about

This song was posted on soundcloud a while back, just before my exams, but the ideas were created long before that. It's a very bitter song, and one that has so many ideas, some of which I believe in, some of which I am representing in an almost satirical way, and some that don't mean anything to me.

Honestly, this song is all about the lyrics. It wouldn't be on this album if I weren't so proud of the fact that I could sing the chorus without fainting.

lyrics

Well you made something just to throw it away
And the time you invested all went to waste
And you’re choking from the inside
It’s like guilt is wrapping up your lungs

Well you’re never gonna be this young again
And the world is round and you don’t know anything
But your life is in the future
Nothing, and it all has begun

The sky is opaque
And made of cardboard these days
You think you’re doing great
But your judgement is clouded by the haze
Don’t open your eyes too wide kids
Something might climb inside
And you’ll wake up the next morning
And you’re not the only thing alive and within your head

Stay quiet stay blind
Underneath the radar they’ll never find
What makes you tick
Scheming apocalyptic
Swimming in the mainstream
Killing all your daydreams
Don’t let /them taste
The psyche you savour

Safety is alone give up the friends you might have known and wait
Around the corner, breathe in your live bait
Keep your enemies close\
They’re the ones you need most
Just a word of warning though -
Don’t let it all show through

Well our hair and our teeth have all gone to war
You don't even know what they're fighting for
However if you colour-code it might just count

The taste of air is foreign to you now
And you're on top of the bass and you're thinking aloud
The thoughts are too heavy, they're bringing you down

The sky is opaque
And made of cardboard these days
You think you’re doing great
But your judgement is clouded by the haze
Don’t open your eyes too wide kids
Something might climb inside
And you’ll wake up the next morning
And you’re not the only thing alive and within your head

Stay quiet stay blind
Underneath the radar they’ll never find
What makes you tick
Scheming apocalyptic
Swimming in the mainstream
Killing all your daydreams
Don’t let /them taste
The psyche you savour

Safety is alone give up the friends you might have known and wait
Around the corner, breathe in your live bait
Keep your enemies close\
They’re the ones you need most
Just a word of warning though -
Don’t let it all show through

[To celebrate the end of the world, we're holding a banquet
A final appearance of skeletons at the feast, before we're all vanquished]x4
