Coming Home
04:45

Well I was your captain once, but then I sank your ship
Left the passengers all on the rocks
I went looking for a different ship and sank that too
I guess I just wasn't cut out for this job
And head over heels, and heels over ass
I went looking for the future, but only found the past
Just another mistaken, that cut too close to the bone
And when you coming home, when you coming home?
When you coming home?
Well I built your castle once, I built it out of sand
Until the turrets touched the sky
I went looking for your face to show you our new home
But then in came the tide
And turrets over towers, towers over balconies
I stood and watched our home be washed out by the sea
Just another mistake, if only I'd have known
And when you coming home, when you coming home?
When you coming home?
I was your officer, but I corrupted myself
Left my morals at the door
Traded in my badge for a petty thief
And you don't want me anymore
Head over heels, and heels over ass,
I keep making the same mistakes that I made in the past
I keep looking for another job and someone to call my own
Cause you never did come home, and you ain't coming home
When you coming home?
Well I was your captain once but then I sank your ship
And those passengers are still on the rocks

Revelations
04:24
|

Hey there put a song now on the jukebox, girl
It's sobered up enough to play your favourite riff
And the boy with the guitar swears that he's a god
What a shame that everybody here is an atheist
And what a shame it is to spill angels' blood
And draw a smile on the page
And what a shame it is to clip angels' wings
And keep them in a cage
You keep them in a cage
You lean in closer to me and you whisper softly
"What do I do when I get to the door?
'Cause I have faith but I swear that Jesus mocks me
Who do you pray to when you're praying there's a god damned God?"
And what do I do when I get to those pearly gates
And what if there's no room
What if Peter goes outside on a cigarette break
And what if there's a queue?
What if there's a queue?
What if they've employed a 'one out - one in' system?
"It's nothing personal, you just should have got here earlier"
Do you think you could put a word in for me, Mister?
And why is death on my mind, I've never been happier
I've been happier
And all the shelter that you give to those who can go without
Have you any room left for me, to hide me from my doubts?
'Cause I've been sleeping in the river when my heart's on fire
Crushed by the revelation that my whole live is a lie
When it all gets too much for me I swear I'm falling apart
I retreat back to the water, put out the fires in my heart
When it all gets too much for me I swear I'm about to die
Atleast it makes me feel alive. God knows I want to feel alive
I want to feel the presence of cold air in my lungs
I want to feel the grace of prayer on my tongue
I want to feel the doom and gloom of those funeral drums
I want to make my mother proud
I want to see what life is like on the other side
I want to know if I'm in the good books before I die
I want to hear somebody tell me I've not lost my mind
I want to know what Revelations is all about
I want to make my mother proud
What's Revelations all about?
I want to make my mother proud
What's Revelations all about?

To Get Over You
04:37
|

I don’t suppose there’s much reason for me to apologise
Cause I know that you're not listening anyway
I must have sorry thousands of times
I don’t suppose you feel like listening today
I placed some flowers at our grave
And I did my best to walk away
I don’t know why I’m singing this, you already know
I had much luck at letting the little things go
And I just wish that you knew
What it’s like trying to get over you
And I wish that you knew what it’s like
But you never will
You never will
Well I don’t pay much mind to getting drunk all the time
And I really perfectly fine with losing the war
I slipped in lower gear in the last part of last year
And I sipped a Virgin Mary through a straw
I got my knuckles bruised, I had my heart broken
There’s not much you can do once you’ve been forgotten
I got soaking wet, I cut myself shaving
Tried to convince myself that you, you’re the one worth blaming
I placed some importance on our grave
Just a slab of rock and an unconfirmed date
I don’t know why I’m telling you, I know that you know
I never had much luck in letting you go
And I just wish that you knew
What it’s like trying to get over you
And I wish that you knew what it’s like
But you never will
I just wish that you knew, what it’s like
Trying to get over you in the loneliest night
Of your life, when your friends have all moved on
And the memory is all that remains
And escapes’ so far away
So far away
You're so far away

Cocktail & Revelations
04:36

Trees are swaying
Leaves are falling down
And I question everything
When this time of year comes around
But I get it now
Thanks to cocktails and revelations
Long drives with no destination
Proud mothers with no redemption
But I never meant to break your heart
Last night I dreamt
That we were strangers, and we started all over again
But it never works like it does on television
There’s some things no one ever mentions
Cocktails and revelations
You must be an angel, maybe you’re the devil
You must be on your way to heaven or to hell
If you are an angel, swear to me with you
If you are the devil, well I’ll go with you as well
Did I always feel hungover
Sometimes that’s all I remember
And I don’t want to go outside today
Last night I dreamt, but I swear I was awake
When your ghost approached me
I just looked the other way
At a certain point, there’s nothing left to say
And I never thought we’d ever reach that day
You must be an angel, maybe you’re the devil
You must be on your way to heaven or to hell
If you are an angel, swear to me with you
If you are the devil, well I’ll go with you as well
You must be an angel, maybe you’re the devil
You must be on your way to heaven or to hell
If you are an angel, swear to me with you
If you are the devil, well I’ll go with you as well
