I still remember
The taste in my mouth
A new disappointment
The feeling without
I'm so lost
I need a hand
Someone to hold
Anyone who'll understand
I can't get this back
Get this back
The clutch in my soul
So empty and wide
Unable to find
The beauty inside
This city
Is not my friend
I can't keep moving
These goalposts again
Am I just broken down
Broken down
Fool on the hill
Still wasting my time
Unable to break
Their troubles or mine
Stranger things
Have happened at sea
Don't mind him
Don't mind me
We're all just
Floating on
Floating on
So let her pull me
Onto the rocks
With salt in my hair
I'll praise what I've got
She gave
Me no choice
But she has called me here
With summer's voice
Am I just waiting here
Waiting here
Am I just waiting here
Waiting here

The first day I arrived
I saw your spirit in the shadows of
The harsh fluorescent light
But every road must end
I’m tired of expecting the pain to come
And visit me again
But I’m stronger
Than you ever gave me credit for
And I’ve spent my hours wailing
On my childhood bedroom floor
And now you’ve sailed so far off from
Our unknown
With your house and your life and your kids
And your accelerated milestones
Well I hope that you know
And thank God I survived
I’m moving further than they ever could
Accomplish in their lives
But still you haunt my dreams
I’m tried to understand these images
To find out what they mean
And I miss my friends so fucking much
You wouldn’t know
I’m a nomad now
You’ve taken so much away
I worked so hard for
But I won’t give the satisfaction
Of giving up this chain reaction
I can still repair this broken soul
But I won’t waste my breath on them
And I won’t make these mistakes again
But I can’t hate the beauty inside of you
No I can’t hate the beauty inside of you
Because I know I’ll find my way back through
This weathered dirt
Restrained by no one who cares
To count my worth
And I’m so sorry for trying to care
But I can’t take our friendship
And bring it elsewhere
And I hope to meet you both some day
I hope to meet you both some day
I hope that you know
I hope that you know my dear
I hope that you know
That I’ll miss you for all these years
Well I hope that you know

Sit down
There is no way back
Turn around
You are the monster of the pack
Fuck them all
They don’t deserve to kneel at our feet
We don’t need
These responsibilities
Cos they’re just strangers in our room
And we’ll be seeing them out soon
We are the monarchs of our street
And when we fuck
We feel the beat
No more lovers left for dead
We can make our own instead
We’ll be dancers in the night
We’ll be dancers in the night
And you always took me for another
Let me sway
To the break
To the saints that led
My heart astray
Cos there will always be a part
A creeping darkness in my heart
A port to let the rains descend
And flow right in
We are the ones who were displaced
But there's a rhythm to this place
A chance to give into the feel
And let them in
Stop listening to them
Listening to us
Listening to us
Stop listening to them
Listening to us
Listening to us

I’m afraid the storm will come
And blow me back towards
This dying sun
Unlock the secrets of the past
The minds fragility
Not built to last
Please throw the switch off and let it go
We’re the ones who know
We’re the ones who know
We’ll build it one piece at a time
Because what’s yours is mine
What’s yours is mine
Your faults
Always painted white inside the lines
A hibernating wraith that dined inside
We stayed awake for seven years
Another break another month of fear
Of missing out our finest days
Under this shade
Under this shade
Unloved to take
I'll let them fade away
It's not the mask I'll wear
To show my bravest face
I'm sick of hiding them away
I need to let your cold embrace
Give way to warmer days
And salt the earth
And fade away
We can't wait for summer rains
To make new memories
To make a change
I'm still the man I was before
But I can't see myself here
Any more
I need to turn this all around
Before I lose my ground
Before I lose my ground
Before I lose my ground
And face this unprepared to change
I'll still regret calling your name
I'll still regret calling your name

I’m
I’m ashamed
Just to speak out
Because this distance
Is killing me
Take me away
In the blackout
Nobody else
Needs to see
I’m just a man
With no anchor
No place to call
My own
I can’t resolve
All my senses
Please steal my heart
Take me home
Take me home
It’s more than we could say
It’s better than the dawn that starts to break
A casual reminder of how I feel each and every day
Another star to guide us on our way
And look with pride at what we made
When we've grown old
And there's nothing left
Hurtling around
A burdened star
We'll stay attached
Gripping tighter
Before the lights descend
And break apart
But we'll be okay
When the waves crash
My darling you're all I need
Five years from now
We'll be stronger
The future's not ours to see
But I'm not scared when you're with me
And we'll always change
In the way
That your parents used to say
And I can't wait
For our world
And we'll still be here
Still be here
Still be here
Still be here
If that's what you deserve
I spent the whole night in a seizure
Wanting to tell you what I
Thought about your eyes
And how they made my chest burst
Every time
You looked at me
Cos you're a force of nature
And I'm always amazed
And afraid
But I don't want to wait any longer
To say what I need to say to you
But I
But I missed my chance

My spirit’s draining
As we walked across the sand,
Darling
I needed shelter
When you took another hand
Don’t you
Try to remember
All these arrogant designs
We can live without each other
But we can’t live without our minds
We need
Love
I feel it burning out
I feel it burning out
This race is done
There is nothing they can do to stop us
We're not together now
I don't remember how
To belong to any one
With something lost
Before we won
(We need)
Love

You're a saint
You know you saved my life that night
You know
You're a superhero
Banished from the hive brain
Where do they bury our souls
When we expire
Do they cross the gorge that
Leads beyond the predatory sky
Cos all the words are falling off my
Fragile tongue onto the concrete floor
My resting place won't be the same again
And all our friends are sat below
In the endless summer's glow
And I'll wish them all the best days to arrive
And see them in the afterlife
I'm a fool
I fucked things up so badly for us two
And I know why
My hindsight is more painful
Than my pride
Let's give them all new names
And relocate their final days
To somewhere they can start to feel alive
Our anger doesn't have to be
The way they will remember me
I need to fix this before I say goodnight
And see them in the afterlife
Burn their wings
I'm terrified of the power they still
Hold over me
This LCD has been my only
Company
And I have so much more to give
And I have so much more to give
And I have so much more to give
And I have so much more to give

I’ve finally found
What I’m looking for
If all the space and time between us had
Rid us of our problems
We’d be one
But if they’ve found their passion
Then why does that make me passionless
I’m sick of saying nothing
I’m tired of hearing
Vacuous excuses
And attempts to reconnect
They let eleven years go by
Not saying a single thing
I will never be one of them
I am just a human being
And I gave them so much more time
Than they deserved
If all the hours spent on motorways
And rainy service stations
Corresponded with their worth
So where are you tonight
When I’m seizing every day I have
(You’re not alone, not alone,
Everyone here loves you)
I put the past where it belongs
And found a place with friends who’ll
Always have my back
(You’re not alone, not alone,
Everyone here loves you)
And they let eleven years go by
Not saying a single thing
I will never be one of them
I am just a human being
All these videos and photographs
Won’t bury our mistakes
But we’re not gonna live forever
And we’ve got no time to waste
When our paths are crossed and overused
And the nights get longer with each move
There will come a day we won’t have to choose
And I hope you get to where you’ve always wanted
And I can’t wait to see you soon
And I can’t wait to see you soon
But if I let you go
I know I'll never feel the same again
It's hard to lose a lover more than when you've
Made the work to lose them as a friend
These will be my last words for you
I can't bear to fall apart
At your name
Or your face
Or the things I can't replace
Because I'm certain that there's something out there
Moving into reach
Oh my God I know there's someone out there
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
And they let eleven years go by
Not saying a single thing
I will never be one of them
I am just a human being
All these videos and photographs
Won’t bury our mistakes
But come on now
We all love you
All things are falling into place
When our paths are crossed and overused
And the nights get longer with each move
There will come a day we won’t have to choose
And I hope you get to where you’ve always wanted
And I can’t wait to see you soon
You're not alone
You're not alone

Faces overwhelmed
The Light seems to scatter off
The surface of
The mountain where we lay
Wonders deconstructed
Alone left in these
Ruins to decay
Take my only conscience
Remove all these harrowing permissions
And understand how little we have left
We will burn our village
Remove the locks and pillage our
New conquest
Our home away from
They are
Almost perfect
Removed from our humanity
A role model for all we’ve come to hate
You can
Find another
A wound to fix
Another leg
To break
Say it again I dare you
I’m not one of your friends
This is the way it started
This is the way it ends

When looking out we saw the cause
Can you let my heart beat for a second
Even if it’s connected to yours
The plates are shifting underfoot
And I don’t have the energy to stop them
Even if they’re telling me I should
What did you think
Of my tattered clothes and bed sheets
Of my lack of space to drink
And I’m ashamed
Of all my false starts
I’m not exactly sure
What I’m here for
With all these broken parts
And now I’m sleeping with your ghost
Needing nothing more than cold encounters
Praying for the day I turn to stone
I can’t afford what they have sold
Because our lives are spilling through our fingers
And I’m so terrified of growing old
When does this end
Does it disappear completely
Or do I have the chance to make amends
And I’m afraid
Of what lies ahead
Do I tell them that I love them
Or do I lose my closest friend
Take this from me
And just forget my name
I don’t want their opinions
I don’t deserve to feel your pain
Give me a chance
And let me leave with grace
If our souls are twinned as one
Then why does this link fade
