Lyrics



In a certain light
you see the string keeping me upright
You can see that I’m a million Light years
from finding home

I was a Highflyer, a white liar, a raging fire
Now a lonesome pariah
And I can’t save the world from itself


I can’t breathe so I guess I’m staying home so no-one else can see
I can’t sing cause singing songs ain’t ever helped a soul like me
In the end

In the morning light,
You see that I’ve been just too tired to fight
You see that I can’t travel in time
To get back to you

I am a half wild
Problem child
A blood red nile, not a rank-and-file and I
Wont tow the line anymore


I can’t breathe so I guess I’m staying home so no-one else can see
I can’t sing cause singing songs ain’t ever helped a soul like me
In the end



kill my gods and kill my ghosts
Let this goddamn government eat me whole
God knows i laid to rest
My armour and my beating chest
And god knows that I am Abel


I can’t breathe so I guess I’m staying home so no-one else can see
I can’t sing cause singing songs ain’t ever helped a soul like me
I can’t breathe so I guess I’m staying home so no-one else can see
I can’t sing cause singing songs ain’t ever helped a soul like me
In the end
