Club Night 03:03
Come to this club every night alone Looking for someone to take me home Looking for somewhere to feel welcome Get on the stage and sing a song My hair is blue, I look at my feet I know this is no way to meet But can you just see through this body please I feel the emptiness spread out of me And turn into a see-through disease Engulfing everything I mean Destroying everything but me My words come out like little ghosts Tapping at the window host Tapping very silently In trails of white and finery We all come back tomorrow To do the dance alone Sometimes its hard to follow The steps to take you home Waiting by the entrance door I feel we've met somewhere before It's feeling so familiar With hand in hand interiors Life is a dream in which we lie My love was real but had to die Until the next reality You'll live here right inside of me And we all come back tomorrow To do the dance alone Sometimes its hard to follow The steps that take you home

I saw you yesterday but we didn't know each other I can't believe we stayed in a bed with one another Is this how it is when you start to stop kissing I guess I'm the odd one out, though I'm the only one in As people disappear from the lives I used to live in And carry on walking till we become nothing Is it better to be held or to be forgotten Hear second hand stories from the worlds that I have died in To burn all the bridges and wade in the water

It's all about to end I'll say goodbye my friend I'm going somewhere new Someplace without you I don't ever wanna let you Think I'm no one without you Have you ever even seen me Ever cared to see me truly I don't wanna shout You can find your own way out Exprapolate myself Pretend I'm somewhere else I've had enough of trying hard for A situation I won't die for Had enough of being 'round you Had enough of thinking of you Why am I so hard to speak to Do you even care enough to Why am I asking so much of you Why can't I just be normal You're not all to blame I'm probably just the same It's all happened before Learning so slow is a bore They always thought the worst of me Couldn't stand to be around me Didn't care if I was missing Didn't care I needed fixing Whatever it was they were thinking Wasn't in communicating Maybe they were never caring Maybe I'm just oversharing But it is near the end There's nothing to defend Our walls have built ourselves

Blue Storm 02:53
I am waiting for the stars to call There's a blue storm covering it all Thought that I could find my way through the night But the blue storm overhead is too bright I am waiting for the clouds to clear up so I can see The aliens above who are calling me There is nothing here for me so I think I will just leave And see what there will be with only belief

Camel lights Bought in two thousand and seven Nights spent in New York I’m twenty five inside squares United states affairs New Orleans two thousand and eight Auras read I’m blue apparently Brian says Whisky drinks and strangers eyes Came from the farm Three months inside Christendom And movie nights on Saturdays In love Pulling weeds from carparks in gloves Open mic at the gazebo Brother Mike introduced me to her My first wife To be Left me on my flight Croydon streets lived in two thousand and ten Years on in Twickenham I sit and reminisce My time there still exists somewhere

Coastguards 03:52
There’s a storm living in my head Coastguards all around me Sources say that it won’t break But there’s pieces all around me Shapes are spread upon the water Facing a starlit sky I try to put it all together In the end I don’t know why As I scramble into my bed In the early morning light Wake up early for the next day Just longing for the night With hours lost inbetween them This living is a fight I’m not here And as I see the arctic night Shine over hurricane sea I am sleeping in my bed Listening to sounds come from my tv And I am not really here Im just living in my own world And I am not really here I’m just staying in from the cold

Headlights 03:08
I lie above my fallen teeth and crouch under a bed beneath Cupboards that begin to creak as soon as I start to sleep I wake and call you on the phone, cables wrapped around my bones Wires begin coupling to notify the signalmen Behind bars they sit and wait, sticks balancing empty plates Someone tunes the radio to a song that we both know As I sing you start to dance, a hollow victory romance With nothing we decide to drive, with nothing we can survive Leaving town and taking notes, ghosts living in empty coats Keeping warm as prison walls tumble down like waterfalls Tales and cities flicking screens lighting up like gasoline As the car is turning slow I roll down the window Hearing words come from the street, the wind's telling me a secret Driving blindly into cars, headlights looking like the stars Sirens calling in the street, stopping signs is where we meet In silence we begin to run, off before the starting gun Head along the waters edge, jumping from the window ledge Tied up fall into the sea, drowning just like Houdini Underwater we can fly, up above the surface lies As the salt turns into our skin, we disappear and merge again

In the end we're not so innocent Time divides us piece by piece Cuts us until we don't bleed at all I hear a voice singing me a song Sirens calling out my name But I won't leave here I'll finish the game Till the end I will follow you Though I've never seen your face I can feel you pull me to you And I will trust you even if I lie
