Listen to the Sound - How to Destroy Angels lyrics
from the EP "How to Destroy Angels"
THE SPACE IN BETWEEN
All our blood lying on the floor, sense the crowd expecting something more.
Opened up, proudly on display, what we tried so hard to hide away.
Blinding light illuminates the scene, try to fill the spaces in between.
Arms entwined in our final pose, narrative drawing to a close.
Still remain the things we couldn't kill, in your eyes I can see it still.
How we choose the framing of the scene, hate begins to spill across the screen.
Blinding light illuminates the scene, try to fill the spaces in between.
PARASITE
Yes, I can feel you; yes, I believe; yes, you can have me; yes, I can breathe; parasite.
Yes, now I need you; yes, you are mine; yes, you have shown me; yes, you define; parasite.
FUR LINED
I can feel it taking hold, now I am an animal, now I am a chemical once again.
Feel it coming through the crack, everything is right on track, I am never coming back, again and again.
Everything is echoing, this is really happening, again and again.
Close enough to feel the flame, I can push it through the pain, into you like a train, again and again.
I am in complete control, I am just an animal, just a fucking chemical, once again and again.
Everything is echoing, this is really happening, again and again.
Everything is echoing, I keep coming back again and again.
BBB
Get down on the ground, don't move, make a sound.
No more, no control, you do what you're told.
Stand up, sit back down, your loss comes back around.
Too late, patronise, time's up, close your eyes.
Listen to the sound of my big black boots.
THE BELIEVERS
Muddy trail beside the water leads the lambs into the slaughter.
Hands and knees, we all atone, path is paved with blood and bone.
Trembly hands reveal their purpose, blisters form beneath the surface.
No one gonna make us leave, we're the ones that still believe.
Fear comes piercing through the silence, in the air the scent of violence.
Watching from above the trees, we're the ones that still believe.
A DROWNING
It's the glare from the reflection making patterns in your eye.
It's the looking back in anger with every second slipping by.
Undertow has come to take me, guided by the blazing sun.
Look at everything around us, look at everything we've done.
Please, anyone, I don't think I can save myself, I'm drowning here.
There's a tiny little window, swarms of locusts fill the sky.
Maybe I just disappear, if I can keep my head above the tide.
Please, anyone, I don't think I can save myself, I'm drowning here.
from the soundtrack to "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
IS YOUR LOVE STRONG ENOUGH?
Just one step at a time and closer to destiny,
I knew at a glance there would always be a chance for me
With someone I could live for, nowhere I would rather be.
Is your love strong enough, like a rock in the sea,
Am I asking too much, is your love strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart and stranger than fantasy,
I knew from the start it had to be the place for me,
Someone that I would die for, there's no way I could ever leave.
from the EP "An omen"
KEEP IT TOGETHER
I feel the skin that separates us start to fade, and when I lie on top of you I'm afraid.
I can see right through myself, crystal clear, I am disassembling, I could disappear.
There is a voice inside of me I don't know, and all his words keep echoing tremolo.
I've been waiting for a sign to appear, he has a message waiting for me, but I don't want to hear.
I promise, I swear, I can't keep it together.
ICE AGE
I find it looks the same but everything has changed, I find remembering gets harder every day.
Sometimes I still believe who I pretend to be, sometimes the little thing's exactly how it seems.
I see the colour of your eyes has turned to grey, I feel the wind is growing colder every day.
Sometimes I open up the walls and disappear, sometimes the crashing of the waves is all I hear.
Ocean, oh help me find a way, ocean, oh wash us all away.
I know that everything we did will come around, I take the thought of you and burn it to the ground.
Sometimes I'm waiting for this ice age to arrive, sometimes I hate the me that's keeping me alive.
Ocean, oh help me find a way, ocean, oh wash us all away,
Ocean, oh help me find a way, ocean, oh carry us away.
ON THE WING
We've grown, should have known, all alone we wake.
Single file, remembering how, and now am I awake.
I hear the warnings on the wing, I don't believe in anything.
Cast aside, afraid to rise, foolish pride, we wait.
Off the trail, we eat our tail, I could fail, I wait and wait.
I hear the moon is on the wing, I don't believe in anything.
I hear the voices rise and sing, but I don't believe in anything.
Used to believe in you, yet all we do is wait.
THE LOOP CLOSES
The beginning is the end, keeps coming round again.
SPEAKING IN TONGUES
I am made of magic and wires and I am everything at the end of it all.
I am moving from the mouths of liars and I am everything and nothing at all.
I am speaking order from within, I am aberration by design.
Still I'm here as I have always been, I am nature, perfect by design.
Feeding on the apple in the sea, you have done exactly as you're told.
Filling us with everything we need, turn the common metal into gold.
And all my arms will stretch across the sky, and you will see the glory of it all.
Watching from a very different night, you will see the glory of it all.
This is the place, this is the time I am the end of it all.
We have become zeroes and one, I am the end of it all.
