Manic Street Preachers - From Despair To Where Lyrics

I write this alone on my bed
I've poisoned every room in my house
The place is quiet and so alone
Pretend there's something worth waiting for.

There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away
I wake with the same spit in my mouth
I cannot tell if it's real or not.

I try to walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where?
From despair to where?

Outside opened mouthed crowds
Pass each other as if they're stoned
Down pale corridors of routine
Where life falls unatoned

The weak kick like straw
Till the world means less and less
Words are never enough
Just cheap tarnished glitter

I try to walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where?
From despair to where?

A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where?
From despair to where?
