Good for Nothing

I’m good for nothing
Even when there’s nothing to do
I can’t face the future
I can’t even face facing you
This morning, the road glistened
Refracting like a mirror wrought of stone
The light fell through the bare branches
And in that moment everything was known
And it felt like we were all burning
Or snowblind in a world devoid of snow
Like the whole planet had stopped turning
And the final arctic wind had ceased to blow
But when the real end came you didn’t know it at all
You looked it in the face and you felt so small
All of the, all of the time
All of the, all of the time
Yeah when the real end came you didn’t know it at all
You looked it in the face and you felt so small
I was useless, I was useless
I’m good for nothing
Even when there’s nothing to do
I can’t face the future
I can’t even face facing you

I never wanna know you
Can I make that true now
Take the choice away from me
‘Cos everything I show you
Everything that you feel
No one else was there you see
Hey! Reservoir rising
I was with you there, it wasn’t surprising
I was in your name doing the talking
I was in your name, I wasn’t walking
I never wanna know you
Can I make that true now
Take the choice away from me
‘Cos everything they show you
Everything that you feel
No one else was there you see
Hey! Reservoir rising
I was with you there, it wasn’t surprising
I was in your name doing the talking
I was in your name, I wasn’t walking
Hey! Reservoir rising
I was with you there, it wasn’t surprising
I was in your name doing the talking
I was in your name, I wasn’t walking

So

So
You say my corpse needs opening
Society’s a broken thing
To let the ice age in
Now
You’ve come too far to change your mind
Your country’s dead but that’s alright
You couldn’t make them see
Look
Behind you at the smoking glass
The panic button’s in your grasp
Don’t let it fall away
Don't
Stop caring that you’re not alone
They're watching when you’re on your own
So you don't turn extreme
Every day is rain
Every day is rain
Every day I step outside
The sky is grey again
Life's a steady state
Life's a steady state
And everything you thought might take our lives back from the dirt
Is gonna have to wait
You've come too far to change your mind
You've come too far to change your mind
Forgotten what you thought you'd find
Forgotten why you're here

Waste Time
05:46

It’s so easy to waste time
You don’t even notice
Looking back again
You don’t know how you didn’t know this
And at the end of things
You realise what you’ve done has come to nothing
That only reason you were happy was that
You always thought you were on the verge of something
You never want to waste your time
I can’t help but notice
Looking back again
I can’t see how you didn’t know this
But at the end of things
There’s always something else that overtakes you
It’s like you think that when you break out of your schedule
That’ll be the day that time forsakes you
Everything in my life
Everything in my life
When there was no more time
We didn’t even notice
Looking back again
I can’t see how you didn’t know this
‘Cos at the end of things
We realised all we’ve done has come to nothing
The only reason we could sleep at night was
We always thought that something else was coming
It’s so easy to waste time
You don’t even notice
Looking back again
You don’t know how you didn’t know this
And at the end of things
You look back and you know what you’ve achieved has come to nothing
The only reason you were happy was that
You always thought you were on the verge of something

I haven’t seen you for over a week now
The internet went down
I broke all my phone and I broke all my windows
And I can’t see it now
Just think of all the times that I was wrong
That I was wrong
Just think of all the times that I was wrong
That I was wrong
Staring at the table down my field of vision
I am not the master, I go where I’m bidden
Sorry for the waste it’s just what comes with living
If you get your grades then you will be forgiven
And-I-and-I-and-I-
I get that feeling when your name appears
Even though I know you don’t care
I know my mind has been doing this for years
Though there’s never anything there
I make the wrong call it’s burned right into me
Easier to fail than try
We’re both aware that you’re seeing right through me
Palpitating under the sky
I can see the parallel world
I can see the parallel worlds
Turning on the moon
Let’s express ourselves together
If the game is worth the candle
If the core is worth the mantle
Though I know there’s nothing to say
Oh the air is a placebo
But we’ve come too far already
(And you’re) telling me it’s ok
Friday night in Cambridge
Just think of all the times that I was wrong
That I was wrong
Just think of all the times that I was wrong
That I was wrong

Friday comes round again
And you’re floating through the world, there’s a reason why
Purge the ephemera
‘Cos there’s nothing you can do even if you try
We’re all still wondering/ wandering
And I don’t see no conclusion come my way
What keeps you on the track
When the world has you going like
How do I rationalise this?
Rationalise this now?
How do I rationalise this?
Rationalise this how?
You’re walking through the city at night
And everybody’s trying to carve out their lives
Guess I tried to warn you but
I don’t really know what the answer is
Sorry for what I’ve done
I wish that I could say there’s a reason why
But when you find yourself here
There is nothing you can do even if you try
We can’t just shape our ends
But I’m hewing at the bark till it goes my way
What keeps you on the track
When you turn to yourself and shout
How do I rationalise this?
Rationalise this now?
How do I rationalise this?
Rationalise this how?
How do I rationalise this?
Rationalise this now?
How do I rationalise this?
Rationalise this how?

Dust

I don't think I could change a thing
I couldn't have if I tried
But I just kept on reaching out
Even though I knew what I would find
And when I felt nothing was there
I'd just go back inside my shell
Till I decided not to care
‘Cos caring hadn't served me well
You're making me more suspicious
You're making me more suspicious
I feel like you're wracked with guilt
No sir I'm just always like this
No sir I'm just always like this
I told you it's not my fault
Yeah I dreamt that the world was ending
I dreamt that the world was ending
I dreamt we were gone for good
But I knew it was all pretending
I knew it was all pretending
When I woke up and heard the birds
And every time I walked away
And every time they told me no
I didn't know what I could say
‘Cos there was nowhere else to go
But I knew that this wasn't me
Didn't know where it was coming from
I just regurgitated what I'd seen
In the hope that it would take a form
You're making me more suspicious
You're making me more suspicious
I feel like you're wracked with guilt
Like the ground's fallen out beneath you
Like the ground's fallen out beneath you
And you think that it's all your fault
Just get back to your revision
Get back to your revision
‘Cos you know it's the only way
And if you fail you'll be so far from
If you fail you'll be so far from
Where you think that you are today

Electric Light
03:54
|

I walk home alone
Half inside my head
Till the roar of the traffic tears me away
All my thoughts repeat
I need something new
But the circles I walk in all look the same
Night falls on the woods and fields and factories
And all that’s left’s electric light
The world that we’ve created
The world we’ll leave behind
And I’m inside my head
Stuck within this life
In a world I was made to take as my own
All my thoughts repeat
I’d admit defeat
But the mess that we’re in won’t leave us alone
We’ll be standing here till we’re crushed to the bone
Night falls on the woods and fields and factories
And all that’s left’s electric light
The world that we’ve created
The world we’ll leave behind
And all I need is a get out clause
To make my futures real
But I just see what’s in front of me
And that’s all I can feel
‘Cos we should have a say in
The world we’ll leave behind

Yeah You Can Take It!
04:37

I was literally five feet from you
I could’ve spoken up
Don’t know what the hell I’d have said but
It would be better than standing in the shadows
I don’t know why you put me here?
Was something meant to be?
I tried to change it all just by thinking
But all my thoughts would just leave me where I am now
And I’ll wait
As long as you like
‘Cos nothing really matters if it turns out alright
I can suffer in the present and I’ll do it in style
If something comes along that’ll make it all worthwhile
Yeah you can take it!
There’s so much I don’t need
But the one thing that I want is the one I can’t see
But your narrative delusions won’t help you no more
‘Cos nothing that you wanted ever happened before
It’s dark round my head and no words can be spoken
My eyes are all wide and my ankles are broken
The one thing that I want
The one thing that I want is the one I can’t see
