Startle me now like a deer in headlights
Rip apart everything I've come to know
I lack the abilities of trying to matter
or plotting plans to make you want me more.
When she leaves tell me.
Why don't we just go home?
because these hands on my head
don't feel like my own.
Fog in the fields shes a vision of darkness
My fists of light are always sent away
Its in the night she plays
The eyes on her face give me nothing but answers
to home truths i wish I'd never known
When did this all go so wrong?
Her name was Astrid,
used to brighten my life
the prettiest bow you'd see on a pin
but now shes got a one bedroom flat
and im just another queenless king,
just a queenless king.

Good Morning, Good Night

You were alive and I was a ghost
You had the prettiest bones that I'd ever seen
You know I'd eat you up
Please know I'd swallow you whole
I cant' see, guess I must have went blind
My ignorant eyes fall asleep on the floor
We don't talk anymore
And its such a shame because you were such a find.
You saw a light
And I saw a ghost
You clung to me
I was more reliable than most
You sold the night
Because I still see her
You clung to me
I was more reliable than most, I was more reliable than most.
A good captain goes down with his ship
I think I'd rather be damned than go down like this
My head's split, my spine's collapsed
My stomach's broke and my heart is a trap
I can't breathe, guess my lungs collapsed
They sit on the fireplace, what a perfect pair!
And its so hard to sleep tonight
And its getting hard, push off the everglow.
You were alive and I was a ghost
You were alive and I was a ghost
A good captain goes down with his ship
I think I'd rather be damned than go down like this
You were alive and I was a ghost.
You were alive and I was a ghost
You were alive and I was a ghost
A good captain goes down with his ship
I think I'd rather be damned than go down like this
My head's split, my mind's collapsed
My stomach's broke and my heart is a trap.

Iron & Thieves

The midnight thieves, they stole the floor.
You shot one one of these looks that told me everything that I needed to know.
I seen you there, under the arch of the ABC.
In four or five seconds you meant everything to me.
I was tired and I tried to leave but my dancing shoes had turned into left feet.
I was so confused as the lights shone down on me.
Now my heart is a mess because its dancing to a new beat.
If its just a game then I like the way you play.
I like the way you play, you've got a good set of rules about you.
I hope this night will never end
I hope this night will never end
its such a shame, these midnight games are a constant I could never change.
My demons are my friends
My demons are my friends
its such a shame, these midnight games are a constant I will never change.
Are you tired of being alone?
