Lyrics Chimera's Wreck - Porcupine Tree

A coat of arms is all we are
The slow decay, a dying star
A sinkhole for the crawling of the hours

Afraid to be (afraid to be)
What I should be (what I should be)
The sum of all (the sum of all)
Of new and old (of new and old)
Experience has made me none the wiser

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa

Chimera's wreck around my neck
To start again, to dream again
To fix the things that cursed me from the start

My father smiles (my father smiles)
At me, the child (at me, the child)
Now getting tired (now getting tired)
And losing drive (and losing drive)
The clarity that age has brought to me

(A new town in the 60's)
(Had the concrete and design made for tomorrow)
(And even when the rain comes)
(We can still find there's future in tomorrow)

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die (ah)
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa

These the things I did with my gifts
This the way I loved and I lived
These the things I did with my gifts
This the way I loved and I lived

I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa
I'm afraid to be happy and I
Couldn't care less if I was to die

Washed up on the shore
Don't need you no more
Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck
Washed up on the shore
Don't need you no more
Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck

Washed up on the shore
Don't need you no more
Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck
