Peter Hammill - All the Tiredness lyrics

All the tiredness that you've held in waiting, in abeyance, now comes rushing in. Floods the bloodstream, burrows in the brainstem, grinds down bone-deep, the exhaustion's stored from way back when. All the tiredness you've postponed forever, buried treasure, the price you pay for simply keeping your hand in. Hold the darkness back for a moment. Hold the darkness back for just as long as you can. So, suddenly very slow, suddenly can't outrun the undertow. No, suddenly I don't know anything but this sense of letting go. Low, down to the ground I go, beaten down by the years of body blows. Though I made it through the shows something got left behind, a debt I owe.... All the tiredness held in store saved up from before my old friend mounts up in the end wears you down in the end mounts up in the end.
