YOUR DEMISE LYRICS

1. The Golden Age

We dress in black, black shoes, black coat, black hat.
The end is coming, but not as you know it,
Not the apocalypse, not the second coming, it's a golden something...
Ear to the ground you can hear the humming, so grab your loved ones, cos no one is safe.
Love is dead and there is no heart around your city.
The golden age is coming and there's nothing you can do,
Everything you heard is now coming true.
The golden age is coming and there's nothing you can do.
2000&forever bitch, it's coming down on you.
Rising up to the sky with our heads up high.
Watch the skies turn from black to gold, forever cold.
 

2. These Lights

Sitting on the six, take the long ride home, just me, myself and I.
Noise in my ears, gutless self pity swarms this journey here tonight.
Goodbyes and hellos, but I still sit on my own.
Over thinking thoughts of the day, writing stories for the souls that I barely know,
Common ground are the seats we share - day in day out, take care.
All these lights illuminate the streets and this green light lightens up my mind,
I'll stand forever just to be kind.
Maybe I make these people scream and shout every night, but I still share these late night sights.
Maybe losing their love make these people talk to no one (who knows - I could be one of them)
Goodbyes and hellos, but I still sit on my own.
All these lights illuminate the streets and this green light lightens up my mind,
I'll stand forever just to be kind.
 

3. Born A Snake

Born a fucking snake and die one too,
You hate your life and the world, lucky cause it hates you too.
Two faces, liar and a gutless fool, making enemies of people you call friends.

Into the void, that’s where you'll stay.

A life of nothing in that place you call home,
You hang on to past memories and remind yourself each day that everything's okay,
But you can hear it coming closer, I think it's time you stepped in the way.

A snake just scared of its own bite, so sink your teeth into my fucking neck.
A knife in my back, just leave it there as a reminder of the spineless kid you are.
"Dead end nights" - is that all you got?

4. Push Me Under

I've seen the fucking devil, but he was staring right back at me.
Perfect bodies and perfect people, God, I wish I was equal.
Just a porcelain dream, washing away my regrets day after day, if only you knew...
You see a happy boy care free with no troubles, but really just hollow and washed out.
I don't crave attention or perfection, just a personal mention and some happiness inside.
But I still wear this brave face with a smile - fuck it I'm 23 with key to the fucking world,
So why am I still going back to that mirror with the devil staring back at me?
Drag me down, push me under.
 

5. Paper Trails

Grip my hand so tightly and please never let me go,
A secret shared only with myself, who would've thought it would all come true.
(A teenage dream turn in to reality).
All I know is you (perfect in life), I’m just a young and hopeless fool.
I've always cared for you (been there for you), you just never knew.
So follow these paper trails that lead all the way back to me, pick up all the pieces.
I've got nothing except what you see, it’s a long way home with the sky pouring down on me.
We've all had our loves and fucked it either way, no lies, that's what all the people say,
But girl I mean that when I say I'm true (it's just me and you, you and me).
I've always cared for you, you just never knew.
 

6. Forget About Me

[feat. David Wood of Down To Nothing, Terror]

I know you’re proud, cos I’m living my dream and I’ve got my fucking team.

Best friends become good acquaintances and acquaintances don’t even speak my name,
I don’t blame them, I’m a ghost, a ghost that mixes with the most.

It feels good to be home, it’s been a long time, I lose track of life by the sea,
Changing faces just forget about me.
You know it feels good to be home, it’s been a long time, I lose track of life by the sea,
Changing faces just forget about me.

Hanging out is what we do best...

Losing track of life by the sea, don’t forget about me, I know you’re proud
‘Cos I’m living my dream and I’ve got my fucking team
You might think I’d forget you ‘cos I’m not the kid I used to be...
But I’m still burning and smile whenever you see me,
Now you know nothing has changed when you see me.

I know you’re proud
Cos I’m living my dream and I’ve got my fucking team, but this life by the sea is not mine
And it won’t heal with time.

7. I'm (Not) The One

I lace up those boots and keep on moving forward,
The weight of the world on my shoulders but the only thing crushing me is you.
Stuck in this loveless rut, I look to the skies with my eyes shut. (Three year funeral).
Just waiting to fill the coffin, as each nail goes in.
Resentment is hard, but pretending to love is harder,
I'm not the kid that you once knew, I'm not the one that you once knew?
All these complaints form a queue.
She left her love at home, she don't love no more.
(Motherfucker I'm just a loveless whore).
 

8. Never A Dull Moment

If one of us goes in then we all go through it,
Through it all in the worst of times.
Not a penny in our pockets, but you know we're as rich as kings.
Never a dull moment for life, it’s us against the world,
We'll make a moment out of nothing just so we don't forget.
So we burn one towards the night sky with our breath held tight,
With our peace signs held up high and this song in our minds.
You know we'll never stop till the last heart sings,
I'm telling our story ‘cos this ones for life.
We’re making memories outta trouble and strife, living on this knife edge.
Never a dull moment.
 

9. The Colour Of Envy

I'll lose my mind every night,
I look through these red eyes and think through a clouded mind.
Thoughts out of control, paranoia living on my back, the colour of envy.
The colour of envy, but I’m content, sinking down into life’s cement,
Just leave me here for a while.
Flying high with all of you, just let ourselves go for a night.
I'll keep these memories forever, but I'll forget them in the morning.
My life through these red eyes and a clouded mind.
I'll grow up one day soon but this time next year you'll be right back next to me,
Filling up my head with flawless plans that'll never surface.
This time next year you’ll be right back next to me.
 

10. A Decade Drifting

All I got are these maps in my head, an evening in my lungs and a compass in my heart.
I follow these roads to false hope, they guide nowhere, they always lead back to the start.
I’ve got you forever ‘til the day I die, but I’ve got to ask myself why,
And how can you die if you were already born dead?
A decade drifting, a decade sifting through this ill life that you bring,
My own words are gospel ‘cos who else can I believe in.
I'm sleeping alone tonight, I'll be fine on my own tonight,
I've found my own way home for years all alone.
I'm sleeping alone tonight, I'll be fine on my own tonight,
I've found my own way home enough.
I'll sleep alone tonight, cold sheets cover up this empty bed,
Warming up my empty head.
Just so you know I'm sleeping alone tonight, I'll sleep alone tomorrow,
But not forever. (Fuck you).
 

11. Worthless

Trying to make a monster out of me, just met with somber tone,
Hate stronger than me? A love greater than mine? A life better than ours?
Put me down and leave me for the dogs, you can't choose who dies, ‘cos you ain't God.
I'm in this ‘til the end, so suck up every last drop,
We’re in this moment ‘til our hearts stop.
Forever hated, you think that I'm lucky, but I lost everything that I’ve got.
I do this for the love, not what I receive.
Yeah you wanna get on it, and yeah you wanna hit on it,
But I could take a shit on it and it'll shine brighter than you.
Fill the air with opinions and judgement, you say you hate me, but there's no hope for you,
The bastards try to bring us down, you run your mouth like you’re fucking God,
But I'll cut you out like a worthless fucking dog.
