Never Be the Same

In Between

Always Learning What Not To Do

Say what you want to 
Can’t take it anymore
That’s for sure

Let me 
Slide some space in
Separate the sides
You and I

Sometimes
It’s no insult
It’s an existential cry
Oh I tried

If I
Won’t go the distance
Who’ll go the speed

always learning what not to do

Watching the Dead

I’m in the sun whenever I’m around you
Things are all the same; you were something so new
Every single day I’m walking away

We are watching the dead
We are watching the dead

You seem to see everything you need in me
Only we can be another thing and we are free

We are watching the dead
We are watching the dead

It’s what you know
That takes its toll
The peoples’ gaze
They’re all the same

Watching The Dead

Another World 

People come people go
Where their true self lies no one knows
With every breath
I’ll be there too

So tell me how
You think this ends
We kill our time
And follow trends
I hope we all look cool in our tomb

All we know
All the lies the lies
Are all we have

All I want is to stay inside
But someone cares
So I might try
To face that fact and to give some of it back

People come people go
Where their true self lies no one knows
With every breath
I’ll be there too

All we know
All the lies the lies
Are all we have

Floating by unconsciously 
Shedding all antipathy 
Seeing all the loss you miss the growth

All we know
All the lies the lies
Are all we have

Another World

Miss You

You left me on that day, with everything to say
I wish I would have said something before
Came for you that night, something wasn’t right
I met someone you said you could adore

I know that I will miss
I know that we will get through 
I wish that you could be here now and now and now and now

Fly close to the sun, what can be undone 
Could you do it if you knew the end 
My head is filled with fear, but nothing is so clear
I must say farewell to you my friend

A human life
The edge of the knife
We learn, we learn 

I know that I will miss you 
I know that I will get through
I wish that you could be here now and now and now and now

A human life
The edge of the knife
We learn, we learn

I know that I will miss
I know that we will get through 
I wish that you could be here now and now and now and now

Miss You

Typical Cliché

It couldn’t wait
This shouldn’t be delayed
I said the words
The things I had to say
I didn’t know it’s such a bother
Breaking your heart
On this very day

Run away now
Fade away now
Run away now
Fade away now

We were yesterday
We were holding up the night

I’m sorry but I’m bored with you
And all that I’ve put you through
Chained to the thrill of pursuit
Oh I tried
We both look back
Typical Cliche

Run away now
Fade away now
Run away now
Fade away now

We were yesterday
We were holding up the night
We were yesterday
We were holding up our lives

Typical Cliché

Solid Ties

Whose to say we’re gonna stay in touch
It doesn’t mean much
Maybe to you
The city is so fitting all your friends
They’re barely hanging on
Hanging by a thread 

List of things to do
Is how I view
Keeping with the times
Set the scene aside
Who would stick around?
Beer buddies never die

Everyone tries 
On city time
All that I want
True solid ties

Immaculate 

Is it really in our hands?
Bring it back where it began
Words like laser beams that cut you to your core
We’ve all seen our better days
The human age is never tamed
I can feel the wind blowing down

Do you feel the same?
Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?
The one thing free from decay
This moment….

One move forward two steps back
The whole and part share epitaph 
One by one our bits are broken down and down
If you feel your days before ya
I can feel the wind blowing down

Do you feel the same?
Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?
The one thing free from decay
This moment….

Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?
Who is there to blame?
Do you feel the same?

Our Time

They saw you for what you were
A thief in disguise no more
I rode into the blur
You try to stay in your bed
But everyone’s in their head
 
Our time is the night time
Waiting for no one
 
Deep in the cold we stay
No money there either way
When will be the day
The sun is still rolling round
And no one there hears a sound
 
Our time is the night time
Waiting for no one
 
Where’s my certainty
The fire that’s within me
It’s all I’ll look back upon
Before we’re dead
 
Oh I feel it in my bones
Can’t make it on my own
The fear within
Comes through again
 
Our time is the night time
Waiting for no one

Diabolik

Time can put you in the dark, you refuse to see
Charlie takes you to the mark, it’s not where you want to be

I feel it too
I’ve had enough of it
Try to tiptoe
Round the fire
It’s on

You are now the enemy
Walking on my own

Come home
Find you
On the 
Bathroom floor
You won’t ever see the light
You said everything’s alright

I feel it too
I’ve had enough of it
Try to tiptoe
Round the fire
It’s on

You are now the enemy 
Walking on my own again
Something says you’re dead to me
Walking on my own
