lyrics

they said that nothing mattered
we lie, he bleeds in the street
we polish one coin in a pocket
the dye rubs out, the clouds a lock

so-called relegation battle
bring your bottles and bats
music the clank of ships
itching, watch through the fog

(chorus)
sing to me
and i’ll forget it all

inter-city, gleaming sodium web
my face flooded in the dark
as a child spying the street
just talk to yourself, it’s easier

sickening mayhem in my eyes
bring me holy immolation
innocent terror in four walls
what is it when the truth’s a lie

(chorus)

i see the walls close up bleeding
still you can’t touch me
slow float on a tidal wave
watching the silence of seagulls

i hate you and i want you to die
at least that’s the morning sorted
running the clock down, easy
we just melt away into the crowd

(chorus)
