Strange Goodbye
04:26

Before I leave this town
Slip the rope before I run aground
Going down without a sound
Lock the door before we hit the ground
Though I know that it's not right
I'm gonna see you one last time
I burned the notebook that I found
The drawings and dreams you need around you
A stranger's footprint on your floor
Watching your face as you lock the door again
Though we know that it's not right
I'm gonna see you one last time
Turn your face a strange goodbye
Feels like our grave in neon light
Though we know that it's not right
I'm gonna get you off my mind
Turn your face a strange goodbye
Feels like our grave in neon light
Before I leave this town

Sweet Dreams

We watch while you sleep
We see each move you make
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Outside the lights are burning brightly
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Every thought you've had
is just another path we gave you
Sweet dreams
You know you're free to be
Anything we've made you want to be
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
We're working while you sleep and
in to your thoughts we creep
We find you
Sweet dreams
Our gentle arms are wrapped around you
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Dreams
Dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Outside the lights are burning brightly
Our gentle arms are all around you
And now you're free to be
Anything we've made you want to be
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams

When I ask myself who you are
I just get grainy photographs
Leave the briefcase by the car
Don't ask questions remove the wire
I'm not doing this for myself
I'm not doing this for myself
I'm not doing this for myself
I'm not doing this for myself
Burning papers on the ground
Got devices recording sound
The smile on their faces when they're found
I love
But
I'm not doing this for myself
I'm not doing this for myself
I'm not doing this for myself
I'm not doing this for myself
Tonight
I don't care
I'm alive
They can stare
Tonight
I don't care
My last night
The final dare
Tonight
I don't care
I'm alive
They can stare
Tonight
I don't care
My last night
The final dare
Tonight
I don't care
I'm alive
They can stare
Tonight
I don't care
I'm alive

Perfect Wreck
04:49
|

Getting tired getting tired
of all these recurring intervals
The only time that I smile's
when I'm heading for the door
Every time I try to like you
Every time You want to take more
Gonna buy gonna buy
Gonna buy some new clothes to wear
Gotta fill gotta fill fill fill
this gaping hole
Every time You close your eyes
Every time You've fallen to the floor
You keep me hanging keep me hanging
Keep me chasing empty promises
Paint a picture in my mind
Of the way that it could be
Every time You move the lines
Every time Again I'm caught again
Thought you were human
but you're cracked
Steel shuttered fears
just bounce right back
One time I tried to break your neck
I was remade your perfect-
Twisting wires starting fires
Azure smoke and hot machinery
Slash the tyres stop the lies
Steal the clock and run away
Every time I close my eyes
Every time Waking up in the same place
Thought you were human
but you're cracked
Steel shuttered fears
just bounce right back
One time I tried to break your neck
I was remade your perfect wreck
Thought you were human
but you're cracked
Steel shuttered fears
just bounce right back
One time I tried to break your neck
I was remade your perfect-
Getting tired getting tired
of all these recurring intervals
The only time that I smile's
When I'm heading for the door
Every time I try to like you
Every time You want to take more
Every time I try to like you
Every time You want to take more

Nocturn

I've been here again and again but
Today it's all shaking I'm waiting
For you
You gave me a reason to run and
I should have but here I am waiting
For you
I'm waiting I'm waiting
Come for me I'm waiting
I'm waiting I'm waiting
For you
They pass by
I look to the windows
And I see light
It's quarter to two
I know that you meant it
You said that you'd be here
It's cold and I'm ready
I'm waiting for you
It's cold and I'm ready
I'm waiting for you
It's cold and I'm ready
I'm ready
For what I must do
I'm waiting I'm waiting
Come for me I'm waiting
I'm waiting I'm waiting
For you
I'm waiting I'm waiting
Come for me I'm waiting
I'm waiting I'm waiting
For you

Monster in the palace
Holding on tight to everything
Chairs are running
From this house where you are king
Something has to be done
has to be done
About this charismatic megafauna
Something has to be done
what will be done?
About this charismatic megafauna
Something has to be done
has to be done
About this charismatic megafauna
Something has to be done
has to be done
About this charismatic megafauna
Monster in the party
Handing out pieces of his mind
You can tell he
Does it cause he's so kind
Hiding in plain sight
Watch those hocus pocus hands
You can tell it's
Gonna be a late one
This is all you'll get
All you're gonna get from me
This is all you'll get
All you're gonna get from me
This is all you'll get
All you're gonna get from me
This is all you'll get
All you're gonna get from me
Something has to be done
Something about this
charismatic megafauna
Something has to be done
Something about this
charismatic megafauna
Something has to be done
Something about this
charismatic megafauna
Someone has to get a
A big gun
Something's telling me
Let them walk around around
like they own the place
Something's telling me
Let 'em walk around around
like they own the place
Something's telling me
You gotta let 'em walk around around like they own the place
Something's telling me
You gotta let them run around like they own the place!
Own the place, don't they?
They own the place don't they?
Yeah

We pull the net across the street
Tarmac burns bare feet
We cast long shadows then
I dream of strangeness
We wait, we wait, we wait, we wait, we wait
Lost in long ago
You're getting too close
You never escape
We wait, we wait, we wait, we wait, we wait
We burn our schoolbooks on the beach
We see the future in the flames
We cast stones in the sea
I dream of strangeness
I run, I run, I run, I run, I run
Lost in long ago
You're getting too close
You never escape
I run, I run, I run, I run, I run
We lived a lifetime
We lived a lifetime
While we waited to start
We lived a lifetime
We lived a lifetime
While we waited to start
We wait, we wait, we wait, we wait, we wait
(We lived a lifetime while we waited to start we lived a lifetime)
Remembering a thousand promises
(Lost in long ago)

Looking up
The sky feels solid today
Shifting stars
I can't find my way
Feel the life
All around you
Is it real
Is it real
I can see the
I can see the light falling through
Take a cup
Feel your way around and in
Quick, drink it up
Take it up
Bring it in
Sweat it out
The stars are moving nearer
I can see the
I can see the light falling through

Under The River
04:26
|

The way you walk into the square
and enter glass spaces
All doors are open to you up there
Take what you want and don't care
And you so high beyond compare
Is there anything to stop you now?
Don't look down
Is there anything to stop you now?
How does it feel when you look down
Could you find my face?
Are we separate
Surface bound
A shadow grows your time is done
The swollen river lies
But I won't leave you behind in dust
There's nothing left here only rust
We / We will become free
We will be / We will become
We / We will become free
We will be / We will become
A hundred arms have cut you down
Did you see my face?
Thousands of voices that scream one sound
I will be replaced
Under the river and outside time
It's too late to change
But I won't leave you behind in dust
There's nothing left here only rust
We / We will become free
We will be / We will become
We / We will become free
We will be / We will become

A Clearing
05:11
|

Frightening interference
Something came between us
The world is full of voices
Permanent on call
We ran for days together
We came upon a clearing
Somewhere to lay your head down
And watch as darkness falls
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
With all of England dreaming
Standing at the sky side
Naked in the starlight
The pause before the fall
When did you stop dreaming?
Where did it all go wrong?
Pining in the starlight
Forgotten who you are
When did you stop dreaming?
Where did it all go wrong?
Hiding in the half light
Forgotten what you're for
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
Half the world is sleeping
Frozen at the skyside
Blinking in the starlight
The pause before the fall
We ran for years together
We came upon a clearing
Somewhere to lay your head down
And wait as darkness falls
