Lights Out
05:09

I turned the lights out for the last time
I saw the lights go out in your eyes
Tore the pictures off the wall
Closed the windows locked the door
Threw the keys into the sea
Lit a match upon the deeds
Your eyes
Like a letter from a lover who left too soon
There's an ache in the echo of these empty rooms
And the dust in the air and the footsteps on the stair
They're all gone
We were winning the war but we lost the fight
I heard shots ringing out in the dead of night
And the games that we played and the promises that we made
They're all gone
I heard the attic timbers splinter
I felt the icy chill of winter
But I still tightrope on the wall
I hold my breath in case I fall
Remember bonfires on the lawn
Before the flood before the storm
Your eyes
Like a letter from a lover who left too soon
There's an ache in the echo of these empty rooms
And the dust in the air and the footsteps on the stair
They're all gone
We were winning the war but we lost the fight
I heard shots ringing out in the dead of night
And the games that we played and the promises that we made
They're all gone

Automaton

Just because I stare into the distance doesn't mean I'm not there.
Just because I never send you flowers doesn't mean I don't care.
Automaton
I think I'm gonna drink another bottle of wine
I think I'm gonna take another couple of lines
I can't remember waking up and feeling fine
I know that I should kick it but I'm running out of time
You got me speak double negatives baby
Your love to me is like a sedative baby
I'm just a cybernetic organism
A semi-sentient simulacrum
I run on catalytic pessimism
An inner inability to listen

Breathe

I can't breathe said the man on the ground to the man with the gun
The man with the gun with a badge on his chest and a wife and son
A wife and son with a silver spoon and hopes and dreams
Hopes and dreams of a better life in a better scene
I can't breathe
I'm scared said the girl in the car to the man at the wheel
The man at the wheel who'd been cruising the bars, picking up rides
Picking up rides, locking the doors, taking them home
Taking them home if they could afford to pay his fare
I'm scared
We're all doomed said the man with the bomb to the woman in shades
The woman in shades who was standing alone and avoiding his gaze
Avoiding his gaze, clutching her bag with the treasure inside
The treasure inside, a sample of blood that could save the world
We're all doomed
