Dedicated to Sam Powell 1982-2001

"Go lightly down your darkened way."





In order to gain, I'm taking away

the only thing that is mine

I have nothing to lose,

Maybe I'll win this time.



I know there's still colour

But I only see with monochrome eyes

I prefer those black and white scenes, because

Everybody lies



I can't take it today, I can't take it today

I can't take it today, But I can take it away....



I'm hanging hope on the end of a rope,

I'm drunk, and the words of a boy

Still ring in my ears, after so many years,

What else is there to destroy



I can't take it today, I can't take it today

I can't take it today, But I can take it away....



I'm never looking back, there's nothing to subtract.
