Breaking the Rules (Live) - Jack Savoretti

I'll keep my sights on awaking dream I gave my life to the vile beneath I am but one of a dying breed Hate kills this world, but it won't kill me (Wake up the victim of violence, shut the breath of the lifeless) I'm breaking the silence, I'm falling apart for you (Wake up the victim of violence, shut the breath of the lifeless) I'm chasing the righteous, becoming a part of you Fake plastic life, full of wasted years Love lost inside, diabolic fear I feel no fault for the fault I feel Hope drains this world, but it won't drain me (Wake up the victim of violence, shut the breath of the lifeless) I'm breaking the silence, I'm falling apart for you (Wake up the victim of violence, shut the breath of the lifeless) I'm chasing the righteous, becoming a part of you Run (Wake up the victim of violence, shut the breath of the lifeless) I'm breaking the silence, I'm falling apart for you (Wake up the victim of violence, shut the breath of the lifeless) I'm chasing the righteous, becoming a part of you I'm breaking the silence; I'm falling down with you

All alone It was always there you see And even on my own It was always standing next to me I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone Even when I was a child I've always known There was something to be find You know that I can see you coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone On the edge of sleep My old familiar friend Comes and lies down next to me And I can see you coming from the edge of the room Smiling in the streetlight Even with my eyes shut tight I still see you coming Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down

Isn't it strange how princesses and kings In clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings? While common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules Each must make his life as flowing in Tumbling block on a stepping stone Just like common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules I said common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules Look when the plane is falling from the sky I know the sun will be only missing for a while I said common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules I said common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules

I can feel the animal within I chain the beast and crawl inside myself I hear the call of violence I sleep no more, and I can't I've lost it all Carry me through this world of lies Feel no more, the suffering Bury me in this cold light Feed the wolf and shed my skin I can see the devil closing in I choke the breath that dies to cry for help I feel the pull of gravity I bleed no more, and rise again I've lost it all Carry me through this world of lies Feel no more, the suffering Bury me in this cold light Feed the wolf and shed my skin It is no longer a human, it's a beast Unmerciful, ferocious, fearless You're a madman Tampering with nature Every man, a vicious animal Carry me through this world of lies Feel no more, the suffering Bury me in this cold light Feed the wolf and shed my skin Carry me through this world of lies (Fight the animal) Feel no more, the suffering (Fight the animal) Bury me in this cold light (Fight the animal) Feed the wolf and shed my skin

It must have been inside my head I've lost the hope that I have left And now, at last, it comes to pass We sleep, we dream, we have no less Along the path, we lost our way It's all a game that I must play And now the weak that fall Return to ash, defeated after all Fade away to the wicked world we live And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go When all has come to life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light Forever lost in time With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we live And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go When all has come to life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light Forever lost in time With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we live And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go Save this selfish world Save this selfish world (let go) Save this selfish world Save this selfish world

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
