Batteries

I miss the days when I didn't know this town
Some kind of magic where light hit the ground
I feel my batteries running down
My heart is beating, yet doesn't make a sound
I get so tired with the fourth time around
I feel my batteries running down
Let's give this another chance
Maybe we'll see variance
As we burn our better plans
Batteries running down, oh
View the windows to life used to be
I drift through void like I drift through the sea
Wistful memories try to drown me
These hollow whispers will just pass me by
Another sigh in a great empty sky
It still enough that I can't close my eyes
Let's give this another go
Will it make a difference, I don't know
Leaving tracks in the fresh snow
Batteries running down, oh
When the lights come on
And you hear that song
Well it's over
It's over, it's over
When the night gets long
And you hear that song
Well it's over
It's over, it's over
Let's give this another chance
Maybe we'll see variance
As we burn our better plans
Batteries running down, oh

Flowers

I'm not particularly good at articulating
And this ordinary night's not quite amazing
I fall in slow
And never get the chance to see
I've made a mess of
I've made a mess of me
It's got me feeling
A little empty
I fall so hard
In a way that I never see
I fill with doubt in everything I mean
But you're stuck in my head like a good song
Can't tell if it's been there all along
I've thought again, so I might be wrong, but
I've got no flowers for you
I've never been one for participating
And this ordinary life's not quite amazing
My feet of lead
Have dragged me to the bottom of the sea
I'd talk it out if it ever came to me
With some distance, things seem so easy
I hold my tongue
Since I don't know how to speak
My sense of self is another sad casualty
But you're stuck in my head like a good song
I can't tell if it's been there all along
I've thought again, so I might be wrong, but
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you
I'm never gonna claim to be one in a million
Or I know what I'm doing, it's a mystery
But I've thought and I've thought and I've thought it over
And the next step forward's not clear to me
But I'm so fucking done with ironic detachment
I'm gonna wear my heart out on my sleeve
With my drop-down mask finally out of the picture
It'll help me figure out what it means to me
You're stuck in my head like a good song
I can't tell if it's been there all along
And I've thought again, so I could be wrong, but
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you

Never Die

Adrift at sea lost on a raft
I don't know if anything can bring me back
I've tried my best to no avail
I've got no wind, I've got no sail
I'm burning out, I'm losing light
But that won't stop me here tonight
I might have lost sight of the sun, but
All I know now is tonight we are young
And it gets better I guess?
I'm not so sure I confess
We run through these streets
Forever in the night
Fly slowly through time
And say we'll never die
We'll hang like the stars forever in the sky
That's how I want it to be
Just say we'll never die
A flash of light, a burst of sound
I'm missing everything I had found
I'd frame it like a piece of art cause
Because life was meant to break your heart
Some nights I feel I need a friend
But they've all left me here again
A lullaby, a landing place
To stop me drifting off to space
And then from here where to go?
I don't know, I don't know
We run through these streets
Forever in the night
Fly slowly through time
And say we'll never die
We'll hang like the stars forever in the sky
That's how I want it to be
Just say we'll never die
The moon is burning aloft so brightly
Beckoning out into the night leads now
If the stars came crashing down
I'd follow you to the ground
We run through these streets
Forever in the night
Fly slowly through time
And say we'll never die
We'll hang like the stars forever in the sky
That's how I want it to be
Just say
We run through these streets
Forever in the night
Drift slowly through time
And say we'll never die
We'll hang like the stars forever in the sky
That's how I want it to be
Just say we'll never die
Say we'll never die
Say we'll never die
Say we'll never die

When the World Ends

Well it hit me
Right across the face
You’re leaving tomorrow
For outer space
It’s weird to think that
Things’ll never be the same
It seems like forever though
And things have never changed
While the world turns
And the fire burns
It’s weird to think, but some things
Will still remain unchanged
It just took me
A little by surprise
This might be the last time
I look into your eyes
I hope that it isn’t
I pray to God it’s not
I hope when it’s over though
By then we’ve not forgot
When the stars fall
Upon us all
I hope that we both see that
This was for the best
When the world ends
And we meet again
I hope you finally find what
You’ve been looking for
When the world ends
And we meet again
I hope that we both find what
We were looking for
