Lyrics
Surrogate People
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whenever you look where you're going
You look tired, turned away
Now you will be on your own now
Or you could, I'll say
The minute that your weakness will follow
They'll follow, say no more
Crawling, they'll be in the distance
You'll shout: "Why me?"
(Huh, huh)
(Huh, huh)
Reiterate your moments, the era
Disappear, turn away
The minute that you open your doors up
Down here, prowling
In mutilating your soul's intentions
You'll have to start again
Admitting that you realise the answer
Was your one true sin
The minute that you take your eyes off fear
Will make you alone
Admitting that you're realise who you are
Will make you okay
Surrogate People they walk on by
They walk on by
When they replace you they live your life
They live your life
Surrogate People they walk on by
They walk on by
When they replace you they live your life
They live your life
Surrogate People they walk on by
They walk on by
When they replace you they steal your life
They steal your life
