Masterpiece Songtext
von John Muirhead

So your masterpiece
Was a book they wouldn′t read
All your inky sleeves and sleepless nights
Cold coffee at daylight
Packing up to leave
You'll say some things that you don′t mean
Save your shaky steps, your shallow breath
Sit at the table she sets
Hey, it's alright
Call me later
You're more than the weight of failure
You′ve been trying
And I′ve been hopeless
Holding on
So your best attempt
Led to nothing in the end
You're falling over
Your composure′s roller-coasting in your head
Walking 'round


The streets of your home town
There′s nothing new, nothing to prove
A worn out soul, a pair of shoes
Hey, it's alright
Call me later
You′re more than the weight of failure
You've been trying
And I've been hopeless
Holding on
There′s nothing new, it′s all been done
Retreating back to where you came from
You're so far from the place you started
Who you could be is so broken hearted
Hey, it′s alright
Call me later
You're more than the weight of failure
You′ve been trying
And I've been hopeless
Holding on
