Wreck 02:45
Do they still remember to leave the lights on Do they still remember? When hope was a lighthouse high upon the hill And Now the towns gone dark everyone is standing still When the tide goes out, and a wreck begins to show Their faith slips away, leaving room for addictions to grow Do they still remember to leave the lights on Do they still remember to leave the lights on Highlighting shrines and these murals on the walls Of sombre widows weeping over sleeping souls They’re haunted by shadows and familiar silhouettes Enslaved by the fear that one day soon they’ll all forget They’d burn the woods, burn the town, burn some bridges just to guide them home They’d burn the woods, burn the town, burn some bridges just to guide them home They’d burn the woods, burn the town, burn some bridges just to guide them home Home But once the choirs have sung and the poets have left Well all who remain as still broken and bereft With a murderous rage with no one to blame The years will pass and every day will always end the same They still remember to leave the lights on They’ll still remember to leave the lights on

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 It’s too easy to blame it on the X’s There’s anxiety over our legacy Will there be a pitchfork 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 in-between Are we exactly where we want to be We modern kings of the in-between We’re living to report while some lives are cut short Are we flying or falling here We’re leaving no mark just screaming in the dark We’re all just echoes here Will there be a pitchfork 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 in-between Are we exactly where we want to be We modern kings of the in-between

Conductors 03:27
For too long now we’ve relied on the sun and a burst of electricity To provide the heat we used to create oh so easily And the fireplace has blown out an all Even cold heat Is better than no warmth at all With this cold heat We could begin the thaw We felt the shock of the cold that causes pain in our bones So let’s feed the flames with a heavy dose of winter city air Even oxygen travels as a pair Let the wind rush in and spin us until these sparks are shook loose So that the fireplace can spit out hope Even cold heat Is better than no warmth at all With this cold heat We could begin the thaw And if we’re found entwined and still Stuck on life support when we’re not ill The temperature has begun to drop Take the batteries down from the clocks Draw the shutters until the outside stops Let the mercury begin to rise, to rise, to rise again Can we both agree to be conductors? Can we both agree to be conductors? So call off the ambulance, now the warmth begins to radiate Let it all be washed away, so we can float above the waves And feel it all alleviate as the flood begins to permeate When we both agree to be conductors

Better Days 01:46
Delay / Decay Daydreaming isn’t for the young The past / won’t last Standing still is haunting you Standing still is haunting you Standing still is haunting you (Chorus) Now it seems to be you are succeeding in reliving your better days But now it seems to me you are accepting of, the need to find another way So fight / Tonight Take a step in to the dark The rush / Or crush Must be better than sitting alone Must be better than sitting alone Must be better than sitting alone (Chorus) Now it seems to be you are succeeding in reliving your better days But now it seems to me you are accepting of, the need to find another way
