I'm done with you


You know I'm walking away

Not quite the same

You know I miss your name

And hearing it every day

But I don't want to go


Take a breath and keep it all together

If you're feeling under weather

Take a second to remember

Lights out before 7

The sight's out

It's more heaven

The night's loud

It's all even

The night's young

We're still breathing

We tried drinking

But time's quicking

we're leaving

We stop thinking

The night's breathing

The clock's ticking

And sight seeing's

For day creatures

Not night beings

We slay preachers

And face features

Just taste gorgeous

We fire Mortars


Pick a grain of sand from the camel's eye

Watch 't hypnotised at comic books and cable ties

Stainless glass shards cutting underneath your feet

Let me play my poltergeist all the way to easy street

All the way above the ground

Makes a ticking sound

What's a couple pipe bombs between loving someone else

Even if they're sound enough to pick apart the crowd

Comforting as always like a blanket made of Pidgeon down

Miscreantic

I'm a failure of a romantic

I'm a sailor of the seven seas and I'm satanic

Fake magic

Pulling rabbits out of hats

Can we break manic

I guess we ain't drastic

Until the fake plastic catches on as something rousing

And the new cash prize is a couple hundred thousand

Put it all on the line for a shot at public housing

When the boat floods, don't go crying for me you'll make it worse

Pick your words for a curse

Then you turn to a mess in the church

With a bless you deserve

Dressed in a hearse and addressed, I preferred

You're obsessed by the verse

Derezzed by the birds in the best

In the surge in the centre of your chest

and you turn, your goddamn best to your worse

And your glimmer in your eye fades away like the first

Time that you gave in said yes first

Head first in the deep end

Back out on the weekend

Gone to see friends


But I don't want to go
