Lyrics Manic Street Preachers

Manic Street Preachers

The Descent (pages 1 & 2)

Will my kingdom disappear and fade away

Will sleep overcome the hurt and then decay

I can't be poisoned and you will not make me cry

I've cleansed my ugliness & I've cleansed my paranoia

The winner takes it all

My baby teeth are gone

Into a better place

That I have yet to go

Will I burn or will I pray

Will sleep consume my waking days

Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent

I hope I'm making sense

I've lost my last defence

This is my last descent

Have my expectations gone too far again

Do I have the courage of the books I've read

Do you understand the pain we're going through

There is no need to leave us* beaten black and blue

The winner takes it all

My baby teeth are gone

Into a better place

That I have yet to go

Will I burn or will I pray

Will sleep consume my waking days

Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent

I hope I'm making sense

I've lost my last defence

This is my last descent

This is my last descent

I hope I'm making sense

I've lost my last defence

The pages that you left
