I think I'm losing the fight 

Or the fight is losing me, I'm not certain" 

And here we are, the closing scenes and all the house lights come up 

Oh, the falling of our final curtain 

I've played a role for so long that I've forgotten myself 

But I said I'd be there and I'm keeping my word 

You've played yourself so well and now I want to be you 

A great imitation of losing my nerve 

So it's over and everything is wrong, everything has gone 

And I know that everything means nothing 

Oh, it's over but I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right 

I know that everything means nothing 

On the road to Damascus they fell 

I saw the light, I saw the light but hey, it never saw me 

Oh, conversion has just left me heathen 

And we could wait a thousand years perhaps a million or more 

If it's worth waiting for but I'm leaving 

So on to a Mecca of earthly delights 

Depression is only desire deprived 

Once more unto the breach and fuck my getting it right 

We've died for so long, let's just get out alive 

'Cause it's over and everything is wrong, everything has gone 

And I know that everything means nothing 

Oh, it's over but I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right 

I know that everything means nothing 

On the road to Damascus they fell 

Well, I've been to Damascus 

Hell is where I'm gonna be 

The devil my intimate friend 

And hell is other people's hearts 

And knowing that everything must end 

Oh, it's over and everything is wrong, everything has gone 

And I know that everything means nothing 

Oh, it's over but I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right 

I know that everything means nothing, oh, it's over 

Oh, it's over but I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right 

I know that everything means nothing 

On the road to Damascus they fell 

I've been to Damascus as well
