FROST* LYRICS

1. First Day

There is never a survivor from a final kiss
I remember how I ended at the start of this
I lost a year in here or maybe more
No more…

2. Numbers

30 second paradise, saving up you pay the price
Line the eggs up in a line, come into my parlour now
Send the soldiers out to war, never seen our kind before
Coming under fire we're near alive don't stop it now

Numbers, we're numbers
Death is for the breathing
Life is for the leaving
Numbers, we're numbers
Hidden in the meaning
Seeing is believing

Numbers need numbers feed numbers breed numbers

Lay your life out in a line, not the one that you'd design
Time is moving faster, breathing getting harder now
You're a tumble of the dice, you're a living sacrifice
No shooting star you're just a falling satellite

Numbers, we're numbers
Death is for the breathing
Life is for the leaving
Numbers, we're numbers
Hidden in the meaning
Seeing is believing

Numbers need numbers feed numbers breed numbers
We lit the fire, we lit the fire, we feed the fire, we need the fire
We lit the fire, we lit the fire, we feed the fire, we need the fire

30 second paradise, giving up and telling lies
Line the eggs up in a line, come into my parlour now
Send the soldiers out to war, they have seen it all before
Coming under fire, no winners only losers.

Numbers, we're numbers
Death is for the breathing
Life is for the leaving
Numbers, we're numbers
Hidden in the meaning
Seeing is believing

Numbers, we're numbers
Years you wasted dreaming
Waiting for the meaning
Numbers, we're numbers
Time that you were leaving
Seeing is believing

3. Towerblock

They're knocking down my towerblock
The place where I grew up
When the walls start falling
I'm gonna be ready

My estately home
Cold fingers risen from the land
I grew up life on stone
In the palm of your toughened hand

(They're all gone gone gone gone gone gone)
The height lines on my bedroom door
(They're all gone gone gone gone gone gone)
My soldiers hiding under the floor
(They're all gone gone gone gone gone gone)
The never ending Monday nights
(It's all gone gone gone gone gone gone)
The sound of Friday stairwell fights

They're knocking down my towerblock
The place that I come from
When the walls are falling
I'm gonna be ready

They're knocking down my towerblock
The place that I ran from
When this all means nothing nothing
I'm gonna be ready

There is glass on the carpet
There is dust in the air
This deafening wonder
But I wish that you were here

This space was a battleground
This place was a war
You beat me, now I beat you
As they tear it to the floor
I'm the only survivor
Of a life I've never known
There'll be nothing left of your devastation

4. Signs

I dream of an open field
Where I bury big ideas
Standing in an open space
Quietly waiting just in case

Oh this doesn't signify
A passion filled co-incidence reply
And well, you should have seen the signs
They lay scattered here like living land mines

Telling your friends that you've just out grown them
Bury it, won't you bury it in the sand?
Telling your parents you hardly know them
Holding it, are you holding it in your hand?

I dream of an open page
Where I pencil all my rage
Standing on a question mark
Wish that I could lift the dark

But oh it doesn't matter how
I have closed the episode for now
And yes you should have seen the signs
We go round again another thousand times

Telling your friends that you've just out grown them
Bury it, won't you bury it in the sand?
Telling your parents you hardly know them
Holding it, are you holding it in your hand?
Telling yourself that you're made of failure
Bury it, won't you bury it in the sand?
Telling a lie that you can't remember
Holding it, are you holding it in your hand?

Now I'm flying away from this nightmare
And I'm flying so far from my fear
And as oxygen leaves this experience
With my memory stuck on repeat

So I wish you all the best
Emperor's clothes and beaten chest, down
Dream in six and seven
Laughing at the gates of heaven, how

Where are your leaders yeah where are your saviours?
How more of this distance to go?
We gave up believing in fate or divinity
Love we forgot long ago
We're falling away now
Forgetting our way home
There's nothing to say now
Not at all

Telling your friends that you've just outgrown them
Bury your head in the sand
Telling your parents you hardly them
Holding their past in your hand
Telling yourself that you're made of failure
Bury your head in the sand
Telling a lie that you can't remember
Holding the past in your hand

5. Lights Out

As my world gets small
I evolve in this red liquid light
While my thoughts grow tall
The outsider sings to me at night

So I drink it in
My life is running with the tide
Love me outside in
Joy with every kick I try

You'll be fine
Life of mine

Lights out, lights out
I just want the chance to see before
Lights out, lights out
Lights out, lights out
I just want the chance to be before the
Light's out, light's out

Such a sad sound woke me up
It sounded like such pain
And the voice where that sound came from
Never sang to me again

So my world grows colder
I find it hard to understand
Feel my thoughts grow small
I can't see my hands…

Hushabye
Don't you cry

Dead of night
I think I must be dreaming
I close my eyes
Sleep tight

6. Heartstrings

He was never into pale reflection
He was never into fireside
Always wishing on a World War Christmas
Mummy smiling down without her eyes

Round and round in circles
Pushing out the past
I don't want you she said, paint this picture fast

Hear you breathing so lightly…

Trying to cover your blinded side
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run from the old demise (you know who you are)
Trying to count, but the clock says nil
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run, but you just stand still
Fill your lungs with air

Could you lie here when the ceiling crumbles
Can you swim beneath a steely sea
Open letter to an absent parent
In the fire with the enemy

Round and round in circles
Pushing out the past
I don't want you she said, leave this picture fast

Hear you breathing so lightly…

Trying to cover your blinded side
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run from the old demise (you know who you are)
Trying to count, but the clock says nil
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run, but you just stand still
Fill your lungs with air

Round and round in circles
Running out of air
Caught in endless cycles
Burn all the bridges if you dare

7. Closer To The Sun

You are the ghost of everyone
And anyone who's ever been loved
You are the said and done

We are the forms of everything
And anything that's ever been lost
We are the lonely ones

But I feel closer to the sun
Let me be closer to the sun
Just to know I'm not the only one
Is to be closer to the sun

These are the days of reckoning
For everyone forever before
We are the running scared

We are the sound of memories
The shadows of the feelings that we wore
Just pictures on a wall

But I feel closer to the sun
Let me be closer to the sun
Now I know I'm not the only one
I'll sleep closer to the sun

8. The Raging Against The Dying Of The Light Blues In 7/8

Woke up this morning, I'm the last man standing
It's a colder world that I see when there's nobody left to save me

Deep November damage gets you down
Not so clever when the king forgets his crown

War in the numbers, this childhood of mine
6 years of Septembers, best days of my life
I remember the lights from the fires in the sky
They brought us together and taught us to hide

I burned so bright, but I'm just a human candle set alight
I flew so high now I'm nothing but a falling satellite

Days get darker and the nights keep on drawing in
I got a hollow head and a hollow heart leaving me without within

Fading song, we sing along, but when it's gone I'm gone

The face in the mirror
I know every line
Old bones hammered thinner
By distance and time
Can't remember the names, but the faces survive
I'm trying to fight, but they keep me alive

I burned so bright, but I'm just a human candle set alight
I flew so high now I'm nothing but a falling satellite

I'm said, I'm done
No hide, no run
No light, no sun
But it's alright
I'm old video
Long gone radio
Someone you used to know
Who I used to know

Same river, same ocean, same life again
Seen seldom relations. Driving in rain.
The sum of existence, the years we lost.
We all fall back to earth, ashes and dust.

9. Nice Day For It...

Let me be closer to the sun
Let me be closer to the sun

There is never a survivor from a final kiss
I remember how it ended at the start of this
I love a year in here of maybe more and more

I need air

10. Hypoventilate

11. Last Day

The air is warming up again
The summer sounds are like old friends
I see the sunlight through the trees
I wonder if the sun can see me?
I hear the echoes of those days
Reflecting back at me in waves
Carved into benches I'll remain
With names I'll never say again

Like children's handprints in old concrete
The things we leave behind
Slowly lose their meaning
When paths get hard to find

Handprints in old concrete
Ghosts we leave behind
Fingers with no feeling
This world I leave behind

The air is warming up again
The summer sounds are like old friends
I feel the sunlight through the trees

12. Lantern

Silently, suddenly, comes the ghost at your side
Quietest enemy inside the dream

Perfectly this reprieve, taken, but not given
Loneliness, like a mist lost to the sea

Eyes like violence cut desire and float down to the chair
Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware

Say you'll wait 'til morning
Say you won't run away (even today)
Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now)

I believe make believe, play like snakes in your hair
Empathy, up my sleeve, not really there
Child's play in the waves by this silent lighthouse
Drowning fast, pushing hard, nature less care

Eyes like mice, cut through the lies and humourless despair
Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware

Inside this whirlpool you find yourself spinning and ebbing and flowing to me
Nightmare diversion a hopeless uncertainty play in the wild wild sea

Say you'll wait 'til morning
Say you won't run away (even today)
Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now)

13. British Wintertime

I'm nervous as hell
But I must do this for myself
I walk the road that leads to your house
Worn words would never do
This happens face to face

Something that I've got to say

I'm at your door…
