Bitw - Pretender
Tell me what you see
A thousand pieces of you
A thousand more of me
The man with the beard
He cries as he hears the news
He'd suffered enough
In a time when he’d nothing to lose
Sitting round waiting to be found
Now and again I pretend
To be somebody else
Work it out and learn how
To be scared of myself
When I go, let me know
If you happen to find
Someone better to be
Take your place in time
An unfamiliar age
Thrust into the light
As you step onto the stage
Pull at the skin
The illusion of infinite youth
An impotent wish
To evade unconditional truth
And try the impossible journey
Of crossing the room
It’s all the same
It won’t matter what name you assume
Settled in, ready to begin

I am not the man You thought I could be Back where we began Now listen to me Soon I will be gone You must carry On the night bus home I close my eyes
Bitw - Old Hands
(Lo and behold) When the morning came (The highs and the lows) I felt myself again In darkness I had seen the eye Looking back at me (Let me know where) I will
Bitw - The Hive
How does it feel To be the one who leaves? Tell me what it’s like outside In a machine Where no-one dares to dream I could be the one to try I didn’t know How far
Bitw - Head for a Hometown
Tiny men in cardboard boxes Hiding out to avoid the taxes (Said it was only temporary) You never got around (But now it’s all about the money) You got no head for a
Bitw - Age of Anomaly
I never thought I would be back Some years later on a different path To rest before my second act In the age of anomaly I’m the feeling without a name A certain sense

Look inside my mouth Tell me what you see A thousand pieces of you A thousand more of me The man with the beard He cries as he hears the news He'd suffered
