lyrics

He said to me
I want to watch the sun burn
And I wish there was a better ending to this joke
But I feel no remorse
Because without it
I would be nothing
Keep building up those stars
And watch them burn to the ground
A lesson never to be learnt
Picked up, chewed and spat out
Onto the streets unforgiving arms

We all live in a world
Where we strive for perfection
In your deep seated view
That you’re never be enough
Who the fuck am I?
I want to be like you
Well i'm just sat doing nothing
What am I supposed to do?
If you live to consume
Then you’ll never be happy
Wake up and turn on the news
The Noise will never stop
The noise will never stop
The noise will never stop
The noise will never stop
The noise will never

Stood together at once,
The noise, the stillness and the silence
Between every space and every word
Between everything you’ve ever known
To be together again
Where do I stop? Where do I begin?
To live in a black hole
In the shadow of your own thoughts
I worry people may perceive this all wrong
Perhaps darker than what it is
Lock yourself in and through the key away
No way in, no way out
Rejoice, divine nature, to laugh, to cry
Constantly pulling me in closer than before
If no one ever looked, then no one ever saw
If you make a mistake now, you will never be forgiven
We all believe in something, whatever helps us sleep at night
Broken intimacy, never to be repaired
Why bother when everything can be shared?

Do you feel better about yourself now?
Selling your false world to an audience who don’t care
In a desperate bid for acceptance
To avoid rejection at all costs
You will never achieve what you simply cannot control
You don’t know if you can take it anymore
Resist nothing, compared to those on all fours
Never finding solitude
But when it falls, and it will fall
It will fall like a tree in a forest
Never to be heard, or maybe it never could

Drifting in and out of reality, what was better than before?
Simple suffers, bridging the gap between the beginning and the end
I may never know where i’ll find myself
All or nothing, anything could change at any moment
This could make it all worth it,
Artificial memory, useless knowledge,
Celebrity ambitions and celebrity worship
Self loathing and hatred
All for what?
