Selected Lyrics

The vast majority of Sylvian lyrics can be found at davidsylvian.net and slowfire. I'll generally only transcribe newly released songs that aren't up elsewhere (or ones that contain interesting background samples or vocals) and live versions of unreleased songs.

Scars and Glasses

Track #03 - The Opiates // By: Thomas Feiner & Anywhen

The slamming doors, then tail-light’s fade
No you don’t have to ask me,
I’ll stay

More a state of bodily art
Than actual heart to heart

And now my strongest force of habit
My favorite game, my wrecking ball – is you
So why stay clear?
And your frozen words, my heart attack
The sleepless night our lips cracked
I don’t mind when you’re all here

Tomorrows came and then went again
Left scars and glasses and a little
Change of name

And the world I see now is open wide
For anything that’s true to you

My strongest force of habit
My favorite game, my wrecking ball – is you
So why stay clear?
And your frozen words, my heart attack
The sleepless night our lips cracked
I don’t mind when you’re all here
