Paper Rifles - Atlas Lyrics

I'll wait for someone I know
To tell me straight where I ought to go
It's the road less travelled, it's a tale unravelled
Wrapped again in what we call a lie
If you can't be heard in the written word
You have to wonder why

If I can't fake it and you can't take it all on you
Then Atlas was a myth, or a man, but no hero

Can't wait forever I know
It's getting late and I need something to show
For my endeavours, my success and failures
Balanced out by creeping march of time
I'll fall on my sword just to be ignored
And lay it on the line

If I can't fake it and you can't take it all on you
Then Atlas was a myth, or a man, but no hero
And I'm not saying I could do better
But I can do better than you
You could say that I'm being clever
But I'm being clever for you
