No Redemption - luke thompson

Well I don’t believe in anything I see

‘cos I don’t see anything at all

and I don’t believe I’m living for myself

when all I ever do is fall

and I won’t believe I’m swinging here

suspended like a picture with no wall,

so sure to fall

There’s no redemption here

ain’t it strange that when we come here

we’ve got nothing to deny or to defend

ain’t it strange even the greatest man of all

could be a madman in the end

ain’t it true no matter how many I love

I’m gonna die alone again

the way that I began

There’s no redemption here

I cant pretend I’m giving anymore

when all I ever do is take

and I cant pretend I give a damn

when all I ever give is for my sake

and I can’t just sit here singing

‘cos if singing’s all I do then I’m a fake

make no mistake

There’s no redemption here

Sure I want to say someday I’ve got

the questions and the answers figured out

sure I want to know the reasons

know the secrets no one’s telling me about

and I want to find the cure for

the hunger here that swallows me in doubt

and then surely I’ll get out

There’s no redemption here

Well I dream about the end

and I can see that I’ve got nowhere I can hide

yes I worry about tomorrow

and I wonder about yesterday and why

and I know for every evil thing I’ve done

I’ll have to look you in the eye

wearing no disguise

There’s no redemption here
