At the top of the world They would say it's a long way down But if we stand on a cloud We will make our own ground 'Cause we're just lost to the mist We are but two strangers to be missed If ignorance is not bliss Then what on earth is I won't leave, tonight I'll be the ward of your tears 'til light And in the morning, you will be alright I will stay here, 'til sunlight You call out my name In need of love and pain If I do it this way Then can the heart be saved And after the last kiss A bite into the skin To feel the love burning in I'm sorry I was never there I left you cold and alone too many times I've been trying to survive By committing unspeakable crimes And I'm sorry For these will be the things you will have to do Things you have to do To survive
2.
Here we go diving into deep unknown And a sorry's just a moment That we need to let go This place is full of hope Never sure if we've ever known A reason why The answer is no And all it takes Is not all we've known And all we can do Is leave our note We're telling them why If we promise them it's better the truth is known A sweet surrender soured If the moment grows cold Here we are we're in the heat of the fold It's better to be a some one Than a no one at all

The Wall 05:15
Words are quite done Your actions have set the pace Yesterday I survived Today is another race Because you're here That's all that counts I wouldn't die another way And if love is your faith I'll find my own place In this life There's a wall between hands I need you here with me, here with me I can't do this, I can't stand I need you here with me, next to me
4.
Runners 04:00
I'll take a fall As often as you need me to I'll take a chance But only if you ask me to And I will take a risk If you promise me you will And I will run with you If you're running too And if we don't die tonight We'll know we're living right And if we both run tonight We can make it out alright You're worth losing my life If I'm worth losing yours And as the street light's fading It's not long until dawn Because the clock's ticking down And we don't live long And if we never miss tonight Then we're living wrong
5.
Skylight 03:58
Stay with me for the summer I heard you were going to go We could hide away in each other But then I know What we're like around one another There's a reason you have to go That the lies that you told the others But then I know I know you, you don't want to go I know you, you fell you have to go All I can offer you is my love But that is not enough To not make you go Stay with me for the summer What words could describe the hole That would be left inside Now that I know When you need each other When the pain in your heart's exposed You can comfort each other But then I know
6.
I don't ever want to know if you really love me I like the idea in my head Synthesised instead If it only makes amends, this isn't worth being friends To find the pieces never fit In my head we could have a chance In pretend we'll act out love in my head You'll always laugh at my jokes In pretend please be my best friend You are always in my view If you were gone then you would be missed Though in my heart my head knows what this is Synthetic love
7.
Exit 06:20
A cold air enters Like a draft from a back door Unnoticed it rises It falls down a dark hall It hangs on her warm bones The unannounced phone call She picks up the receiver She screams as she falls In the middle of nowhere A man lies by the road He's no idea how he got there But he wants to get home He sees in the distance He can just about make out He starts to hear screaming And he can't block it out This world is empty to me And I, I've seen the light And it calls to me This world is empty to me Come along for my exit scene My exit scene Against the backdrop of a rainstorm The sound of water hitting walls The echo of the concrete Signals an industrial dawn The inventions we made Too elaborate to fall The machine's always watching And it takes your coat by the door
8.
Departed 03:53
Like a dark wave You'll drown if you don't ride it In a freak town You'll be killed if you don't like it But don't hang around I swear you won't survive it The feeling is out It's time we both departed If the moment has come It has come to leave I once knew love You've taken it from me From the outside It was easy just to observe this From the inside They tried their best to preserve it But don't hang around I swear you won't survive it The city's alive It's time we both departed
9.
The Drone 03:56
The house will burn to the ground As I watch the sparks fly The drone of the engine shall reprise I will be leaving this place tonight
10.
Monument 07:17
My dear You gave away love You gave it a grave What could be left to say I only came because you're here I only came because of fear Will I leave the way we came Or alone will I leave Ashamed My monument Monument I have been lost for far too long Just to say goodbye To the only sane person I have ever known For all of my life If we both moved on Lived out our separate lives Could we still belong To this changing world, it's left us both behind Where I can't be anyone's Monument
11.
The rain falls on her hollow face I'll stand behind my best mistake The streetlights put on their best display I hear your words but your eyes betray The slow reveal Tonight Of how we feel Tonight The echoes fall from a gothic arch Lost in the distance as the sirens fight The dull affection of a misted glaze We stand like statues as our eyes embrace The slow reveal Tonight Of how we feel Tonight Love's revealed Tonight A wreckage of steel Tonight
12.
I know where you and I always go Under the abstract I know the pain The city circles around the blame These are words These are words These are the words The words of a stranger If you need any information I am it's creator I am the illustrator This place is a prison, you have to get out Don't let blue skies deceive you Because the rain will still come down It's a shame we always meet The inner limits are inch and feet It brings you close to me Don't say things you do not mean It's insulting to me you see The truth is not beyond me
