Withdraw Retreat Songtext
von Nicky Wire

Holes full of bullshit - withdraw retreat
Futures built on sand - withdraw retreat
Concrete bunkers evermore - withdraw retreat
Even the clothes I′m in - withdraw retreat

I'm undone, I′ve seen through the dying of the sun
But that's enough to keep and dream on
When I'm in these walls well at least it keeps me real
But outside the world seems so fucking cheap
The world seems so fucking cheap


Plenty for us to kill - withdraw retreat
All we touch grows ill - withdraw retreat
Logos surround the view - withdraw retreat
Even the clothes I′m in - withdraw retreat
Time to admit defeat

The stasi is after me - withdraw retreat
Nature′s secret police - withdraw retreat

Holes full of bullshit - withdraw retreat
Futures built on sand - withdraw retreat
Concrete bunkers evermore - withdraw retreat
Even the clothes I'm in - withdraw retreat


I′m undone, I've seen through the dying of the sun
But that′s enough to keep and dream on
When I'm in these walls well at least it keeps me real
While outside the world seems so fucking cheap
Socialise at will
Give a smile until
You become so sick
And your mouth won′t work
