Lungs
02:22

But tonight, these lungs won’t work
And I can’t even drop to the ground
Do the word ive left establish this
My midnight paralysis
Is this a bed or a grave?
Is this a bed or a grave?
Am I breathing at all
Am I breathing at all
I only sleep if you’re awake
Am I moving at all
Am I moving at all
If not I need another shake
What started biblical
With the lights down low
But now this nights turned sinister
While I feel these lungs collapse
Is it only air I lack
In the middle of this panic attack
Am I breathing at all
Am I breathing at all
I only sleep if you’re awake
Am I moving at all
Am I moving at all
If not I need another shake
What started biblical
With the lights down low
But now this nights turned sinister
While I feel these lungs collapse
When I hit the floor
Tell me what I’m fighting for

Ghost in the Machine
02:26
|
|||
|
Stuck in the corner of the room
When all I need is to run
But which way do I turn
Now I’m ‘eyes-wide’ terrified
Feet stuck to the floor
If I was a map there’d be a space not coloured in
And it’s growing…
These phantom limbs are shaking wild
And it leaves me so tired
That I cant move an inch
Still I stack this fire higher – higher
Until these lungs are ablaze
Is there a ghost in this machine?
It’s growing…
It’s growing…
This is a familiar waltz and I recognise the steps
I begin to understand it
But even if I understand it
Even if I understand it
What now?
Will I sink or will I float?
Will I sink or will I float?
Will I sink or will I float?
Will I sink or will I float….Down
Swallow it down
Because now I understand it
Now I understand it
Now I understand it
What's next?

Defeat / Repeat
01:36
|
|||
|
So take this defeat
And repeat
Take this defeat
And repeat
Who needs to tear through the papers, when every day, when everything’s the same
Take this defeat
And Repeat
So take this defeat
And repeat
Same faces, same stories, same people – everything’s the same
Same mistakes, history is repeating, no-one questions that everyone’s to blame
But I fear this all will be the death of me
But I fear this all will be the death of me
Same mistakes, history is repeating, no-one questions that everyone’s to blame
I'll skip this repeat.

False Start
02:17
|
|||
|
I was standing statuesque
As a sea of people went and swum around
There’s not a map for me to navigate
Only fear that with one step I’d run aground
Whiles
She’s swinging
Moving back and forth in slow motion
Illuminating up the room
By spinning
To the song that we heard that summer
But summer will be over soon
So reload and try again
Hold your breath and float across the room
It only takes a second To be bold and brave
So give me that second to relive, over
While
She’s swinging
Moving back and forth in slow motion
Illuminating up the room
By spinning
To the song that we heard that summer
But summer will be over soon
All I need to recover from
This false start, is you
All I need to recover from
This false start, is you
All I need to recover from
This false start, is you
So please take this fucking heart
So please take this fucking heart
So please take this fucking heart
So please take this fucking heart

Better Days
01:34
|
|||
|
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

The Power's Out
03:07
|
|||
|
Come see the shadows
Behind the corners
I know these streets I know these sounds
But the powers out
And there's candles lit
Reflecting all the fear on my face
If memories are like a flash of light
Taking their turn to line up tonight
But I can give directions
I can give directions
But I can't even remember faces
I can give directions
I can give directions
But I can't even remember names
When alone and lost
When alone and lost
Give me the taste of the familiar
When alone and lost
When alone and lost
Erase these memories no longer sober
Do you love to look back when it was wild
Treading through this nostalgia
Does it seem romantic?
Does it seem romantic?
Now
When alone and lost
When alone and lost
Give me the taste of the familiar
When alone and lost
When alone and lost
Erase these memories no longer sober
There's still today
There's still today
I don't know how to live in the present
There's still today
There's still today
I don't know how to live in the present

Tear it Down
03:18
|
|||
|
These shopfront graveyards
Where only the broken come to play
As there dealing in these bruises and bones
Just to make it through the day
First they’ll stagger, then stumble and eventually they all fall down
When you’re stuck in this stutter, this stutter, this stuttering town
Its all moving the same slow way
Keep all these new year’s, give me the old days.
When they look back they will see, they will see it as an emergency
The heart of this town is on life support and they chose to pull the plug and walk away
First they’ll stagger, then stumble and eventually they all fall down
When you’re stuck in this stutter, this stutter, this stuttering town
Its all moving the same slow way
Keep all these new year’s, give me the old days.
Sound – the city wide alarm
Sound – the city wide alarm
Why build it up when we could tear it down
Why build it up when we could tear it down
It’s so much easier to tear it down
Why build it up when we could tear it down
Its always easier to tear it down
Why build it up when we could tear it down
It’s so much easier to tear it down
Why build it up when we could tear it down
It’s so much easier to tear it down
