You know the rules only change when you see my face
The power is out but your eyes seem hungry again
I only do all these things just to get along
Profit from tears on your keyboard, but you’re still my friend
Only moves like papers in the wind
Cold comfort still holds you down in the end
You know she said
She hungers for natural magic
I said slow down
Oh please don't be upset
And it's the same funny story I always tell
A casual smile and a bite of the lip at the end

I’m outside
Would you stop talking?
The sound of your voice as it meets the sea
I know
I said it’d be different
Well I’m just indifferent when you’re in front of me
You said that time will pull us apart
And you can take away the light from the dark
But you can’t
I'm bone dry
Siren's screaming
Shipwreck sleeping
I'm further out to sea

Evening lightness
Betrays her likeness
And I can't fight it
And you can't hide it
(woah)
And I'm so excited
But I'm also scared
Well I'm so sorry brightness
But it's got me in a tight fist
It goes
(oooh)
Evening lightness
Betrays our violence
The other boys won't like it
And I can't hide it
(woah)
And I'm so excited
But I'm also scared
See I'm so sorry brightness
But it's got me in a tight fist

Don't be a Stranger

Only when our eyes meet
I’ve been waiting
But the price is so steep
When the days creep
I nudge nearly
But the static shock
It won’t let me go
Go arm in arm
Under that faceless charm
Keep yourself from harm
Beyond the flames love
And there were lies before
But baby those were sticks and straw
No sense in howling out
It keeps me chained to the floor
(oooh)
Major reconstruction
Some kind of overhaul
It isn’t anybody’s fault
That’s quite enough
Our patrons wish you luck
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be
Don’t be a stranger
Just be
Be the one I remember
The one I remember

Out of the Dark

I lie awake with myself
The colour drained from my face
Inside no way to begin
Out of the gloom and the din
I reach my hand out
Swipe at nothing
As I stumble forward
Confront the darkness
As it shudders memory to the present
And in the space in between
I lie awake with myself
Find a place for these dreams
Close the door
Left unseen
I bit off what I can’t chew
More than me
It’s more than you
Dying star
Burn to black
There’s no witness
Can’t turn back
What do you want
I can oblige
I surrender
I’m surrendered up
These things I did that can’t be undone
I can’t retract I can’t rewind
I press my head against the window
I cannot help but hide inside
How do I live with myself
I cannot live with myself
(Breakdown)
I want a way out
There’s no way out
Of the dark
I want a way out
There’s no way out
Of the dark
Find a place for these dreams
Close the door
Left unseen
I bit off what I can’t chew
More than me
It’s more than you
Dying star
Burn to black
There’s no witness
Can’t turn back
What do you want
I can oblige
I surrender
I’m surrendered up
