Absolute Liberation Lyrics - The The

It's like the scenes in my dreams revisited 

You see I live in a seashell, free from the world 

Sometimes it feels like a living hell 

But I've got to keep a distance from the real world 

Sometimes I'm grateful for the peace of mind 

Sometimes it seems that I'm becoming like the people I hate 

With phoney looks and phoney books and phoney ways of talking 

They play with fire and evil 

Cushioned by the knowledge of their security 

But ignorance is bliss 

I've got a feeling that words can't explain 

A blood of glue pumps its way through my veins 

I'm struck dumb with mental impotence 

As the feelings in my head explode in a fountain of ignorance 

Sometimes I feel like a poor little soul who fell in love 

With someone who didn't love him 

A thousand unknown pledges that lie rotting inside a bleeding heart 

But don't you think you're just looking for reasons to fortify yourself? 

I'm clogging up my mind with perpetual dreams 

My actions speak louder than me 

I've got a feeling that words can't explain 

A blood of glue pumps its way through my veins 

And it looks like it's moved its way to my legs 

I'm struck dumb with mental impotence 

As the feelings in my head explode in a fountain of ignorance 

You weigh in without an ounce of common sense 

And you know that you've forgotten more than you'll ever know 

You only read to avoid thinking 

And your head empties when you've got no one to boast to 

Without the lubrication of inspiration, you're all washed up! 

But I live in a seashell, free from the world 

I've got a feeling that words can't explain...
