Faint Analogue

[Intro]
Yeah, you hit me hard, then you slid away soft…
Like a blade wrapped in velvet. I’m standin’ here, a sad old dad,
Kids asleep upstairs, heart droppin’ downstairs.
You leave me with this stale taste, bitter like leftover takeaway chips.

[Verse 1]
You say it’s you, not me, but that’s a tired track,
Spinnin’ in my head like a scratched vinyl rack.
Your tongue spits sugar, then stings like a wasp,
My arms ache empty, your perfume lost in exhaust.
Your kiss colder than January wind on my face,
A sneaky fox slippin’ from my love’s embrace.
Is there someone else slidin’ beneath your sheets,
While I’m here releasin’ ghosts on these damp, creaky streets?

[Refrain]
Birds of a feather? Nah, we ain’t flockin’ no more,
I’m stuck in the rain while you kick down the door.
You said you wanted soft, I’m feelin’ cracked and hard,
Like concrete dreams droppin’ shards in my yard.

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t know why I’m cryin’, the tears taste like gin,
I’ve got no room to breathe, no space left within.
My heart’s in a blender, don’t press ‘puree’,
If you’re done, don’t lie, just walk away.

[Chorus]
I’ll love you ‘til the council tears down these old blocks,
‘Til my bones creak louder than your midnight talks.
‘Til I’m spittin’ dust and the sky’s turnin’ black,
I’ll love you even if you ain’t ever comin’ back.
I’ll love you ‘til the beat stops punchin’ the air,
‘Til I’m flat on my back with no one to care.
I’ll love you through this twisted aftermath,
Even though you left me bleedin’ in your path.

[Verse 2]
Look at these photos, dusty frames on the wall,
Our life was a dance, now you’re watchin’ me fall.
Your new man’s probably got that slick lip,
Gold chains, fast talk, cocaine drip.
I’m standin’ here holdin’ your broken promises tight,
Like rotten fruit I just can’t toss out tonight.
You said you want me gentle, now I’m broken in half,
Listenin’ to late-night sirens mock my lonely laugh.

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t know what I’m screamin’ for,
I’m kneelin’, knockin’ at a bolted door.
You said we’d last, but you cut me like a knife,
A Dad left stranded in his own love’s strife.

[Chorus]
I’ll love you ‘til the council tears down these old blocks,
‘Til my bones creak louder than your midnight talks.
‘Til I’m spittin’ dust and the sky’s turnin’ black,
I’ll love you even if you ain’t ever comin’ back.
I’ll love you ‘til the beat stops punchin’ the air,
‘Til I’m flat on my back with no one to care.
I’ll love you through this twisted aftermath,
Even though you left me bleedin’ in your path.

[Post-Chorus]
Your touch once warm as fresh bread at dawn,
Now just crust and mould, all sweetness gone.
I’m trapped in these ruins, can’t find my way out,
Still lovin’ you inside this pain and doubt.
You hit me hard, then slid away soft…
And I’m here, a sad old dad, lost in your cost.

Rhythm of Your Heartbeat

Lyrics: 

I am the void
That eats your happiness
The crumbling abyss
That makes you feel cold

I am the ghost
That prods your head at night
I prod with all my might
I want you to scream

Oh oh
You will never wash me away
Oh oh
You will never scrub me away

I am the guilt
You feel towards everything
Your smile and all the things
That you don't deserve

I am the dread
That hangs above your soul
You'll feel me young and old
I'm your oldest friend

Oh oh
You will never wash me away
Oh oh
You will never scrub me away

HOME

[Verse]
Didn’t wanna go out
Really didn’t wanna go
Didn’t wanna stay in
So I laid down in (?)
It didn’t sound so crazy then
Was it crazy then
Maybe it was then
No I didn’t mean it

[Chorus]
Baby darling
I’m really sorry I’m late
Baby darling
Really sorry I’m late
Baby darling
I’m really sorry I’m late
Baby darling
Really sorry I’m late

[Verse 2]
Was it bad for you too
Think it really was for me
Been in bed since Tuesday
Hate how everybody
Said this is gonna be the thing
So sick of everything
I didn’t mean to fight it
I really did but

[Chorus]
Baby darling (Baby darling)
I’m really sorry I’m late (I’m sorry I’m late)
Baby darling (Baby darling)
Really sorry I’m late (I’m really sorry I’m late)
Baby darling (Baby darling)
I’m really sorry I’m late (I’m really sorry I’m late)
Baby darling (Baby darling)
Mmm

[Bridge]
Oh
Mm-hmm
Oh
Mm-hmm

[Chorus]
Baby darling (Baby darling)
I’m really sorry I’m late (Sorry I’m late)
Baby darling (Baby darling)
Really sorry I’m late (Really sorry I’m late)
Baby darling (Baby darling)
I’m really sorry I’m late (Really sorry I’m late)
Baby darling (Baby darling)
Mmm

I’m Really Sorry I’m Late
