lyrics

Nonetheless
You're in the midst of the concrete controlling your steps
Beneath the blizzard I'm aware how complacent you get
I hitch a ride on a cosmic train that's running away
They claw your war paint just to see the clown underneath
Smokescreens and the spotlights keep me at length
We curve the world but it's never really perfectly bent
I light a match just to burn all the oxygen out
To find it slows me down

Riding in the back of your car
You know I'll never mind
Running just to find where you are
And if it's warm inside
Maybe I can offer you harm
Under the city lights
We're downing bourbon back at the bar

I've been here before
There's no point hanging on your coat tails as you go
There's nothing darker than the darkness that we roam
I'm sinking slowly at an ocean's length from shore
Are we still burning up?
And you're still ready to go
If I'm the painter, you're the architect of my war
I'm throwing punches at a stone's throw from your door
And sinking slowly at an ocean's length from shore
Are we still burning up?

Nothing like the daylight
To burn a hole in my eyes
The lonely road and holy fright
From another point of view
Cause all the sunshine
Knows me in my worst nights
Crashing cross your bedside
Another day soon

*Pre-Chorus*

*Chorus*

We can swing round slowly as we try to relay
All of the tables we're turning whilst we're wrecking the place
I hear those cigarettes burning down the side of the stage
We're too cold and bemused
To wait for forever to change
