n competition for the worst first line I could use
In conversation for the first time Find salvation and breathe in each breath that I choose In competition for the worst time Brooklyn lies bleeding in the afternoon Always four or five steps from misfortune To drown out moments of revelation In competition for the worst time I know my name but I can't deny I talk in silence like I'm used to Graduation fits the worst time I could use Confidence for the first time Take the money and the drink you are going to refuse In competition for the worst time Glasgow lies bleeding in the afternoon A practical response to good fortune I dream my moments of revelation In competition for the worst time And though I know my name I still can't deny I talk in silence like I'm used to No matter how hard I try I talk in silence like I'm used to |

Can you hear the words I'm trying to find
for the feelings that define you There's no point in trying to hide from the skeleton that surrounds you So we speak no louder than a whisper when we're running from winter So we speak no louder than a song when we're falling all day falling all day long In whatever we say we show no emotion we show no emotion and when we kick back into the world of motion we show, we show no emotion Can you see ourselves and trying to hide the reasons that define you If there's a point in trying to find if there's an emptiness inside you So we speak no louder than a whisper means we're running from winter So we speak no louder than a song means we're falling all day falling all day long In whatever we say we show no emotion we show no emotion and when we kick back into the world of motion we show, we show no emotion Whatever we say we show no emotion we show no emotion and when we kick back into the world of motion we show, we show no emotion In whatever we say we show no emotion we show no emotion and when we kick back into the world of motion we show, we show no emotion |

It's knowing what's important
hidden lockets of your hair felt exactly every moment even moments we never share And all this land has been discovered every frame in-front of me is describing in a story a familiar history Through a city that's all closing atleast it's closing in on me but you're too old to remember or I'm too young to agree Secret teachings take me somewhere strange shadows gained and bottles drain let your tears fall in the shape of everyone of the American states If I could see your face before it's born and raised before it was born and raised in memories wake Reassure me into changing names vision strained a seconds change to be secure of everything if I could make another world We're like flies landing on flies we suffer what we never try so I slick my hair and I stamp my feet until the darkness until the darkness is complete If I could see your face before it's born and raised before it was born and raised in memories wake |

You could break me by the bones
until you break me inside You could drag me from my home and lay me down by the riverside Where there was lie in your eyes now we read by the night And still nothing's moved even denying what's true You might have all the facts but the truth is truth no matter how you act If it takes you, it takes you takes you home And if it takes you, takes you takes you home And if it tries to take you it takes you home home And if it takes you, it takes you takes you home You could take me on my own until you break me inside What's been divided by walls is now divided by night In my sleeping bag the metaphor of darkness, it's a light But it's all up to you even denying what's true You might claim to have the facts but the truth is truth no matter how you act If it takes you, it takes you takes you home And if it takes you, it takes you takes you home And if it tries to take you takes you home And if it takes you, it takes you takes you home |

When I look upon the heaven that happened
I realise that it's all around So we play our part in what's happening and what happens to you then happens to me and it's all around And the song sings all around me I'll let faith hold its fantasy as the song sings all around me you can steal what you love you can love what you steal One goes to heaven, one goes to hell like a national myth that is all around me and we couldn't find the rivers and mountains they were not on the map but true places never are they're only inside you and me And the song sings all around me I'll let faith hold its fantasy as the song sings all, all around me you can steal what you love but you can't love what you steal |

Take the hand that's holding up your head
with the hand that's holding your heart It's more than I am more than I am Hold your hand above your head wiser hands are heard above your heart It's more than I am to be more than I am And you and I are both away Oh, you and I we are walls away and we will never say nothing but what we say and we will never say nothing but what we say Didn't you know that this world is not meant to be dreamt in But what hurts me most is all the time that we've wasted I've wasted all the dreams in my head I'll have to move out of this country instead I'll have to move I'll have to move I'll have to move out of this country instead You and I are both away Oh, you and I we are walls away and we will never say nothing but what we say and we will never say nothing but what we say and we say |

What if your heart
is your only home you can go around maybe you wont go around And if your heart is your only home you can go around maybe you wont go around I watch you walk and you turn into yourself and extend into shadows like the days Hey, hey, hey alibi let me shout out your name there's a ghost in the arcade there's a ghost in the arcade Hey alibi let me shout out your name to explore exactly why we throw our lives away Don't wonder why I came I still remain And you wear your badge of pride with shame and I still remain Hey, hey, hey alibi let me shout out your name there's a ghost in the arcade there's a ghost in the arcade Hey alibi let me shout out your name to explore exactly why we throw our lives away |

To come apart in mountain tops
is to come apart in rain Every note creates a picture of a road worn over again You speak only in memories but what memories dictate is if you don't know what you want then what you want won't wait And he sparks a ten center as an epilogue waits it's a centre of attention and it's a road we won't leave behind So far away and I'm free from disguise but I can see the devil hiding in the circles around your eyes What do I signify when lifetime's away I can see that look in northern faces and looks are made from far off places And maybe the life waits over the hill over the hill while I wait |

The night begins
in early moments no easy moments the three of us are sitting up till dawn There are no outskirts to New York City If i'm leaving leave me gone I only ask you 'cos time won't tell you to leave me gone I only ask you when time tells you to stop Stop, the daylight coming past the ending like a mixture of everyone in the world We're all watching a film shown on gravestones of us leaving And the journeys start only as the journeys end and finished it remains and finished it remains Leave me gone I won't ask you if time won't tell you to leave me gone I won't ask you if time won't tell you to leave me gone |
