Lifeline

(album: Squaring The Circle - 2021)

And you say you love me
That you're thinking of me
That you'll never let me down
Then you say you need me
That you'll never leave me
That you'll always be around

All in all, we're nothing to save
Just a touch too little when it's all too late
Turning off and just flaking out
If you've fallen chasing, then just stay down

Why should I
Offer you a helping hand, a lifeline?
I'm not the good Samaritan
You and I
Should but we don't feel the need to even try
We're just the passers-by

And you keep and feed me
Don't make my heart bleed
Free love, free misery
What you call charity
Don't wish it on me
Save it for your enemies

More and more the missing link stays
Just your lazy thumbs and hang-ups on display
Crawling off animal improved
Too much evolution's living truth

Why should I offer you a helping hand, a lifeline?
I'm not the good Samaritan
You and I should but we don't feel the need to even try
We're just the passers-by

And you say you love me
That you're thinking of me
That you'll never let me down
Then you say you need me
That you'll never leave me
That you'll always be around

Why should I offer you a helping hand, a lifeline?
I'm not the good Samaritan
You and I should but we don't feel the need to even try
We're just the passers-by

(Oooh I'm not the good Samaritan)
