I know, I know,
sleeping seems like such a waste
Now that the big picture
has fallen from the frame
Well it is cold and dark these days
and I know how hard it is
To get up in the morning
just so easy to forget
That used to exist
while nothing else seems to stay
And our family trees
get an arm cut off every other day
There's a list of things
we said we'd do tomorrow
But tomorrow just slips away
like a blowfly in the heat
There's a black hole
above our heads
And it scares me to death
It swallows everything
Swallows everything
There's music in the streets
As we are walking home
An d we're almost crushed
By the sky hanging too low
Lately you say you fall trapped somewhere
in between the days
But that's as close as you ever got
to finding your own place
And then you fall asleep
on the bathroom floor
Until the morning I kept
knocking at the door
Inside don't you see the flame,
raging through my mind,
it swallows everything,
it swallows every fucking thing,
I'm so afraid that I can't breathe,
all those black holes haunting me
But sister I know you don't need my sympathy
Cause I think you are the
greatest per son on earth
And the sun won't do you justice,
while nothing ever did
And I know it's a cliché
but I meant to say that I love you
And you can believe me if I told you
I never wrote this line before
And I remember how you were scared
of all the dreams you might have had
And that you never found the place
where you felt safe
And how slowly I was sliding
down the telephone wire
Like nothing I didn't
care that much at all
Oh you know how hard I tried
And I'm get ting sentimental
About the nights we stayed awake
At Manor Hotel London in 2012
When you said we are useless,
but at least we have the music
We thought it would never end,
we thought it would never end
So my love and my best friend,
we should run as far as we can
Before life can catch up
to swallow everything
