being there (all my 48s)

As I
Rest in the house of perfects
Trying let it flush away
And I'm
Faced with the consequence of knowing
That it's worth it all to fight and stay

And I
Sat long enough by the Thames bank
For the direction of the current to change
To change
To change

And what of the reign of this shame
It's insane
Well that's just being there
Just to be there

All you must slay, you can't tame
Is the same
That's just being there
Just to be there
Just to be here

When time
Comes knocking up on my front door
I guess I'll be the first to say

That I've
Aged a lifetime since you saw me
Not much changed since I took this name

But all
My 48s feel less heavy
On my broad shoulders now the record's straight
Now the record's straight
Straight

And what of the reign of this shame
It's insane
Well that's just being there
Just to be there

And all you must slay, you can't tame
Is the same
That's just being there
Just to be here
Just to be here
