Lightning is frightening, but losing it more so
'Cos it lights up visions of you
I bathed in your light but quickly you took flight
Now I'm lost in dark feeling blue
I walked into the night, escape the only thing on my mind
I just wanted to hide in the dark night
Then I saw a flash, it was the moonlight from your face
Your light brightened my life in a split second then you were gone
Like a firefly
A shooting star across my navy sky
I was marooned
In deep dark black blue 'til there was you
Like a streak of golden cloud
Against my purple dusk
My heart's alive
If you don't return it'll die
You quickly came near and I felt your warm rays so close
Bliss crept into my dark soul
I wanted to eat you up, like eating ice cream from a cup
You were like a melting strobe light, but then you flew off into the night
Like a firefly
A shooting star across my navy sky
I was marooned
In deep dark black blue 'til there was you
Like a streak of golden cloud
Against my purple dusk
My heart's alive
If you don't return it'll die
Lightning is frightening, but losing it more so
'Cos it lights up visions of you
I bathed in your light but quickly you took flight
Now I'm lost in dark feeling blue
Where did you go?
Come back Helios
Where did you go?
Come back Helios
Like a firefly
A shooting star across my navy sky
I was marooned
In deep dark black blue 'til there was you
Like a streak of golden cloud
Against my purple dusk
My heart's alive
If you don't return it'll die

It's only you
All the orange and blue
I'm afraid but you make the night feel like
It's full of soft sunlight
I remember
You left me again
In sinking sand
In full demand of you
You on the phone
I'm all alone
In your home
In blue tone
But it's only you
It's only you
All the orange and blue
I'm afraid but you make the night feel like
It's full of soft sunlight
Such a dick
Make myself sick
Longing for you
The way I do
But it's green and blue
Ocean view
Orange sky
Low and high
It's only you
All the orange and blue
I'm afraid but you make the night feel like
It's full of soft sunlight
Creeping 'round your home
All I do is moan
Eating custard pie
It'll go straight to my thighs

True

The scent of your cologne drifts by on a summer breeze
Hits me like an allergy and I sneeze
I said I love you but it's just not enough
Not enough to make it true
Seems silly that I could believe
Believe it were you
My big eyes in my hungry heart
Landed me with stomach ache
Biting off more than I could chew
I thought it was you, but I lied
It wasn't true...
Walking along a dirty old lane
Thinking of you
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
I see a seagull land on shit
He pulls a chip off a rubbish tip
I think of you
Isn't that the correct thing to do?
So confused
Like pulling teeth to get you to say it
It was a rouse
But it's OK that you'll never pay it
I wouldn't wanna take it
Things I found in your room
I knew you were lying too, but with who?
I chose instead to sleep inside our lies
That was my disguise
The feeling dies...
I hear a rubbish truck's annoying beeps
And think of you
I narrowly avoid stepping in the shit
And think of you, under my shoe
I see a thief get chased down the street
And think of you
And the romantic things you'd do
But it's cool, I was lying too

No More Rain
04:56

In my mind there's an ocean breeze
Coloured lights on the warm blue seas
It's a place where I like to go
But so far from this
Place I've made my home
Winter's freezing me to my bones
Chilling my soul and I'm losing my mind
Becoming a grey person before my time
No more rain
It's not raining in my brain, it's not raining in my brain
It's insane
But it's raining every fucking where else
Why don't you run away?
I don't know where I'd go
You're causing your own pain
Is there a place where it's not grey?
Why don't you run away?
I don't know where I'd go
I just need to escape
If only I knew the way
I know I'm just having a moan
But I genuinely feel pretty low
When you never see the sun
You just feel you could reach for a gun
Fire it up into the air
What the fuck's going on up there?
Clouds of misery, veils of despair
I feel so hopeless, I'm lost
Why don't you run away?
I don't know where I'd go
You're causing your own pain
Is there a place where it's not grey?
Why don't you run away?
I don't know where I'd go
I just need to escape
If only I knew the way
No more rain
It's not raining in my brain, it's not raining in my brain
No more rain
It's not raining in my brain, it's not raining in my brain
Close your eyes
Can you see the clear blue skies?
In my mind
I'm floating in the atmosphere, far away from here
Why don't you run away?
I don't know where I'd go
You're causing your own pain
Is there a place where it's not grey?
Why don't you run away?
I don't know where I'd go
I just need to escape
If only I knew the way

Big Bad Dreams

Squat riding
Lazy hiding
Keep it tiny
How much you own?
Well just this here heiny
Well that'll make you a hefty dollar
You know, I know
Big bad dreams
Did you say you lost everything?
Well, yeah
Big bad dreams'll getcha
But stop dreaming
That'll kill ya stone dead
Money, don't want money spinning round in my head
You know, I know
Squat living
Who cares, I'm living
You're not living
If a shower's easily accessible
That means you're dead
You killed your dreams stone dead
They're dead
Big bad dreams
Did you say you lost everything?
Well, yeah
Big bad dreams'll getcha
But stop dreaming
That'll kill ya stone dead
Money, don't want money spinning round in my head
You know, I know
Trying to find the time to cry
Is easy when you've just been fired
Comes easy when you're lonely and tired
But you should feel inspired
The pain becomes hardwired
That's the time to flee from reality
But then again
Best watch out for...
Big bad dreams
Did you say you lost everything?
Well, yeah
Big bad dreams'll getcha
But stop dreaming
That'll kill ya stone dead
Money, don't want money spinning round in my head
You know, I know
You're a joker in their pack
Steal your life and turn their back
They'll sell your screams without a care
To the public's lupine stare

What Colour Are Ghosts

What colour are ghosts?
I asked you
Someone told me they're blue
Just like you
Can they fly?
If they can, can they take me away?
Are they alive?
I know they don't have a heart
Well neither do you, but you're alive
Supposedly, apparently
Maybe they're trying to
Kill me too
Same as you
That's the way I feel
For you
I want to float away
But you always find me
Pair of ghosts locked in purgatory
Where'd you throw the key?
I want to fly away
But you always reach me
Pair of ghosts drifting endlessly
Why'd you follow me?
Are ghosts like smoke?
Do they twist and turn
And rise to the top of the world?
Do they emote?
Do they cry tears
That twist and turn
Like I do at night
Like I do at night
What colour are ghosts?
Are they clear and see-through?
Clear as it is to see
I need to be free
But you can't see
The ghosts
No you can't see them
But if you could
You'd know
I'm about to go
I'm about to disappear
Into thin air
I'm about to disappear
Into thin air
Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you see me
Now you don't
