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.

Toy

Track #07 - The Opiates // By: Thomas Feiner & Anywhen

Just a few words
About my state
In the white noise of life

I might feel like listening up
But I can’t meditate
With all the strange circuits in my head

I’m a toy, yeah
I am just a toy, yeah
Nothing but a toy
For this brain
And it’s pure pain

Just a few words
About my state
In the sleepwalk of life

I might feel like slowing down
But my feet won’t wait around
With all the funny rhythms in those legs

I’m a toy, yeah
I am just a toy, yeah
Nothing but a toy
For this brain
And it’s pure pain
