WHAT'S THE USE IN MY ADVICE THAT YOU JUST TURN DOWN. SWAYING TO A SERENADE YOU NEVER HEAR A SOUND. BUT I KNOW
YOU KNOW NOW. GENERATE THE FALSE ALARMS. THE VERDICT COUNTERFEIT. FLASHING LIGHTS TO BRING YOU BACK FROM WHO YOU'RE RUNNING WITH. BUT I
KNOW YOU KNOW NOW. TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING. TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING US. MOVING TO A CAGED MISTAKE EXPRESSION ISOLATES. OWING UP FOR
DEALS YOU STRUCK FOR DEALS YOU CAN'T REPLACE. BUT I KNOW YOU KNOW NOW. TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING. TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING US. AND YOU
CAN'T SAY NO. YOU CAN'T SAY. AND YOU CAN'T SAY NO. YOU CAN'T. YOU CAN'T SAY. TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING. TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING. TELL ME WHY
YOU'RE LEAVING. (WHY YOU WANT TO LEAVE SO BAD). TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING US. (WHY YOU WANT TO LEAVE SO BAD).

. . .


RIP UP THE PROOF BEFORE
THE DAMAGE IS DONE. DON'T STOP TALKING WHEN NO ONE'S LISTENING. WHAT YOU WANT. RED EYES ARE WORN THIN. YOU'RE THROWN OFF THE DEEP END. GONE
UNDER. YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE. LOOK FOR THE QUICK ESCAPE. RIP UP THE PROOF BEFORE THE DAMAGE IS DONE. JUDGEMENT YOUR FALSE SENSE. YOU GO ON
THE DEFENCE. YOU DON'T WANT. YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE. LOOK FOR THE QUICK ESCAPE. MOVE ON.

. . .


I don't wanna say
If it goes away
And I don't wanna try
You don't have to lie

And I don't think I said
What I should have said
I never caught you out
Though I had my doubts

Wait
When there's nothing left to waste
On a promise I can make
You don't want no one this way
Wait

And I don't see inside
Where you try to hide
And I don't wanna do
What you asked me to

Wait
When there's nothing left to waste
On a promise I can make
You don't want no one this way
Wait

We see each other from the corners of the room
I think that when this mess is over
Never make a move
When all I see is broken down to every size
I will remember how I got here
Love in every eye
I don't remember if the rest are ever good enough
And I don't remember if the rest will ever mean as much

And I don't wanna say
If it goes away
And I don't wanna try
You don't have to lie

. . .


Heading Westwards towards the sun
When the past starts to bleed into one
And the rest will disagree
How your innocence can sway easily

But oh I can tell
Your words so well
And all I can see
Is that I
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry

Heading Westwards towards the sun
Where we're going everything comes undone
We were lost from the start
We won't be here when the rest falls apart

But oh I can tell
Your words so well
And all I can see
Is that I
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry

(And I will track you down)

Run so long
Don't run away from me
How long
Don't run away from me

Oh I can tell
Your words so well
And all I can see
Is that I
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry

. . .


WHAT THE REST DID I WAS AVERAGE. BUT I DON'T MIND. DRAWN ON TWO SIDES WITHOUT DISGUISE. BUT I DON'T
MIND. BUT I, I SPIT FIRE. ON LOVERS AND LIARS. AND YOU, YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME. AND I, I FIND IT EASY. EASY. YOU'RE RECRUITED HEAD DILUTED. THROUGH A
GLASS EYE. DREAMS IN FICTION, LOST RELIGION. BUT I DON'T MIND. CAUSE I, I SPIT FIRE. ON LOVERS AND LIARS. AND YOU, YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME. AND I, I FIND IT
EASY. EASY. WHAT THE REST DID I WAS AVERAGE. BUT I DON'T MIND. RUNS ON NO SLEEP DRAWN TO DEFEAT. BUT I DON'T MIND. AND I, I SPIT FIRE. ON LOVERS AND
LIARS. AND YOU, YOU DON'T DECEIVE ME. AND I, I FIND IT EASY. EASY.

. . .


MISPLACED. GIVEN CHANCES YOU WON'T TAKE. SHY AWAY FROM THE HEARTACHE.
JUST A MEANS TO AN END. YOUR QUICK FIX. IN THE RING OF A CONFLICT. WITH NOTHING TO WORK WITH. AND NOTHING IN MIND. AND THEN WE'LL RISE. WITH FIRE
IN OUR EYES. AND TAKE YOU BY SURPRISE. MAKE UP DECEIVE. A VOICE TO RECEIVE. A LIGHT THAT NEVER LEAVES. SLOW RIGHT DOWN. LOST LOVE. WITH LITTLE TO
SPEAK OF. THESE FEELINGS OF BAD BLOOD. MUST GO QUICKLY AWAY. YOUR LOOSE ENDS. REALISING YOUR TRUE FRIENDS. IN A WAR THAT NO ONE WINS. LET THE
SLEEPING DOGS LIE. AND THEN WE'LL RISE. WITH FIRE IN OUR EYES. AND TAKE YOU BY SURPRISE. MAKE UP DECEIVE. A VOICE TO RECEIVE. I LIGHT THAT NEVER
LEAVES. SLOW RIGHT DOWN.

. . .


BREACHED IN STRAIGHT LINES. ASKED TO STOP. TUNNEL VISION. WASTED UP. WE GOT LOST. WE
FOUND OURSELVES. SURROUNDED BY THINGS. GETTING CLOSER. ALL AROUND US. BLINDING LIGHTS BEGAN TO SET FIRE TO OUR MINDS. LONG DIRECTIONS MIXING
UP. POINTS OF REFERENCE BOUND AND STUCK. TALKS TO NOTHING FALLS APART. CONSTANT QUESTIONS FROM THE START. WE GOT LOST. WE FOUND OURSELVES.
SURROUNDED BY THINGS. GETTING CLOSER. ALL AROUND US. BLINDING LIGHTS BEGAN TO SET FIRE TO OUR MINDS. I DON'T WANT TO BE MYSELF. WHAT'S DONE IS
DONE. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE TO ME. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE BECAUSE. WE GOT LOST. WE FOUND OURSELVES. SURROUNDED BY THINGS.
GETTING CLOSER. ALL AROUND US. BLINDING LIGHTS BEGAN TO SET FIRE TO OUR MINDS.

. . .


LOOK BRAVE LOOK BRAVE MY INNOCENT. DON'T
TALK THESE WALLS ARE THIN. SHIELD YOUR EARS. SHIELD YOUR EARS FROM YOUR VERTIGO. WON'T HEAR US ROAM ROUND HERE AGAIN. JUST STAY WHERE YOU
ARE. DON'T START, DON'T START. SO HERE WE ARE NOW. MISGUIDED MISGUIDED CASUALTY. ALWAYS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT TV. TAKE A BREAK TAKE A BREAK IN
LUXURY. SATISFACTION FOREVER GUARANTEED. JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE. DON'T START, DON'T START. SO HERE WE ARE NOW.

. . .


LOST THE PLOT. WITHOUT
REGARD OR THOUGHT. NEVER GETTING CAUGHT. NEVER YOUR OWN. ENDLESS THREATS. FROM A NERVOUS WRECK. SHOWING NO REGRETS. NEVER ALONE.
FORCES DARK FORCES ARE EVERYWHERE. THEY WON'T STOP. THEY WON'T STOP TIL YOU'RE HERE. SLY REMARKS. A REACTION STARTS. WHEN THINGS FALL APART.
PAST ANY DOUBT. WELL AWARE. A NAÏVE GRUDGE TO BEAR. A DEADLOCKED AFFAIR. WITH OR WITHOUT. FORCES DARK FORCES ARE EVERYWHERE. THEY WON'T
STOP. THEY WON'T STOP TIL YOU'RE HERE. DON'T SAVE YOURSELF FOR SOMEONE ELSE. THESE THINGS I SAY ARE MEANT TO PROVE THIS WEIGHT I HAVE WILL FALL
FROM VIEW.

. . .


i am waiting in a world you don’t want
suffocating by an endless weak spot
please know, up here,
my hands are tied up too from

all i can see
makes it hard for me
the last one to say
good son
one more day

you know i am here, but i am losing
faith in what i see you celebrating
i know, up here,
i’ll be proven guilty

. . .


SURFACE TAKE TO THE BREEZE. OFF HAND MISDEEDS. PRUDENT
MOTHERLY EYE, HAS PASSED ME BY. BUILD ON ALL OF YOUR GUARDS. HOPELESS DIE HARD. CRAWLING LOW ON ALL FOURS. RESOLVE MY SCORES. VACANT
TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH. DEUCES FALLOUT. SILENT SILHOUETTE. YOU GIVE YOU GET. TRIGGERED BREAK TO THE HEAD. WE'VE BEEN MISLEAD. KEEP UP FAST AS YOU
CAN. ON FALSE COMMANDS. AND I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE. YOU PUT ME UP FOR RELEASE. BUT I JUST WANT SOME PEACE. FOR US.
