When The Night Falls Quite - Lyrics 
Written by Birds of Tokyo

WE ARE CAST OUT 
WE ARE FACING COLD CONNECTIONS 
BLINDSIDED 
WHEN THE ASH CLOUDED OUR VISION 
IN A WAR BETWEEN MANY 
SO FEW HAD WON THEIR PLACEMENT 
AND I KNEW THAT IT MATTERED 
WHEN LINES FORMED AND TIES WERE BROKEN 

OH WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS QUIET 
YOU'RE FEARING THAT THE WARS BEGUN 
COS WE'RE ALL IN THIS RIOT 
THE SIRENS AND BELLS HAVE SUNG 
DON'T SPEND YOUR LAST DAY WAITING 
FEELING YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE 
COS WE'RE ALL IN THIS RIOT 
WE RIOT AS ONE 

OUR HORIZON 
IS A PICTURE CARD DISASTER 
WHEN THE LIGHT FADED 
AND THE INK RAN LIKE A RIVER 
IF WE PAUSE FOR ONE SECOND 
TO CATCH OUR OWN REFLECTION 
WE'D BE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE 
WITH NO TIME TO FIND FORGIVENESS

OH WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS QUIET 
YOU'RE FEARING THAT THE WARS BEGUN 
COS WE'RE ALL IN THIS RIOT 
THE SIRENS AND BELLS HAVE SUNG 
DON'T SPEND YOUR LAST DAY WAITING 
FEELING YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE 
COS WE'RE ALL IN THIS RIOT 
WE RIOT AS ONE 

ON THE FRONT LINE 
I CAN HEAR A FAINT REHEARSAL 
OF THE LAST PLAY 
WHERE THE YOUNG CRY ROLE REVERSAL

OH WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS QUIET 
YOU'RE FEARING THAT THE WARS BEGUN 
COS WE'RE ALL IN THIS RIOT 
THE SIRENS AND BELLS HAVE SUNG 
DON'T SPEND YOUR LAST DAY WAITING 
FEARING YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE 
COS WE'RE ALL IN THIS RIOT 
WE RIOT AS ONE 

When The Night Falls Quiet

This is a song I recorded well over 2 years ago and only just found it again. It's pretty raw but I think that's what I enjoy about it.
