Company 04:34
Is it wrong to feel alive in the dead of night
? Numb to everything but our thoughts
. We never noticed the world kept moving round
, Never noticed mountains were about to fall

. Used to lean backwards over fire, 
Just to feel danger hold my waist
. All we want is to be and feel loved
, And let its vague directions map our fate

. Now my hearts beating still as wild
, Though you’ve been gone for a while

. Can you keep the night satisfied
? With your stone cold skin and your eager eyes. 
You never even left your words to lie
, Beside me, holding me
. Beside me, solving me
. Your ghost is my company. 

 Wear your choices all around your body, 
Wrapped like a safety blanket of your life
. Recklessness is such a sweet sensation, 
I guess we held the wrong end of the knife. 

 Now my heart's beating still as wild, Thought you've been gone for a while. All i wanted was to see you smile one last time. Can you keep the night satisfied
? With your stone cold skin and your eager eyes. 
You never even left your words to lie
, Beside me, holding me
. Beside me, solving me. Can you keep the night satisfied
? With your stone cold skin and your eager eyes. 
You never even left your words to lie
, Beside me, holding me
. Beside me, solving me. Your ghost, Your ghost, Is my company.

I used to chase your shadows with a feather, 
Just trying to bring some light to your dark. 
I used to try to trace your touch on my skin, But it’s like you disappeared without a mark.

 Cos I tried, I tried, I tried my hardest, 
But I know i’m just not where your heart is
. And I tried, I tried, I tried to keep you strong, 
Didn’t know that right answers could be so wrong. But I'm sorry I'm not sorry and I'm sorry that you lied, And I'm sorry I'm not perfect when I break down and cry.
 I'm not sorry that its over or sad now that you’re gone
, And I'm sorry but I’m done here and now I’m moving on, I’m moving on.

 The days all fade so quickly into one
, My broken mind goes round and round again
. And I wanted to stay by your side all night, 
But you look straight through me and my pain

. Cos I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried my hardest, 
But I know, I know I’m just not where your heart is
. And I tried, I tried, I tried to keep you strong, Didn’t know that right answers could be so wrong.
 But I'm sorry I'm not sorry and I'm sorry that you lied, And I'm sorry I'm not perfect when I break down and cry
. I'm not sorry that its over or sad now that you’re gone
, And I'm sorry but I’m done here and now I’m moving on, I’m moving on

. You take my hand when you’re lonely
, I fall back and you’re gone
. You ring me up when you’re fragile
, Cos tonight you can’t be on your own
, You don’t want to be alone
, You don’t want to be alone
. 

 But I'm sorry I'm not sorry and I'm sorry that you lied, And I'm sorry I'm not perfect when I break down and cry
. I'm not sorry that its over or sad now that you’re gone
, And I'm sorry but I’m done here and now I’m moving on, I’m moving on. I'm moving on, I'm moving on.

Not Again 03:26
Tie your broken pieces back together, With the pieces of the string that I cut loose. I was playing in your circus for a while, But you never seemed to look so what's the use? You've been changing for a while, You've been changing for a while. You've got secrets in the bed sheets, You had me wrapped up in a chain. You asked me to change my ways, I'd rather stay the same. You got monsters in the wardrobe, You got demons in your brain. You said one more chance I love you but I can't do that again, Not again. Give me back the freedom that we lost, Like eagles stuck in a bird's cage. You never gave me signs that you cared at all, You got tired of the book at the first page. You've been changing for a while, You've been changing for a while. You've got secrets in the bed sheets, You had me wrapped up in a chain. You asked me to change my ways, I'd rather stay the same. You got monsters in the wardrobe, You got demons in your brain. You said one more chance I love you but I can't do that again, Not again. And I won't do that again, Cos it always stays the same. Hide your feelings all away In the wardrobe in your brain, In the wardrobe in your brain. You've got secrets in the bed sheets, You had me wrapped up in a chain. You've got secrets in the bed sheets, You had me wrapped up in a chain. You asked me to change my ways, I'd rather stay the same. You've got monsters in the wardrobe, You've got demons in your brain. You said one more chance I love you but I won't do that again, Not again, Not again, Not again.

Mess 03:27
She always watched the flames, 
They stopped her going mad, 
But the fire always burned too close, 
So then she dropped the match. 
 She’s full up with feelings but there’s no room in her head. She closes her eyes, she turns to the sky and says; 
 Can you hear me now? My voice is fading, my voice is fading. 
Take off this skin, My body’s aching, my body’s aching
. I wanna get out of inside, 
Cos im a mess is that alright? 
Is that alright? He strings the words along
, Cuts them up so they don’t hurt
. When the mist and haze and the storm fades, 
It's still all a blur, It's still all a blur. And he’s tired of aching his heart and breaking his head
. He turns out the lights and looks outside and says. Can you hear me now? My voice is fading, my voice is fading. Take off this skin, My body’s aching, my body’s aching. I wanna get out of inside, Cos i’m a mess is that alright? Is that... 

Too much to take? When the moonlight fades, 
In the light of the day, They’re just a mess. They’re just a mess, In their bodies in their heads
, Fall for someone else instead. I’m just a mess. I’m just a mess.

Walls 05:01
Falling backwards, thinking the worst, We never see when we have it all
. I was hiding from nothing, Avoiding finding out how it feels to fall. But I don't know, I don't know, How this goes, how this goes. Cos you, you got me, Stuck in a place I wasn't going, Stuck in a place I wanna stay. And now all the words fall out, Before they stayed so silent, In the pieces of my brain. And my heart's built up by bricks, made out of flaws, I'm still holding fear but you break, You break my walls. Stare the sun down, breathing in the sound, Of myself feeling something. Let's keep looking, let's keep moving, Past the places that have gone and been. Cos I don't care, I don't care, Let's go anywhere, anywhere. Cos you, you got me Stuck in a place I wasn't going, Stuck in place I wanna stay. And now all the words fall out, Before they stayed so silent, In the pieces of my brain. My hearts built up by bricks, made out of flaws. And im still holding fear but you break, Break my walls. Cos you, you got me Stuck in a place I wasn't going, Stuck in place I wanna stay. And now all the words fall out, Before they stayed so silent, In the pieces of my brain. My hearts built up by bricks, made out of flaws. And im still holding fear but you break, You break my walls.
