Not that I’m blaming you, but i really can’t take the fall for this, there’s four of us in this room, trading false smiles for false promises, White lies, black eyes, white guilt, black fucking years, Well I’m no sinner and I’m no saint, I’m no fucking martyr, that’s the one thing that I hate, Its fucking hard to dream when your hopes are on the floor, and I’d like to see you smile, through blackened eyes and broken fucking jaws, this house we built, is about to fall, in this house of fucking cards, the writings on the wall

Melancholy seeps through my pores, Dreading coming back to normal life. Exhaustion feels like such a minor thing, Along side this low I’m feeling. I’m sick of how I feel inside, I want to be doing this for a long time. The only thing wrong with those two days, Was that we had to drive back south. Normality is something I don’t want to follow anymore. I miss all the friends I made, Don’t know when I’ll see them again.

No conscience tonight, And this girl front row thinks we’re alright, And she’ll come next time. These bands don’t get us, Their clean and we’re messed up, Gloves and vests cos we’re here to impress We’ll drink, smoke, live too fast We’ll play this one out like it is our last, but we’ll never last We’re young and carefree, But my friends don’t care unless it’s free, Doesn’t bother me Will we ever remember? The number on the door was it 10 or 11, Lets just blame the recession We’ll drink, smoke, live too fast We’ll play this one out like it is our last, but we’ll never last

Is this just skin deep? Or am i right at the bottom? Will I have to sink or swim to know? But my hope floats so at least it shows That the moon pushing these tides is smiling down on me With reaching hands and kicking feet we'll struggle past waves and defeat Our fleet's the strongest heart, it never skips a beat If i can swim to the surface it'll all have been worth it Amongst the worthless remains of this sunken town And in the remnants of these junks, rusted coins and steamer trunks Maybe i'll find what i've been searching for till now So if i lose my feet i'll be weighted, wasted now i see That all this gasping for air time's been better spent Don't let this anchor drag you down Want you to know we'll never drown This old submariner has been off shore for too long You've brought him back to solid ground Ill fuckin' swim to the surface I'll find what i've been searching for till now

This is a tribute for you an epitaph that you'll never hear for when you close your eyes it will be for the last time A frail woman in a hospital bed it was an image that I'll never forget I barely recognised her face as she struggled for each breath I sat alone in the waiting room still believing that you'd wake up soon but we didn't get our fairytale ending rest in peace my dearest friend they say that swans sing before they die a haunting hymn at the end of their lives to help us find beauty in the darkest of times you sacrificed so much gave all you had to bring me up taught me to stay positive but it gets hard without you to guide me so I listen to that voice within telling me to never give in I'll make you proud of me I'm living life vicariously everything I am I owe it all to you and all I'll become I dedicate to you These last few days have felt like years the clock seems to barely move time means nothing to me With the setting of the sun comes the haunted sleep I wish I had more photographs I'm surrounded by tragedy you've moved on to a better place well that's what they say I'll take solace in their faith but I believe in my own way I'll remember to sing your song when I feel like I can't carry on and keep your words close to me when I feel like I can't carry on hold on to the good memories when I feel like I can't carry on I'm thankful for all that I have when I feel like I can't carry on but angry for all that I've lost I cherish the time that we had I wish that I could move on

Got her head shaved when she was young felt better a means to an end shock and sympathy blinded till the end of the day by the rule of thumb why should it matter to a girl in a skirt chained to a building built by men desecrating the harmony panic on the streets there's no here she'd rather be when its over still be standing here purple white and green purple signifies dignity white for purity green for hope volatile votes categoric no crowded place to please ascot or aintree she just wants harmony smashing up windows and setting off bombs shes gonna go on hunger strike playing cat and mouse with her trousers on nothing quite like a womans strife would she have voted in 79 stuck a fucking bullet through thatchers eyes did emily need to die for us to carry on
