I’m feeling sort of disconnected
A million ways to play but I wish it wasn’t so
The ones I knew I hardly know, but then I never truly did
Faded words on the back of my hands
Something creeping up the walls
Scared of what I didn’t know but nothing really changes
Nothing really changes, nothing really changes does it?
And it’s time for you to keep your distance
You know the brighter side is not so clear cut
Nothing really compares to a spiral down
It’s the story of a life
Don’t get depressed they say
There’s always another day
You’ll conquer it all in your stride
No, no we don’t change
We don't change
A girl I knew she taunts me from an LCD
The darker side of social sites that chip away at me
I always wear my colour but something’s washing over
With me it’s understated but it’s coming out in phases
And it’s time for you to keep your distance
You know the brighter side is not so clear cut
Hope you’ll forgive me if I keep my eyes shut
Nothing really compares to a spiral down
It’s the story of a life
Don’t get depressed they say
There’s always another day
To conquer it all in your stride
No, no we don’t change
There’s something creeping up my spine
I know exactly know it got inside
It’s rattling around inside my mind
Nothing really compares to a spiral down
It’s the story of a life
Don’t get depressed they say
There’s always another day
To conquer it all in your stride
But we don’t change

We couldn’t possibly prepare
For the coming day that this all changes
We promise only with our eyes
Superstitious fear of telling lies
And turning the dark against us
No we can’t know
Which way it goes
But I don't want to let you go
We’re pioneers in this together
Feels like we’re sailing west
Don’t know what we might find there in the new world
Fall off the map and die
Or wake to find the bluest skies
Carry out the plans we made the year before
But we don’t know which way
The river flows
But I never want to see you go
We’re pioneers in this together
So soon you’re gone
I’ll watch you take the plane, I won’t get on
Wish it was black and white
Wish it was black and white
Wish it was black and white
Sometimes I don’t know myself
Too many types of grey to know if I’m being someone else
But your brown eyes they can see me right

I'm not a pessimist I
Just sometimes see the world as it is
But I prefer to just stay numb
If I don't I'll come undone
Unravel like a string
Lose a piece and I'll know it's won
Now I've worked it out
I realise why I drove your love away
I know that I was not a man
But masterful at forcing you to stay
Would you listen if I broke down at your feet?
Would you let me raise my hands and say I'm the fool?
I could ask for another chance but I won't lie to myself, no I know
The last chance was some time ago
Closing time
And all the people all around me fall in line
It's all a cold machine
I see it all through eyes of damaged green
I'm barefoot on the pedals and I'm blistering
At times you were a bitch to me
But it's just because I drove your love away
I know that I was bad for you
I know why you had nothing more to say
Would you listen if I broke down at your feet?
Would you let me raise my hands and say I'm the fool?
I could ask for another chance but I won't lie to myself, no I know
The last chance was some time ago
I'd like to think that I'm just late but I know it's worse
I'd like to tell you what I am but you know it
I know the moment that I left you I was cursed
I know my life is done so I won't feel it

Starting out, I knew that I could be the person who would change the world
With the rest I stood my ground against the other side, and then I won the house with clever words
Then we built the web with steel and promises, and we kicked the liars from the game
I was the one who cared, and when they called for me, I helped the ones who needed it the most
Then the web it turned on me and I got caught, it pulled me down and then I was gone, gone
And the lies came crashing down
You know we had some good intentions at the start but I guess we lost it
You know I used to be the one who had a heart but I just stopped caring
So we learned to play the darker games, Pandora learned to leave the box unchained, we help ourselves to what’s inside
But I can’t get enough, I’ll look anywhere for it, I want the key to every door, I’ll cross the floor if I can get something more
I am the trusted one, but I’ll sell out, I’m a sinner with a vice, every pocket has a price
I know I used to be so different at the start but I guess I lost it
You know we used to be so good then fell apart ‘cause we just stopped caring
And if the men with pen and paper should find out, well I guess I’ll take the fall
Was I always like I am, did I change?
I know I’ve always liked the power, but it’s strange
You know I used to be the one who had a heart, but I just stopped caring
