Róisín Murphy
Alternate State
Before it's too late and I hesitate
Remember I came
From a small town

I guess I'd have to say, I'm still running away
From the old mentality
From a mode of thinking

You opened my eyes, opened my mind
Got a new point of view, now baby
And it's all about you

All the things I've always thought
Have all come to naught
Got a new perception, yeah
Almost a new reflection

I used to be afraid to fly
I'm still a little scared of darkness
I used to be afraid to fly
I'm still a little scared of darkness

Just follow the sound, guess I got around
On my own initiative
But there was something missing
An alternate state, alternative ways
Uncovering new sensation, yeah
Discover my true potential

Opening doors, breaking down walls
'Till there's no glass ceiling on
It's the only feeling

Got out of there fast, I ran from the past
Some pieces of me got left behind
And something will always be there
