Chemicals

They won’t hear us when we go ‘cause nobody listens
They won’t let us put on a show if they’ve never seen it before
They want chemicals on screen, concealed repetition
And I don’t want to make a scene so I’ll just inhale it some more
You know there’s hope
We just have to find it
So raise your voice, I’ve only got one lung
The air we breathe won’t be here when they’re done
Yeah raise your voice, I’ve only got one lung
And cough it out, it’s toxic, it’s poison
And I won’t let you stay when you don’t belong here
And I know it’s cliché, but we’ll find somewhere better
I know there’s more to this
We just have to make it
Raise your voice, I’ve only got one lung
The air we breathe won’t be here when they’re done
Yeah raise your voice, I’ve only got one lung
And cough it out, it’s toxic, it’s poison
Yeah raise your voice, I’ve only got one lung
(So raise your)
The air we breathe won’t be here when they’re done
(So raise your)
Raise your voice, I’ve only got one lung
(Won’t be here when they’re done)
And cough it out, it’s toxic, it’s poison
(Won’t be here when we’re gone)

High Tide

You didn't want it, you didn't wanna know
But now you've seen the light
And you can't have it and you won't let it go
You tell me that you want me
The water's rising, it's getting dangerous
I taste it on my tongue
So keep it coming and top it up again
So we can't see the
High tide
It's getting late, I might just take the
Wrong side
I could stay but it might tear us apart
You didn't know it, I didn't let it show
That you were on my mind
And I can feel it, it's falling from the sky
Surrounded by uncertain
High tide
It's getting late, I might just take the
Wrong side
I could stay but it might tear us apart
High tide
It's getting late, I might just take the
Wrong side
I could stay but it might tear us apart
Give up what you're offering
Let me go, I'll try to swim
On my own terms, you can't win
So give up what you're offering
Give up what you're offering
Take back what you said to him
Your words, they don't mean a thing
So give up what you're offering to me
High tide
It's getting late, I might just take the
Wrong side
I could stay but it might tear us apart
High tide
It's getting late, I might just take the
Wrong side
I could stay but it might tear us apart
High tide
(Give up what you're offering)
It's getting late, I might just take the
(Let me go, I'll try to swim)
Wrong side
(On my own terms, you can't win)
I could stay but it might tear us apart
(So give up what you're offering)
High tide
(Give up what you're offering)
It's getting late, I might just take the
(Take back what you said to him)
Wrong side
(Your words, they don't mean a thing)
I could stay but it might tear us apart
(So give up what you're offering)

New World

We’ll work out a way to go
To get out and cut through all
The lies and the system falls
We’ll break down and jump the walls
Around us, protection from
A new world where we come from
(Where we belong)
Where we belong
Somewhere we don’t know now
Somewhere we belong
Somewhere we don’t know now
Where we belong
Somewhere we don’t know now
Somewhere we belong
Somewhere we don’t know now
Where

Sanctuary

Sanctuary, it’s not quite what we thought it was
No we’re just tools, don’t break the rules, they built these walls for us
But she said we should run away, this shelter shelters out the fun
And there's no danger anyway, if I’m here ‘till I’m 21
I’ll go insane
So show me the sun
Yeah show me the sun
We're getting out to celebrate the turn of the century
I hear them shout “sound the alarms, this is an emergency”
But they’re not scared to see us go, they’re just angry that we’d run
They’d kill us both if just to show that they won’t stand for rebellion
We took an oath
So show me the sun
Yeah show me the sun
You know they’ll come for you but we can burn the bridge, get a head start
You know I’ll comfort you, we’re not the only ones to come this far
They should be long behind us now but we’re still always on the run
We might have stayed if we’d known how our skin would burn but we’ve still won
So let them know
That we found the sun
Yeah we found the sun

You are the one, you are the one
And you know they’re coming for you
And you know they’re coming for you
They’re coming for you
We found the sun but we’re not the only ones
And it burns, we hadn’t a clue
And it scares the hell out of you
The hell out of me
How were we supposed to know
This world would be the death of her?

Take
03:50
|

|
Take what you want from me, I won’t mind
Take my breath away, I’ll be fine
‘Cause now I’m ready to let go
Of everything and everyone and all the things we’ve known
Take your time for this, I’ll take mine
You’ll get through this, you’ll be alright
‘Cause now I’m ready to let go
Of everything and everyone and all the things we’ve known
Take care of yourself always please
Do what you want and take what you need
Take care of yourself always please
Do what you want and take what you need

Passengers
03:01

The stripes on the ceiling tell me you’re outside
As your headlights get confused through the tilted blinds
And it’s no real surprise as I see them fade away
The stripes, they trickle down the walls as if to say
They’ve given up on me
Because they never knew just what they meant to me
And I can’t say why in the daytime
Now you’ve gone away and I’ve come to find that I can’t see
I’ll be a better son when the moon can’t hide
I doubt the night will see my darker side
‘Cause I’m better without the bright when it’s too much for my eyes
I’d rather see the lines of your light cut through my blinds
They’ve given up on me
Because they never knew just what they meant to me
And I can’t say why in the daytime
Now you’ve gone away and I’ve come to find that I can’t see
Oh yeah
Yeah
The shadows on the wall provide a canvas for your light
They tell the story of the passing passengers at night
The artificial glow that makes itself known to us
When we are all alone we’ll paint a whole new world for us
The stripes on the ceiling tell me your outside
As your headlights get confused through the tilted blinds
And it’s no real surprise as I see them fade away
The stripes, they trickle down the walls as if to say

Flicker
02:39
|

|
I thought about calling but I don’t wanna make you mad
It’s just like Sunday evenings to make me feel this bad
You flicker like a lightbulb, erratic in the dark
And I’ll go fucking crazy waiting for a spark
And in the end, I don’t even have a good excuse
To pick up the phone
It’s 9pm
And I’m alone
I don’t want him to notice and call you out again
You tell yourself it’s different, it’s justified this time
But in the end, you don’t even have a good excuse
To let me in
To light this spark
When you’ve got him
So I’ll ask why don’t you just ignore me?
Why do you still text back in the morning?
Why won’t you just exhaust me?
Getting my hopes up shoot me down again

Friends
02:57

I’ve seen the way they talk to you
Your friends online, they follow you
And it feels
It means nothing
They like the jokes, the things you post
The pictures in your edgy clothes
So they might
No they won’t listen
At home you think about the place
You thought your life might go someday
And it still might
Now it can’t happen
They try to help, tell you to bin
The pills you take to feel something
But they don’t
Please try to understand
So talk to me, I’ll talk with you
Just tell me what you’re going through
Just please
Don’t
She took a life, her own that day
Her friends online won’t be the same
‘Cause they feel
You meant something

Words To Comfort
07:22
|
|||
|
You use your own words, bring me down
Not even my dreams make a sound
I’ll go my own way, back to myself
Back to comfort and nothing else
Inside I’m all burned out
Outside I’m shivering
But I’ll breathe the same
Do you see me talking? I don’t wanna talk about it
You’ll hear me sing and that’s all you’ll ever hear about
It’s not your call to make
I know that my words bring you down
But I don’t mean to make a sound
Please go your own way, don’t follow me
Avoid the trap of curiosity
Outside, you’re breaking down
Inside you’re breaking out
But we breathe the same
Do you see me talking? I don’t wanna talk about it
You’ll hear me sing and that’s all you’ll ever hear about
It’s not your call to make
It takes its toll
It takes its toll
(I know it takes its toll)
Sitting on your best friend’s couch, you said it’s not the same for me
(It takes its toll)
We’ll go outside to talk it out, give us chance to disagree
(I know it takes its toll)
Crying on the phone again, finding words to comfort you
(It takes its toll)
I don’t think about the end, I just wanna make it
