LYRICS

RIDE THE TIGER

Another grey-lit morning, head in a haze

I should get up, but I'm locked in place

It's half-past 8, I stare at the ceiling

Alarm goes off, but I'm barely breathing

​

Make my way to work, just another day

Podcast on repeat, it's the same old pain

I should be fine, I should be glad

Grabbed Greggs for breakfast

But I'm still rather sad

​

It breaks my heart to hear it again

It's my point of view but you're not listening

Others light the way like it's a walk in the park

But without a flame I can't see in the dark

​

I don't know what it's all about

These sober eyes; still lost in doubt

If we can't untangle this mystery

I'll ride the tiger, let it carry me

​

I don't know what it's all about

Modern life; it wears me down

If we can't escape from this misery

I'll ride the tiger let it carry me

​

Living life in boxes, all staked up high

Burning through out stash, while the days drift on by

Or crammed in a carriage, no hope in sight

Got that sinking feeling, but I'm holding on tight

​

It breaks my heart to hear it again

It's my point of view but you're not listening

Others light the way like it's a walk in the park

But without a flame I can't see in the dark

​

I don't know what it's all about

These sober eyes; still lost in doubt

If we can't untangle this mystery

I'll ride the tiger let it carry me

 

I don't know what it's all about

Modern life; it wears me down

If we can't escape from this misery

I'll ride the tiger let it carry me

​

Oh oh oh

Let it carry me

Oh oh oh

Let it carry me

Oh oh oh

​

I don't know what it's all about

These sober eyes; still lost in doubt

If we can't untangle this mystery

I'll ride the tiger let it carry me

​

I don't know what it's all about

Modern life; it wears me down

If we can't escape from this misery

I'll ride the tiger let it carry me
