Lyrics
Going 'round in circles here inside my head
I'm on the pathway to nowhere and the darkness that I dread
It's a breakdown, a breakdown
I scream out loud but no-one hears a sound
It's all inside my head, like a spiral spinning down
I'm heading for a breakdown, a breakdown
And the Stones sang about a 19th nervous breakdown
I'm not sure which one I'm on but it feels like more than that
When the darkness hits me, there's no coming back
The thoughts inside my head are all in shades of black
It's a breakdown, a breakdown
A breakdown, a breakdown
A kaleidoscope of thoughts spinning in my brain
Outside the skies are blue in my head it's rain
It's a breakdown, another bloody breakdown.
I try to explain but it makes no sense to you
I feel myself imploding and there's nothing I can do
I'm heading for a breakdown, a breakdown
And the Stones sang about a 19th nervous breakdown
I'm not sure which one I'm on but it feels like more than that
When the darkness hits me, there's no coming back
The thoughts inside my head are all in shades of black
It's a breakdown, a breakdown
A breakdown, a breakdown
I, just want to breakaway, hideaway
Escape, from the world and the pain and fadeaway
into my breakdown
A breakdown
It's all inside my head, like a spiral spinning down
A kaleidoscope of thoughts spinning in my brain
Breakdown, breakdown
I'm on the pathway to nowhere and the darkness that I dread
I scream out loud but no-one hears a sound
Breakdown. Breakdown
And the Stones sang about a 19th nervous breakdown
I'm not sure which one I'm on but it feels like more than that
When the darkness hits me, there's no coming back
The thoughts inside my head are all in shades of black
It's a breakdown, a breakdown
A breakdown, a breakdown
A breakdown
A Breakdown

Richard sits in the doorway, bottle in his hand
People pass him by, they don't understand
He served his country, in a foreign land
In his head he's still there, hiding in the sand
CHORUS
Richard drinks to forget his pain
to block the memories from his brain
The things he saw, the cries he heard
wonders what he was fighting for
Dismembered babies from the bombs that fell
Richard says that he lived through hell
No-one cares, now he's back home
And Richard sits in the doorway, all alone
Richard goes unnoticed, no-one gives a damn
about the way he's feeling or the horrors in his mind
He was given a gun and bullets, told to make a stand
Richard came back from conflict a very different man
CHORUS
Richard drinks to forget his pain
to block the memories from his brain
The things he saw, the cries he heard
wonders what he was fighting for
Dismembered babies from the bombs that fell
Richard says that he lived through hell
No-one cares, now he's back home
And Richard sits in the doorway, all alone.
