Break the lectern
I could never fear a night that I survive
Find a tame locale
I've got to counter all my wasted time
But the spectre of eighteen pierces into me
And I see the flaws all on the back of my hand
There's peace on the sidelines, far from the outside
And I'll be alone before I really understand
I'm awake and awaiting
Leaving where you should know
Just leave me one last dream
Before I go comatose
Awake and awaiting
Leaving where you should know
Just leave me one last dream
Before I go comatose
Take the pressure off
Collate the ladders I won't need inside
Days are following fast
In all the riots I might need a sign of life
But the saint on the TV means nothing to me
And I see him calling, we are nothing but the same
I saw through the lines all burned into old heart and mind
I'm not going to pretend another day
I'm awake and awaiting
Leaving where you should know
Just leave me one last dream
Before I go comatose
Awake and awaiting
Leaving where you should know
Just leave me one last dream
Before I go comatose
Awake and awaiting
Leaving where you should know
Just leave me one last dream
Before I go comatose
Awake and awaiting
Leaving where you should know
Just leave me one last dream
Before I go comatose

Lyrics:
Only a rest and I get caught in the headlights
Sailing to the edge alone I go
Taking in the air I know
In a world I own I can feel at home
Stealing away or awaiting a moment
Floating through an earth that I forgo
It’s sweeter for a bitter soul
In a silent hole there’s a fire that goes
Burn all the bridges in your wake
Flaming dawn, move beyond your wasted days
I’ve been fading away from the figures above me
Living well where only I will find
Devil’s gonna wait in line
He can burn my time if it clears my mind
Racing away from the vices that held me
Purging through the excess that I loathe
Suppression makes a better soul
In a silent hole only I can go
Burn all that’s standing in your way
Breathing out, there’s a life that you can make
Throwing off all your fears and your restraints
Breathing out, you will find a better place
Burn all that’s standing in your way
Breathing out, there’s a life that you can make
Throwing off all your fears and your restraints
Breathing out, you will find a better place

Great tumbling walls, a solemn vow
Keep your eyes to the ocean
Four silhouettes in an empty house
Set the plan into motion
An old man's waiting beside you feeding your fear
'Til the last of it's gone
The landlord, he couldn't last 'til the end of a year
We've been waiting so long
I'm looking at the silent strangers, paid them all to work
I saw your face in the glass and I let it all burn
There's a couple other families around all fading to dirt
There is nothing better for her now than some peace from the world
Eight fingers marking the walls of glass
There were hours to falter
Hearts clinging on to an empty past
That says nothing at all
I kept my face on the ground, you weren't making it easy
There'll be justice, I swore
But you let the cane off my back just so I saw you leaving
Tell me what it was for
I'm looking at the silent strangers, paid them all to work
I saw your face in the glass and I let it all burn
There's a couple other families around all fading to dirt
There is nothing better for her now than some peace from the world
See I waited day upon night just to see how it ended
I could never have known
That I never needed the love or the praise or attention
You were after my soul
And I kept my eyes to the ground just like you said I needed
But the concrete's so cold
When I lost a sister and a mum in the space of a week
I have got to let go
And now the ceiling's cracked I can freely stand
I saw my face in the glass and I threw it away
There is nothing left for me to fear when I'm barely here
I guess there's nothing else that it's for, another worker dead
I guess there's nothing else that it's for, another father figure dead

Put your heart in the cupboard
I can hold it tight for winter
You can see the voice of reason
He'll be coming home for dinner
You'll build a fortress
Just to keep yourself against it
But in a day you'll be growing up
And I'm here to make it painless
I will find my way
But I'll make it work in the meantime
In a state of art and a waste of my mind
The world grew ancient
And my castle is decaying
An empty box, a steady loss
With nothing that's worth saving
Even my lover
I can see her in the ether
I dialled up a happy number
No-one's left around to answer
I will find my way
But I'll make it work in the meantime
In a state of art and a waste of my mind
I will find my way
In a suffocating repression
Tell me that I will enjoy the view
