Shopenhauer’s


They brought you down from Schopenhauer’s
They beat you up again, didn’t they?
I saw your face

It seems every time you turn around
There’s always someone waiting there
To take that place

Where did I go wrong?
I was sitting here all along
When did I get back to the place
That I laughed about weeks ago
Saying over and over I would never return?

What about the kids at home?
Living on a TV show
Making it up as they go
When nobody’s home?

Now, you’re going to go and let him down
Apologise into his eyes
Ain’t you, son?

‘Cause you know all the things he struggles with
Are from his youth
And I’ll bet it’s ‘cause he left them undone

When did I get weak?
Or is it just that I can’t hold my drink?
When did we get back to the place
That we laughed about years ago
Saying over and over we would never return?

What about the kids at home?
Living on a TV show
Making it up as they go
When nobody’s home?

They brought you down from Schopenhauer’s
They beat you up again, didn’t they?
I saw your face
