Primal Scream - The Center Cannot Hold Lyrics

Primal Scream - The Center Cannot Hold Lyrics 

You wanna know how it feels to be free

You crave a glimpse of eternity

A prisoner of consensual reality

It's hard to fit in when you feel so strange

Suppressed emotions mark a chemical change

Locked down to your soul

Lovers drown each other

Trying to save their wretched souls

Falling ever further

'Cause the centre cannot hold

Shrinks and guru sell you spiritual junk

This self-obsession is a rich man's curse

You've got karma to burn

Searching for meaning but the meaning is lost

You'll try to buy it whatever the cost

Keep chasing the wind

Lovers drown each other

Trying to save their wretched souls

Falling ever further

'Cause the centre cannot hold

No one knows another

We can see only what they show

Hidden depths might harbor

Sacred monsters

The center cannot hold

The center cannot hold

The center cannot hold

The center cannot hold

The center cannot hold

The center cannot hold
