Verse
You are a ghost in evening clothes
In your little room
You sway and swing
Like a boxer in the ring
​
Break no bones
Repay that loan
It’s a foul lousy deal
A useless currency
​
Pre-chorus
So it was, so it is
It’ll always be like this
​
Chorus
It’s not for you
To approve reality
Not for you
To claim destiny
What’s not for you
Is not for you
​
Verse
Try to tame and comprehend
The things you despise
For your past knows
Exactly what you owe
​
Lamp in hand
You search the land
It’s a ploughed muddy field
A graveyard’s memory
​
Chorus
It’s not for you
To approve reality
Not for you
To claim destiny
What’s not for you
Is not for you
​
Bridge
You think, you feel
Can’t tell what’s real
You jog, you sweat
To defeat regret
​
Chorus
It’s not for you
To approve reality
Not for you
To claim destiny
What’s not for you
Is not for you
