LYRICS / 

Linger under streetlights there is no one around
Just the revving of engines is the only sound
The exchanging of cash
The exchanging of a gram
The exchange of passion and lust
A discreteness, trust

And I'll wait here, 'til the lights turn off
Dusk has dawned and now you've gone
I know it's wrong but I can't stop
You don't even care if I get caught
As long as you get your fix
That's all I'm good for
That's all I'm good for

Linger under streetlights there is no one around
Just the echoes of footsteps as yours hit the ground
The exchange of our hands
That held me down, damn
Soon you would push me away
Like a stranger who invaded your space

And I'll wait here, 'til the lights turn off
Dusk has dawned and now you've gone
I know it's wrong but I can't stop
You don't even care if I get caught
As long as you get your fix
That's all I'm good for
That's all I'm good for

Another day, all the same
Keep gazing and driving by
You know I'll be there

Another day, all the same
I'm still waiting, but I know you knew that
You knew I knew that

Another day, all the same
I'm still lying here from the first spot you found me

Another day, all the same
I doubt it'll change
Under streetlights, every single day

Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day

Without - Single

Without

[Verse 1]
Potent crystal swarm,
Catch upon thy lash.
Sapping all sense of warmth.
Plough through the solid stream.
Ice riddled hydrogen stops his ability to scream.

[Verse 2]
Avalanche to the ground.
Encompassed by frozen sea.
Devoured, diminished, 
He won't melt, he's finished. 
Devoured, diminished.

[Chorus]
Bodies hit the ground,
And there is no sound,
Apart from the cry of the wind.
Bodies hit the ground
And there is no sound 
Mourned by the tears of the blizzard.

[Verse 3]
Frostbite claimed many souls,
"Anything is possible" they said.
But on our trek,
We have to leave those for dead,
To save ourselves.

[Chorus]
Bodies hit the ground,
And there is no sound,
Apart from the cry of the wind.
Bodies hit the ground
And there is no sound 
Mourned by the tears of the blizzard.

[Bridge]
Can't leave those behind,
Without them he is blind,
He doesn't know where to find the clearance.
The snowstorm will punch him down,
Was it all for nothing now?
The snow outlines his cold, brittle bag of bones.
All he wants is to go home.

[Chorus]
Bodies hit the ground,
And there is no sound,
Apart from the cry of the wind.
Bodies hit the ground
And there is no sound 
Mourned by the tears of the blizzard.

[Outro]
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

'Blizzard' - The debut single by Alexander Mountain

Blizzard

[Verse 1]
Mustard yellow leaves in the wake of spring
Weedy, bristled branches casting shadows on a primrose dim
Solid stature
Grown so high
Comes in all shapes and size
Don’t panic
Don’t panic

[Verse 2]
Inhaled too much carbon from the atmosphere
Overwhelmed and crippled
In such a short space of years
Don’t know when it’ll go
But it’ll try to go solo
Trying not to root and rupture the forest
And stunt their own growth

[Chorus]
Creaking and cracking
Bird's eye-view
Onlookers gasp
Unsure of what to do
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down

[Verse 3]
Whether sawn or mother nature’s watch
No power to see
His grown circle quantity
His crown shyness, forces it free
Back to where they placed their seed
From the ground up

[Chorus]
Creaking and cracking
Bird's eye-view
Onlookers gasp
Unsure of what to do
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down

[Bridge]
Harsh winter whimpers against the zealous green
Quivering and oscillating in the inept terrene
We were made to grow
Made to stand
Created to overlook the land
But we fall down
[Chorus]
Creaking and cracking
Bird's eye-view
Onlookers gasp
Unsure of what to do
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down

[Outro]
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down
We fall down

Creaking and cracking
Bird's eye-view
