CLIMATE CONTROL LYRICS

1. This Time

It's taken forever to see you like this
To know what I'm missing on those nights all alone
It's taken forever to know you are home
To know I am home and it will always exist

This time I can't believe
That it's taken so long
Just to wake up and remember
That you are my victory
And I won't let you go
Until the earth starts to tremble
And we all, and we all fall off

I am in awe of you
And I intend to
Be more what you crave
Yeah, I want your soul to flower
With all these years and circumstance yeah it's been complicated
Go back to the time we started out and it was something pure
But I cannot forget your eyes
You've always helped me to survive

This time I can't believe
That it's taken so long
Just to wake up and remember
That you are my victory
And I won't let you go
Until the earth starts to tremble
And we all, and we all fall off

2. Before

And as we fade, so will the memories we've made
So will it all, and like a candle burn
Into dust of once formed things
But before you go…

Save me from a life filled with regret
From a fate we never met and always wonder
We're made of medicine
And it's the cure to each other's sins
I just hope we learn to let each other in

We always knew that these days would have to come
But we cast the thought behind the sun
In hopes they'd burn when out of sight
But in time, we knew would come the night
I've learned these thousand times we've said goodbye
That you are my sugar-coated sigh
Forever, always, but not quite yet

Save me from a life filled with regret
From a fate we never met and always wonder
We're made of medicine
And it's the cure to each other's sins
I just hope we learn to let each other in

3. The Eyes

We've wasted years
Should have made this vision real
Where you would be leaning up on me
Your eyes watching this unfold

You're waiting there with eyes filled up with memories that blind you

Our love was always aligned
(Away away away)
But you were never mine
(Away away)
Can you help me find
A way, a way out?
Do you still see me?

As much as you'd like to think it
This story's not black and white
It might have felt that way at first
But we are part of an ending that fate left behind

Our love was always aligned
(Away away away)
But you were never mine
(Away away)
Can you help me find
A way, a way out?
Do you still see me?

We live as cracks on the floor
It's not enough and it's broken
But we would never know that this would always be
A storm that melted away
An unfinished book that we started
We can't bear to look but
We can never leave

Have I let you down?
I thought that you would be here soon
Have I let you down or did you
Fade away in this fight?
Ashamed to even feel this
Consumed by everything
As we rewind
Replay this; replay this
Eternally.

4. Brand New

Hold them all
You know what lies in wait
Before it is too late, 'cause we are prone to wonder
So much more
To understand before
We're left to watch the veil flutter gently in their wake

And I know now
We lost the plot a long time ago

Collect your things
'Cause time is coming
To untie these strings
To the lives we're given
And I know now
We lost the plot a long time ago

We're left to do what calls our hearts
In spite of this, we let our roots get buried deep
And knowing that we'll all depart
We're consumed by this notion of our fate
That we create
We're living in wait…
We're living in wait.

Collect your things
'Cause time is coming
To untie these strings
To the lives we're given
And I know now
We lost the plot a long time ago

5. Hello

You and the sunlight in your hair
Linger in my mind
You let the world die when you left
And blamed it on me

An endless game, just running around
We fall apart…

Let's trade problems, you and me
We'll put on a smile and we'll make believe
That it's all better now
That we're all cured somehow
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
We'll pick apart our demons
And maybe down the line
We'll move on…

Just lay here and see the light spilling in
Golden shadows across our bodies tangled there
It's a place in our minds
We've been there alone for quite some time
So let's meet up far away in another life to make this real

Let's trade problems, you and me
We'll put on a smile and we'll make believe
That it's all better now
That we're all cured somehow
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
We'll pick apart our demons
And maybe down the line
We'll move on…

6. We Move Along

These days I've come to learn the awful truth
That there will always be another one of you
As much as your smile denies it, you know
I see through your frail disguises

Aside from the fall, I think I've been alright
Despite
This feeling that I have been wasting all
This light

Oh, you promised me
Oh, that you'd always be there

And in the end, we move along but don't forget
The simple words replaying over in our heads

We are in motion

Oh, you will not be
Oh, the end of me
I've rebuilt these walls and patched up the holes
I've locked this gate
Oh, until better days

7. After the Fall

Would you open your eyes and see
That you left me alone in the same room
The one that we built together
(when we thought we had time)
We'd sit and decide our fate
Without taking a step towards it
And knew we were both to blame

And when she's near
Will you look away, will you look away?
(further than this life)
That we hold so dear
And when she leaves
Will you be OK, will you be OK
After the fall?

You somehow expected me to be
The one with all the answers
Circumstance we shared the same
I was just as scared and powerless
Did you mean everything you said
Before this separation?

If I had known how many years would come to pass without resolution
I'd take a few more risks and stop sitting still like this
If I had known how much your eyes would haunt my waking hours
I'd tear down every structure in our way, and lead us home

And when she's near
Will you look away, will you look away?
(further than this life)
That we hold so dear
And when she leaves
Will you be OK, will you be OK
After the fall?

8. There Is No Rush

Living life from a backseat view
And never closer
Being there with you is not something I could do
Burning time with my back to you
Looking for answers
In longing for the past but neglecting what's ahead

You said, "Look forward to the things we all
Dreamed of when we were young…"

When we were younger, the world made sense in every way
The skies looked brighter and we felt so free
The years bring wisdom but the dimming of the light came along
And we all took our separate paths; we travel them alone

Do we believe in the world we knew
Or the one that now stands before us?
Do we enjoy this life
Or live it like they told us to?

…live it like they told us to
We're living on our strings
Like they told us to

Self-aware as I mourn my fading youth
Even writing these words down, my eyes burn
This life of love and loss looks balanced from afar
But inside, it burns…

Do we believe in the world we knew
Or the one that now stands before us?
Do we enjoy this life
Or live it like they told us to?

We fall.

9. Warrior

Inside your shelter, you pray for something more
But when the time comes, your broken heart exposes its claws

Who you are, who you are
I'll never know
Who you are, who you are

And I'll save the light that guided you here
Embrace the fight; enjoy the night
I'll say goodnight, and leave you here
Embrace the fight; enjoy the night

You shrink behind your mask again
I'd love to see your eyes…
These thoughts will rust and fall away
You'll stand there waiting
These memories will fall away

And I'll save the light that guided you here
Embrace the fight; enjoy the night
I'll say goodnight, and leave you here
Embrace the fight; enjoy the night

[Instrumental]

11. Kodokushi

I gave my life to someone else
They placed it on their highest shelf
So beautiful, so fragile yet
So poorly used, never broken in
One day our eyes began to dwell
On other things; we'd never tell
They glazed over as we lived inside
The constructs of our feeble minds

I only get home when I crash into you

Such endless comfort you bring to me
But I am the mountain, and you're the breeze
What if I can't return the favour?
Such astounding debt
Someone you haven't met…

I gave my life to someone else
They placed it on their highest shelf
So beautiful, so fragile yet
So poorly used, never broken in
One day our eyes began to dwell
On other things; we'd never tell
They glazed over as we lived inside
The constructs of our feeble minds

12. Little Mess Pt. II

You see how it ended
I'm asking for rest so we can lock this door for good
Like we know we should
And though the pages still ache with words unsaid
They'll have to remain that way

I am violently shaking, these tears have been falling like rain
The water's meant for the lawns of your heart, but it's wasted the same
It's dried up
We fade out
A cut scene of your house
Where we sat, and waited
For this to go somewhere.
Somewhere…

You see how it ended
I'm asking for rest so we can lock this door for good
Like we know we should
And though the pages still ache with words unsaid
They'll have to remain that way

When your heart has finally packed up and moved on
So discoloured from all the times we've left it out in the rain
Just remember that we were just too weak to move on
We're still standing there

You see how it ended
I'm asking for rest so we can lock this door for good
Like we know we should
And though the pages still ache with words unsaid
They'll have to remain that way
