Bricks 03:09
These four walls Might have some cracks beyond repair What started as a bad dream Is now our modern nightmare They’re sole focus To see their names up in lights That they can’t feel the weight Of the walls as they’re crashing down tonight They have to hold They have to hold There's too much to lose It’s time to figure out if we can see it through They have to hold They have to hold And when the bricks fall - I hope they fall on you Fall on you I hope they fall on you SO who needs a circus We’ve got clowns at the wheel Telling jokes, while they crash Would be funny if it wasn’t real They have to hold They have to hold There’s too much to lose It’s time to figure out if we can see it through They have to hold They have to hold So watch the bricks fall Once it all collapses in Then hidden deep beneath the waves Of sandstone Who knows what we will find When all they’ll leave behind Is a pile of shining skeletons They have to hold Before we all fall through Before we all fall through Before we all fall through

I’m semi-conscious, but I’m sentimental With all that that entails The only beat is the electric alarm As I’m slipping down this Glasgow Coma Scale Is this how it feels to be a statue in the lamplight I’m singing in my sleep But I’m frozen, patiently waiting While I’m sedate, I’m sedate Can you relate While I’m sedate, I’m sedate Can you relate I need a twitch Any kind of response As my organs start to fail And all around is the sound of alarms I’m slipping down this Glasgow coma scale Is this how it feels to be a statue in the lamplight I’m singing in my sleep But I’m frozen, patiently waiting While I’m sedate, I’m sedate Can you relate While I’m sedate, I’m sedate Can you relate Is this how it feels to be a statue in the lamplight I’m singing in my sleep But I’m frozen, patiently waiting My breath is shallow, shallow My breath is shallow, shallow What I really need is an emergency to break the daydream But does it take a fire To thaw me out Is this how it feels to be a statue in the lamplight I’m singing in my sleep But I’m frozen, patiently waiting While I’m sedate, I’m sedate Can you relate

Choke 02:47
Spinning round on autopilot struggling to choose I’m a dreamer doused in alcohol just to survive the news That the left can’t get it right And the right is all that’s left My fire is long burnt out And all that’s left is smoke So I’ll choke Go outside and look around This future isn’t what it needs to be So go outside and stand your ground This future isn’t what it used to be Now popularity is measured by the outrage that you show To the never ending circus freaks and all the shit they throw While I don’t have much to say This changes day by day Id love to shout them out But the words stick in my throat And I choke Go outside and look around This future isn’t what it needs to be So go outside and stand your ground This future isn’t what it used to be Wake me when its over now Before I choke Go outside and look around This future isn’t what it needs to be So go outside and stand your ground This future isn’t what it used to be

I’m barely ageing Barely ageing barely ageing Yet I’m barely breathing underneath Do you still want me? Do you still need me? Do you still love me While I’m spitting hope through gritted teeth Well, everything must go Everything must go Take my love and my hate Everything’s for sale In my auctioneering approach to life Am I a heart for hire? A heart for hire? Am I everything you could desire? Do you still want me? Do you still need me? Do you still love me While I’m spitting hope through gritted teeth Well, everything must go Everything must go Take my love and my hate Everything’s for sale In my auctioneering approach to life If you’re not buying what I’m selling If you’re not buying what I’m selling If you’re not buying what I’m selling I only care if you don’t care When I’m auctioneering Auctioneering Auctioneering Auctioneering

Will someone please inject Some urgency to keep us awake We are the generation why bother We were the kids from the eighties Are we exactly where we want to be We modern Kings So judge us on our success Its too easy to blame it on the ‘X’s’ There’s anxiety over our legacy Will it be a pitch fork or a halo A pitchfork or a halo A pitchfork or a halo Waiting for us Are we exactly where we want to be We modern Kings of The Inbetween Are we exactly where we want to be We modern Kings of The Inbetween Just living to report While some lives get cut short Are we flying or falling here? Were leaving no mark Just screaming in the dark Are we all just echoes here? Will it be a pitch fork or a halo A pitchfork or a halo A pitchfork or a halo Waiting for us Are we exactly where we want to be We modern Kings of The Inbetween Are we exactly where we want to be We modern Kings of The Inbetween
