Instead from Holding by The Mighty Frasers

Verse 1
You come looking for perfection
From a place of fear and dread
You expect the transformation
Of the fishes and the bread
Then you miss the golden moment
You want alchemy instead
Instead

Chorus 1
And yet you crawl into my sanity
Feed my weakest vanity
My curse is your urbanity

Verse 2
You come talking introspection
From the failure of your bed
You express a deep connection
To the works of Freud you’ve read
But you miss the point so widely
You get Donald Duck instead
Instead

Chorus 2
And yet you crawl into my sanity
Feed my weakest vanity
My curse is your urbanity

Bridge
Though you think you have the power
Your metaphors(’re) absurd
Your formulas don’t balance
Your solutions lie with words

Solo

Verse 3
You come looking for protection
From the place of fear and dread
You expect the transformation
Of the fools inside your head
Now you try to be Bob Dylan
But you’re a talk-show host instead
Instead

Chorus 2
And yet you’ve crawled into my sanity
Fed my weakest vanity
You see the hardest thing for you and me
Is to accept our mediocrity
