Life in slow-motion under the sheets
And I saw you carry on
Holding your full weight
Buckling knees
But I saw you carry on
Stay in the light
Stay in the light
Or you’ll find oblivion
The better thoughts won’t let you in
If all your answers are medicine
A masochist who won’t let go
You’ll find yourself in the earth below
Please sit down
These walls are not your friends
They’re not your friends
They box you out until the moment where you don’t fit in
A lack of emotion pulling the strings
Believe me, I see, see everything
Maybe it’s better for life to leave your heart
But I’ve seen you carry on
If you just stay in the light, yeah you’ll find you carry on
Please sit down
These walls are not your friends
They’re not your friends
They box you out until the moment where you don’t fit in
Under attack
You’re under attack
You like to lie to yourself
You lie to yourself
These walls are not your friends
They’re not your friends
They like to shove it down your throat like a medicine, medicine
Life in slow-motion under the sheets
But I’ve seen you carry on
Lack of emotion pulling the strings
But I’ve seen you carry on
Maybe it’s better for life to leave your heart
But I’ve seen you carry on
Yeah I’ve seen you carry on
Tell ’em I’ve seen you carry on

Everyone Dies Alone
It always seems to come to this The end of joyful ignorance Drop everything that I have and go Half asleep behind the wheel Not sure what I’m supposed to feel Still …
Heaven On High
Black sky, the birds, they fly I see it all, we flee it all We flock together They move past The lighthouse flies south, the clouds Can see the ground, can hear the sound …
Malevolent
Abandoned space of forgotten faces Scream-soaked halls, the resting place left Pictures framed, but the time erased them Walls rot out A home forsaken A portrait bleeding …
