Massive Attack — Come Near Me

[Chorus: Ghostpoet] We've been here before, don't fear me Don't stand by the door, come near me We've been here before, don't fear me Don't stand by the door, come near me [Verse 1: Ghostpoet] Quick thought, left or right Could it be a strong case of fight or flight? We'd never know you're slightly overworked and self-conscious Sweating beads of doubt This can't be right, whisperin' out, "This can't be right, right?" This ain't like on TV Pretty for an aftershave I'm scared life will leave me Strung out, in need of love Surely I'm as overcome but brimstone won't come to lungs [Refrain: Ghostpoet] But I ain't done, surely I ain't done Oh, nah, nah, I ain't done Oh, but my mind's on the run [Pre-Chorus: Ghostpoet] Caused by your never-ending dream And it ain't what it seems Ain't what it seems Know what I mean? [Chorus: Ghostpoet] We've been here before, don't fear me Don't stand by the door, come near me We've been here before, don't fear me Don't stand by the door, come near me [Verse 2: Ghostpoet] Monster on the bed, regurgitating out Mad, this monkey on my back Pulling hair like puppet strings, slow to react Tell me, what's the matter, love? Life's drive slow-mo Front crawl in Speedos Fight against the rising tide Breathe deep, never stop clawing at the light Clinging on to what we got [Refrain: Ghostpoet] But I ain't done, I ain't done Surely, surely, surely we must overcome But my mind's on the run My mind's on the run [Pre-Chorus: Ghostpoet] Caused by your never-ending dream Nah, and it ain't what it seems It ain't what it seems Baby girl, it ain't what it seems Nah, it ain't what it seems Too cruel to be mean To be cruel Don't wanna lose ya [Chorus: Ghostpoet] We've been here before, don't fear me Don't stand by the door, come near me We've been here before, don't fear me Don't stand by the door, come near me
