Benjamin Tod - What Keeps Me Up Now lyrics
[Benjamin Tod - What Keeps Me Up Now lyrics]
Do I have what it takes to make it somehow
What if I fall on my face
In front of the crowd
And all my mistakes are reflected it shapes
That appear like a self-loathing shroud
And as I recede in the charm
Of my grief I am bound
What keeps me up now
And let nightmares control you
And daylight expose you
When the blood in your head starts to pound
Its 20 til 3 and you've got
A cliff to climb down
What keeps me up now
Remember the time you first called me out
I laughed to pretend not to know
What came out of your mouth
But it clung on my brain like
A fresh coat of paint
And I fled on a train headed south
And in New Orleans I wiped
My mind on the town
What keeps me up now
And let nightmares control you
And daylight expose you
When the blood in your head starts to pound
Its 20 til 3 and you've got
A cliff to climb down
What keeps me up now
And I used the dope to escape
Where I couldn't be found
And I burnt through all petty
Cash and bank accounts
And with nothing else but a guitar and belt
I hocked it and swore off the sound
The belt was a noose when I
Came to on the ground
What keeps me up now
And let nightmares control you
And daylight expose you
When the blood in your head starts to pound
Its 20 til 3 and you've got
A cliff to climb down
What keeps me up now
What if I fall on my face
In front of the crowd
And all my mistakes are reflected it shapes
That appear like a self-loathing shroud
And as I recede in the charm
Of my grief I am bound
What keeps me up now
And let nightmares control you
And daylight expose you
When the blood in your head starts to pound
Its 20 til 3 and you've got
A cliff to climb down
What keeps me up now
Remember the time you first called me out
I laughed to pretend not to know
What came out of your mouth
But it clung on my brain like
A fresh coat of paint
And I fled on a train headed south
And in New Orleans I wiped
My mind on the town
What keeps me up now
And let nightmares control you
And daylight expose you
When the blood in your head starts to pound
Its 20 til 3 and you've got
A cliff to climb down
What keeps me up now
And I used the dope to escape
Where I couldn't be found
And I burnt through all petty
Cash and bank accounts
And with nothing else but a guitar and belt
I hocked it and swore off the sound
The belt was a noose when I
Came to on the ground
What keeps me up now
And let nightmares control you
And daylight expose you
When the blood in your head starts to pound
Its 20 til 3 and you've got
A cliff to climb down
What keeps me up now
