Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never wanted to be main character
Pretty fucked up there in the light
I'd rather sit at the kitchen table and
Just start to hitch hike
Maybe to me other stories are more interesting, and
Maybe to me they're a mirror back on everything
So much bigger, bolder, braver than I'll ever be, so
[Chorus]
Take a walk with me through these lives
I'm your friend, your lover and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
But I'm an unreliable narrator
I'm your unreliable narrator
[Verse 2]
There ain't no God up above
Just these hounds of love
We've heard every story before
Genius minds, all these fights, just to live a life
What's the motive, and what we here for?
David talked about daily trenches of adult life, but
I'm still hypnotised by the voices inside my mind
When I should sit down, shut up
Listen, just listen, be humble 'round these stories
[Chorus]
Take a walk with me through these lives
I'm your friend, your lover and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
But I'm an unreliable narrator
I'm your unreliable narrator
[Verse 3]
Can you trust me?
Do you trust me?
So the cliché says, "History repeats itself"
Well here we go again
Yeah, the cliché says, "History repeats itself"
Well here we go again
[Outro]
Take a walk with me through these lives
I'm your friend, your lover and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
Never lay your trust in the narrator
