lyrics

When the cold hits your throat and you’re petrified
when your fear turns to hope and the reason you’ve been put here is to die

cause suicides alright in my eyes

well it fell out of your mouth
across the floor into the darkest corner of the deepest hole
it grew arms and legs and hands and feet and even more
until it turned into a monster we couldn’t ignore

and light speeds you and we come up
before we come down
the planets and the moons below us erupt
they’re erupting now
I don’t know when my feeling for you changed
I just know I don’t feel the same

because suicides alright in my eyes

Sweep it under the carpet
keep it under the trap door
paint the elephant in the room the same colours as the walls
take the train to anywhere
let the good times roll
have your hope displaced by fear
have your fear displaced by hope

and light speeds you and we come up
before we come down
the planets and the moons below us erupt
they’re erupting now
I don’t know when my feeling for you changed
I just know I don’t feel the same

Standing on your own
with an ordinance survey map
there’s a broken line
that leads to a railway station
with a hat full of conversations
we’ll find a way to bring you home

Check the time, there’s no way back
I’m standing on a railway track, I know
it leads to nowhere
