Take A Sentence - Gruff Rhys

Colour my senses in crayon

Take me to task when there’s reason

To judge me for lustre or treason

I cease to exist in the dark

I turn my face towards the sun

Take a sentence and repeat until

The siren sings

They airbrushed the outcome

And swept it aside

An easy acquaintance would stay by my side

Through trials infected by poisonous minds

In sulphur clouds they sat behind

The struggle to conform

The comfort we seek

Maintaining a semblance of how we perceived

The future that faced us when we all began

Our journey from Mother to woman and man

They’ll sweep you up

To skies up high

Erase your memory away

Take a sentence and repeat until

The siren sings
