The dust and debris collapsed to the oceans and the seas It flashed and erupted, the gods crippled with laughter And i was powerless to pretend that i wasn't in control Of all the cities that glittered this was the city that glowed How could you choose water over wine? When there’s so much to spare Save your breath tonight’s not done with you yet You can’t understand the depths until all you know becomes unknown Who are we if not the walls that surround us? Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones? Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear Cue the sun, the siege has passed, the tide has spoken and his words fall fast Will I ever learn before I wash ashore Or is this a scar that I've grown to adore Who are we if not the walls that surround us? Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones? Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear You can’t resent the road that gave you something to lose We’re just the sum of the paths that we came through So hold your breath like it’s everything you have Let it divulge and digest cause it’s running out too fast It’s like floating on an open door or watching waves from underwater So let’s pretend that we, let’s pretend that we understand the depths Of what’s buried in our chests What we've evolved to hide behind the sternum or is it pride? It’s a power you can’t ignore, spend a lifetime searching for But will we ever know?

Was this year just a test? Something came and something went From where I was to where I am I know that I won’t let you down And I’ll take all the blame What are you waiting for? It’s been right here all along So open your hands and grasp it I've made a horrible mistake I got the message too late And i knew it all along Yet i let it come undone I hate that we aren't watching the stars Fall from the sky tonight What are you waiting for? It’s been right here all along So open your hands and grasp it You said you never want to do it again But then i see you coming back around This broken parachute is holding out So cut the cord and let me hit the ground For just a moment everything made sense What are you waiting for? It’s been right here all along So open your hands and grasp it

Doing Better 04:26
Someday I won’t need this crutch that carries me And I’ll be so complete but these thoughts weigh me down Cripple my hopes and dreams, please just leave me be No stay and watch me beg and plead Tell me what you need, tell me everything Am I only the air when you need to breathe? Save me from this long night alone and let me start again For when I wake up and see you lying next to me I'm blessed with a cure or a scent that never really fades It’s a vicious cycle, it spins An eye for an eye, not of the beholder it was in But things only get worse and I only meant well At least I thought I did Am I only the air when you need to breathe? Am I only a window when you, when you need to see? It never really fades, it never really fades away When all you know is nothing at all And the strings that hold you are bursting undone You can’t pretend that it’s right when it’s completely wrong It’s wrong Save me from this long night alone and let me start again For when I wake up and see you lying next to me I'm blessed with a cure or a scent that never really fades I’d hoped it never come to this A simple slap on the wrist surely would suffice enough And take me back to the start

In My Head 05:04
Can’t you see what I've done to you You’re hopelessly, endlessly intoxicated by this aerial view You know this isn't what i want but the spark of life i see in you Then ignites in me and takes me away to a better place It’s all partly consequent Medicate in self defence Gone again in a matter of breaths It’s all in my head And then I'm laid back down again And the lights begin to bend Hear the whisper in my hear It’s all in my head Don’t you say I'm totally indifferent to either or either way I've tried to say, communicate your holy words but they came to late Can’t you see what you've done to me I'm hopelessly, endlessly intoxicated by this reality It’s in my head Would you say, you don’t see me Would you say, you don’t need me In the end let’s pretend all I did was make it easy But suddenly I'm awake Suddenly, suddenly I'm awake, I'm awake

This kingdom comes at a price And we've overpaid with goodbyes Buyer beware if we've gained your trust Attention brings out the best and worst in Your attention brings out the best and worst in us It’s like a wedding and a funeral on the same day We’re singing songs that we've written at our own wake It’s like we’re waiting for a mountain to fade We’re falling back, back into our old ways You know who I am, I know you are An atom bomb, a dying star So here’s one for all of you Here’s one for everything we didn't do Too old to die young Too close not to see this through So here’s one for all of you How can you know what you want? But not what to do How can you live a life that wasn't meant for you? So here’s one for all of you Here’s one for everything we didn't do Too old to die young Too close not to see this through So here’s one for all of you
