Lyrics

Mysterons

[Intro]

Portishead

Portishead

Portishead

[Verse 1]

Inside, you're pretending

Crimes have been swept aside

Somewhere

Where they can forget

[Verse 2]

Divine upper reaches

Still holding on

This ocean

Will not be grasped

[Chorus]

All for nothing

Did you really want

Did you really want

Did you really want

Did you really want

[Verse 3]

Refuse to surrender

Strung out until ripped apart

Who dares

Who dares to condemn?

[Chorus]

All for nothing

Did you really want

Did you really want

Did you really want

Did you really want
