Only the End of the World Can Save Us Now 01:32
lyrics
buy track
These empty streets sing a promise I don’t believe And these nights don’t seem to get better that I can see We’re risking it all for what might have been And the blood and the sweat is our comfort If I could reach back with my hand, Grab hold of the past then I would, But then, I’ve often said that Our story can’t be changed and the things we’ve done are written down There was never any voices to guide, nor a saviour that could take a bow There won’t be any penance to pay, nor a follow up for the corrupt And to all of us who live in dismay at the hate that exists- it’s fucked And at times like this its true There’s only one thing left to do Everything is burning down, so let’s stand here at the bow And sing it loud Only the end of the world can save us now Only the end of the world can save us now

Tough // Perfect Creatures 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Can’t stop with the light still on Burn out, all the feeling’s gone, That wicked smile across your teeth Holds back melancholy praise In those eyes I can see the pain of empathy Of losing your belief Tongue juggling all the words that’re lining up But I swallow them back down with the ache It’s in my blood it’s in my love Haven’t you given me enough? Black shirts distort the world I see Somewhere in deluded misery They never told me life would be, They never told me life would be tough So what can we do when it feels like everything is falling? Surrounded by the people that I love Still I can’t help but feel alone A ghost living in skin The warmth is spreading thin Around these perfect creatures who can’t see the mess we’re in Open your eyes, This train derailed some time ago I lost my self-control You’ve agonised, The pain of leaving all of this behind, The pieces don’t align, With the sympathy in your mind It’s in your blood, it’s in your love, But I think you’ve given me enough, Does my pain distort the world you see? Somewhere in our deluded misery They never told us life would be, No, they never tell you life will be- Tough.

Simple Mistake // Point of Desire 03:15
lyrics
buy track
How many lies does it take to own up to a simple mistake? You’d know So now I’m caught up for the sake of these emotions misplaced My only sanctum decayed I’ve been feeling the rush of this moment I bled from my fingers You drew all the air from my chest Still I won’t give up easy This ideal slips from me I wake to the same distress Has this time all been meaningless? I self-medicate By pulling the threads Of this bedrock apart A cathartic embrace Nothing washes away The absence of art I’ve been feeling the rush of this moment I bled from my fingers You drew all the air from my chest Still I won’t give up easy This ideal slips from me I wake to the same distress Has this time all been meaningless? I’ll force my way till my lungs get sore Work my bad knees till I’m laid out on the floor We always thought we were made for something more Been feeling the rush of this moment I bled from my fingers You drew all the air from my chest Still I won’t give up easy This ideal slips from me I wake to the same distress Miss feeling the rush of the moment The haze of disaster I Now bathe in the life of stress As the years drag us from the point of desire I’ll subserve for my next pay cheque Wear this tie like a noose round my neck

Uncomfortable // Black Tears 04:05
lyrics
buy track
It’s too late to be seductive So why you reaching out to me now? You only call when there’s been someone else to put you out in the end Casting off my armour that I’ve built up for this reason Cause god you know that self-destruction’s back in, back in season And you’re on your way Here’s to making more mistakes, But am I wishing that I could be someone I’m not? So come inside and take a load off, Been wasting time waiting for you to call You always sigh when you are full of doubt It won’t be uncomfortable to talk about You still claim we’re getting nowhere It’s insane we ever made it this far But I could be lighting all my cigarettes from the spark that’s in the air And you’re breaking down my armour that I’ve built up for this reason, Cause we both know that self-destruction’s back in, back in season, And you’re on your way, here’s to making more mistakes But am I wishing that we could be something we’re not? So come inside and take a load off Been wasting time waiting for you to call You always sigh when you are full of doubt It won’t be uncomfortable to talk about And I bet that someone wishes you’d do the same Cause my shoulders can’t bear all the weight of our pain And I’m losing track of the silence as it brings us back to reality The black tears on your cheeks that I hate to see The cold breath in the air as you lie to me The empty smile you unveil when you’ve had enough The promise we made for not giving up The flood at the gates as you beckon me The hand you extend that could set us free The broken smiles we unveil when we’ve had enough Maybe the sun will rise when I’ve given up The black tears on your cheeks that I couldn’t see The resign in your words that I couldn’t read The relief hits your eyes like a flame and then Your warm breath on my neck when we wake again

High Places // L'appel Du Vide 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I see the crowd you roll with now And we don’t talk about Our severed flame As we watch all of this play out Throws everything we knew in doubt Let’s start again Still kinda think it’s cold outside without your light Always losing control of ourselves It’s a sickness we cannot help If you hold out your hand Could you promise I’ll become a better man? Still promising that I have tried without your light Without your touch I am compromised You occupy the spaces of my mind That I associate with better times You know that it’s okay to cry But tell me it’s alright to feel dead sometimes I know that it’s all black when I close my eyes Find in the silence I’m hypnotised I don’t know how much longer I can fight Cause without your touch I am compromised An Unspoken promise of better days But I still feel it slipping away So do us both a favour and don’t let me in I’m circling the drain faster than I can swim She said that someone’s always there to break my fall Sometimes you’ve got to run before you can crawl You know that it’s okay to cry But tell me it’s alright to feel dead sometimes I know that it’s all black when I close my eyes Find in the silence I’m hypnotised If only the end of the world could save us now It won’t be uncomfortable to talk about Cause if it’s in our blood then it’s in our love Maybe the sun will rise when I have given up I know that it’s okay to cry Please tell me it’s alright to feel dead sometimes
