when it overwhelms me
when the noise is deafening
when the water is rising
when it's hard to breathe
When there's nothing,
it'll be just you and me
When there's nothing,
it'll be just you and me
im not here forever

It wasn't hard to promise this
everyone was sold on this
all the time to calculate
and all the words left to rephrase
...
shy as fuck, with changing signs
appearing on the lids of my eyes
we'll watch ourselves in the mirror again
notebooks open, marking times
breaking down the door
oh man
we've got a long time
we've got a long time
breaking down the door
oh man
we've got a long time
we've got a long time

i cant stop holding on
i cant stop holding on
cos i
cant hide
its all over now
its all over now
cos i'm
so tired
this house is empty now
this house is empty now
and i
can't find it
i keep missing you
i keep missing you
only
only
you
this house is empty now
this house is empty now
i keep missing you
i keep missing you
i keep missing you
I saw you
before it ended
you didn't look sad

you clever thing you
you clever thing you
hardly mine
hardly mine
hardly mine
my luxury
my luxury
many times
many times
many times
your ghost has a hunger
your ghost was my lover
I'll never harm you
I'll never harm you
in my arms
in my arms
in my arms
my golden sun
my golden sun
rising high
rising high
rising high
your ghost has a hunger
your ghost is my lover
and when it's time
I'll lie and wait
for you to come
and trick my hands again.
We lie awake

Atom

What do you think you're saying
This time will be so different
Was always gonna happen
and follow us to heaven
and you look
like an angel
in war paint
I've got another question
How do I make this happen
Kill time by being softer
How do I say this simply? No.
you look
like an angel
in war paint
I'm not lost
and I know every atom that you have
was made for me

isn't it strange
isn't it strange
that your car
is still in my driveway
does it mean
you're coming home?
or will you wait
till I'm away?
what I wanna know
is if there is a place for me
but I know
you're already gone
so whatever you want
is okay with me
and my dreams
they could have been real
but when I woke
the pain was sharper still
what I wanna know
is if there is a place for me
but I know
you're already gone
so whatever you want
is okay with me

The Mute

These are the tricks
I'm unraveling the threads
I'm discovering the trends
I am alone in this
I'm not the villain
I'm the voice in my head
I'm the break in the trend
I'm not alone in this
You, you're flying blind
You're searching for the truth
You're talking to the mute
You, you're flying blind
You're searching for the truth
You're flirting with the mute
----=
You, you're flying blind
You're searching for the truth
You're talking to the mute
You, you're flying blind
You're searching for the truth
You're flirting with the mute

I fell through
I fell through the hole in the sky
I fell through
I fell through the hole in the sky
I let myself out your door and
I fell through
I fell through the hole in the sky
The simplest answer
too often hysterics
I love the money
but I hate the miracles
time distant people
leave moon distant memories
this is fucked up entirely
I know you
cant believe I'm right
I know you
cant believe I'm right
I let myself out your door and
I know you
cant believe I'm right
The simplest answer
too often hysterics
I love the money
but I hate the miracles
time distant people
leave moon distant memories
this is fucked up entirely
I was burnt out hiding within the light
I was burnt out hiding within the light
You looked at me like you
wanted something
please say it again
You looked at me like you
wanted something
please say it again

What An Answer

what a wonderful surprise
mister chemically stained eyes
mister teleprompter noise
welcome in and dry yourself
tell me more of what you know
aim your gun up to the skies
kick me while im down and watch me
struggle to get on my feet
you know how to get to me
But im not your ragdoll
I am trying
to get back
I made a target for my back
shoot the very things I lack
what an answer
I smell the chemicals in play
I want to see a light someday
what a story
I did this to myself
I did this to myself
whose life is it
that im trying
to get back?
I cant figure out how to tamp it down
I cant fit this all together

oh, never opened boxes
mistaken for riches
feeling doubled over
its humming louder
when i was young
i never looked back
until it was gone
until it was gone
But I'm still young
a heart thats afraid to be beaten
a heart thats afraid to be beatin'
a heart thats afraid to be beaten
a heart thats afraid to be beatin'
when i was young
i never looked back
until it was gone
until it was gone
But I'm still young
I will never let you go, my love
