False Dawn

False Dawn Lyrics

So, it's four in
The morning
And I'm mourning
All the versions
Of my person
I could have been

From humble beginnings to humble ends
Turns out I don't amount to anything
There's a prophecy of me that's been seen
But I just don't believe it

So I'm coming
To grips with
All my failings
All the chances
I'm inhaling
And I'm wasting

From humble beginnings to humble ends
Yeah, I'm going nowhere – from whence I came
There's a prophecy of me that's been seen
But I just don't believe it

I just don't believe it

Save your faith – I'll let you down again
I'm failing you, and I'm failing myself
'Cause I'm a false dawn lying through my teeth
On the horizon. There's nothing left to see.
Save your faith – I'll let you down again

Now, I know that
All my hope is
Just a hoaxing
Every well that
I wish in
Is failure provoking

From humble beginnings to humble ends
Baby, I'm a loser. Don't mean a thing.
Prophecies of me have been seen
That I just don't believe in

Save your faith – I'll let you down again
I'm failing you, and I'm failing myself
'Cause I'm a false dawn lying through my teeth
On the horizon. There's nothing left to see.
Save your faith – I'll let you down again

If I'm willing to be lucky again
I hope that providence is luminous enough
To show me the way
To show me the way

Save your faith – I'll let you down again
I'm failing you, and I'm failing myself
'Cause I'm a false dawn lying through my teeth
On the horizon. There's nothing left to see.
Save your faith – I'll let you down again
