Floods will come
They’re taking all your loved ones
Give me space
I need it
When I kiss your face
I think I taste decay
When I’m in the rain
I think I feel some movement in my chest

I hope it rains on your birthday
So you will know what it’s like to feel so extinguished
In the meantime
I will pass the torch to the next contender
Pretending that I’m not scared to death
And i want to see what you have left for me to lose
Their circumstantial impressions of you will run loose
I know we can’t live this down
There’s too much they’ve found out
Now everything has broken but the skin that we’re sleeping in
And now I’m all figured out
I’ll swear I’m all there
But i won’t romanticise
All these fragile lives
If you’re out of sight
I can’t sleep with the lights out
I hope you’re sad
Was he worth it?
You shouldn’t be happy
But you know that
We’re caught in the aftermath of a train wreck
Convinced that i was forcing you off the tracks
Just know that
On your head be this shy post-pubescent mess
Dealing with stress the way that he knows best
I confess
We can’t live this down
There’s just too much they’ve found out
Now everything has broken but the skin that we’re sleeping in
And now I’m all figured out
I’ll swear I’m all there
But I won’t romanticise
All these fragile lives
If you’re out of sight
I can’t sleep with the lights out
He’s just a boy with ambition
And she’s the girl who won’t listen
The story never gets old
Just the way that we tell it
Murder by word of mouth
Her lips break into a smile
And all my weaknesses
They become…
They become…
He’s just a boy with ambition
And she’s the girl who won’t listen
It’s murder by word of mouth
Your lips break into a smile
And all my weaknesses
They become…
They become…
Her
[The story never gets old]
And now everything has broken but the skin that we’re sleeping in
You’ve got me figured all out
And now everything has broken but the skin that we’re sleeping in
And now we’re all figured out
It’s by word of mouth
You’ll be just another rain cloud

Looking at you like a pay-per-view
Stew in sweat while you stream the news
No one out there knows nothing ‘bout you boohoo
[and she don’t’ know it]
You didn’t know the walls were paper thin
You didn’t know that I could hear everything
Is it just me or is “shorty” still selling herself short?
[And she don’t know it]
I can’t keep together
[In spite of you]
I can’t keep together
[In spite of you]
I can’t keep together
[In spite of you]
I can’t keep together
There’s not much patience in these eyes
But i believe they’ve served their time
I want to get so fucking high
That I don’t feel a thing
‘Cos nobody’s perfect
You didn’t know the walls were paper thin
You didn’t know that I could hear everything
You know we’re so ironic
We’re dying in the living room
[And she don’t know it]
I can’t keep together
[In spite of you]
I can’t keep together
[In spite of you]
I can’t keep together
[In spite of you]
I can’t keep together
There’s not much patience in these eyes
But I believe they’ve served their time
I want to get so fucking high
That I don’t feel a thing
‘Cos nobody’s perfect
There’s not much patience in these eyes
But i believe I’ve served my time
I’ll piss you all of out of spite
So I can feel the sting
‘Cos nobody’s perfect
I can’t keep together
I can’t keep together
[In spite of you]
I can’t keep together
I can’t keep together
There’s not much patience in these eyes
But I believe they’ve served their time
I want to get so fucking high
That I don’t feel a thing
‘Cos nobody’s perfect
[I can’t keep together]
Yea-a-ah
[I can’t keep together]
I’m just sick of the sight of you
[I can’t keep together]
I can’t keep together

He hasn’t spoken to me in a week
He’s getting bitter
I think maybe he doesn’t love me
Enough to fight another round
Little does he know
I’ll be waiting here just to be found
When you call her will you tell her my name?
When you come back you won’t come back the same way
When is enough, enough?
She never wanted very much she just wanted to be loved
Yeah, your wound is fading
But your ultimatum
It still stands
As I push through elevator doors
It’s like ascending with the devil up to heavenly floors
he cheated her so many times
Well, she’s not lying in the shell that she has left behind
When you call her will you tell her my name?
When you come back you won’t come back the same way
When is enough, enough?
She never wanted very much she just wanted to be loved
Yeah, your wound is fading
But your ultimatum
It still stands
It’s not enough
She never wanted very much
Yeah, your wound is fading
But your ultimatum still stands
She is a saint
She is a saint
She is a saint
She is a saint
She is a saint
She is a saint
They used to say she was a saint
Where’s the sense in keeping me around
When all you do is try to push me into the ground
[She is a saint, she is a saint]
No I won’t haunt you
Where’s the sense in keeping me around
When all you do is try to put me into the ground
[She is a saint, she is a saint]
No I won’t haunt you
When is enough, enough?
She never wanted very much she just wanted to be loved
Yeah, your wound is fading
But your ultimatum
It still stands
It’s not enough
She never wanted very much
Yeah, your wound is fading
But your ultimatum still stands

Don’t you recognise my face
From every single window pane?
You and I are much the same
All just trapped in condensated brains
Waiting for our lives to drain out
So take it
‘Cos I’m bowling with my own head
Fingers through my eyes and my mouth
Threw me to the darkness until it hit me
[strike]
Maybe I’m like that
Maybe I’m just too…
Maybe I’m like that or maybe I’m just too…
Nervous
[Gather up, you’re gonna watch me drown]
Maybe I’m like that
Maybe I’m just too…
Maybe I’m like that or maybe I’m just too…
Nervous
[Gather up, you’re gonna watch me drown]
I was told the floods would come
When you least expect them
No
Why won’t you pace in someone else’s room
‘Cos I’m soaking up the dread and the sense of impending doom
I’m so sorry for feeling sorry for myself
So pucker up and knuckle down
You better not show the world how you’ve been feeling
No, they’re just not ready to dry out
I’m only sorry that you know what I’m on about
Maybe I’m like that
Maybe I’m just too…
Maybe I’m like that or maybe I’m just too…
Nervous
[Gather up, you’re gonna watch me drown]
Maybe I’m like that
Maybe I’m just too…
Maybe I’m like that or maybe I’m just too…
Nervous
[Gather up, you’re gonna watch me drown]
I was told the floods would come
When you least expect them
No, no stone will be left unturned
Nor household be left unburnt
Floods will come

The moon is crashing
Gravity has gifted me this starlight conservatory
I gave you the best of me
And somewhere along the way i lost all the rest of me
I hope that this time we’ve spent apart
Can save us in the dark
‘Cos I won’t suffer damp on my shoulder no more
I prayed for a friend
But no one was listening
I’ll just pretend that there’s something more
Be my out almost every single time
[Don’t look down]
I hope that this time we spent apart
Can save us in the dark
‘Cos I’m not going home empty-handed
I know this life that’s being forced upon is far from how we planned it
We’re the kamikaze fighter pilots praying for a landing
And my oh my,
If there was room for two of us then I would have to accept
Oh my love
It’s a mighty fine ark you had
But boy, it’s a shame it’s a wreck
The moon is crashing
Gravity has gifted me more than I should ever see
I gave you the best of me
And somewhere along the way I lost all the rest of me
I hope that this time we’ve spent apart
Can save us in the dark
‘Cos I won’t suffer damp on my shoulder no more
I prayed for a friend
But no one was listening
I’ll just pretend that there’s something more
Be my out almost every single time
[Don’t look down]
I hope that this time we’ve spent apart
Can save us in the dark
‘Cos I’m not going home
The waves that we made
Were so beautiful until they had to break
I’m not scared yet
Though we’re beautifully displaced
I know you would save my place
I hope that this time we’ve spent apart
Can save us
In the hope that this time we’ve spent apart
Can save us
The moon is crashing
The moon is crashing
Gravity has gifted me this starlight conservatory
The moon is crashing
Gravity has gifted me more than I should ever see
More than I should ever see
More than I should ever see
