We share no common data There are no servers out here I don’t think dying suits me There’s only random memory So if you ever loved me You’ll file me in the past Cos I’m obsolete now This technology was never built to last So I died I so died In the night Without warning Just a glitch In the dark And was found Come the morning With a smile on my face From the snapping of my heartstring So the song begins – begins – begins – begins We share no common data There are no servers in the clouds You never backed me up There’s only random access now So if you ever loved yourself You’ll file me in the past Cos I’m obsolete now This technology was never built to last

Yeah that's right (Wait) You're breaking up (Are you there? I’ll stand somewhere better –) I've called 20 times, no No he won't answer He's not online He's not at home But I left him a message 5 whole minutes Of me crying Was that too much? Was that extra? And I said you and me Knew her best We were 3 Now we're broken You're breaking up I'm breaking up Here we are Look at the city lights So stupid before me So totally night time And I know you're out there I know you've gone feral I know that you're hiding Like some Colonel Kurtz But you will not escape me Cos you left a sign Cos I see her face Wherever you've been And her face In every advertisement All up on the buildings Her digital eyes The fall of her hairline You rendered her well nice You've capture her likeness Right up to the end You think I did not know her like you Well you're so wrong Cos here I come I'm breaking up

When I dream of us When I skip right to the end You’re no longer in that dream You’re a stupid grammar You’re the fullest of full stops You’re a holding screen If I told you something Would it bounce right off the dark? Would it hold no meaning? Do the words say nothing? Does it leave the slightest mark When I sing you something Cos I cut and paste the lyrics And I chop and change the bassline And I never seem to settle on a tune And it’s not because I’m angry And it’s not because I’m sad I know exactly what I want to say to you I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know -

Get your things in order Turn up all the lights Face your darkest fears unspoken You and I will show them Once and evermore Death is not a door you open No I I’m the one night stand that everyone wakes up to I’ll be the give and take of it The bones break of it I can wring your neck I can wring your neck Nice like this I’ll be the final party I am the toast you make Before you pass out I am the end of all doubt And I sing like I Don’t know the words Because I don’t need words I am the word Now I’ve crossed the threshold Count me as a friend A friend to guide you to the ending Cos every end is happy It proves the system works Without an end the story’s boring Yeah I I put such high hopes in every kiss I’ll give you I’ll be the give and take of it The sheer state of it I can snap your neck I can break your back Quick like this I am the slow mo car crash The graph that dips and won’t stop falling I am the darkness calling And I dance like I Don’t know the steps Because I don’t need steps I’m just one step COME ON Yeah I I’m the reason you take photographs Ya gotta laugh I’ll be the give and take of it The sum you make of it I can hold your breath I can stop your breath Nice like this I’ll be your fun commander The game you play No hope of winning I am your future singing And I sing like I Don’t know the score Because there is no score It’s all cadenza

Now that we’re over You are in camera You are a burned-out film In an empty cinema I am a wanderer And I am not alone But I feel alone Now that we’re over I live like an animal A keening animal A hungry animal Entirely my body I am a tendon Designed for survival Made for suspension And I want you to know I’ve worked it out And I want you to know that day by day day now I get it I get it I get it right I get it I get it I get it right I get it I get it I get it right I get it I get it I get it right I get it I get it I get it right I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it I get it You can zoom into those pixels but They make no sense The computations Are immense, it’s like The size of the heart It’s just a walk in the park It’s just a walk in the park But this picture of you is the physics of you Running around in my head Then the physics of you is the absence of you Running around in my head Running around in my head Those eyes. How high wide and high those eyes. Increase their size. Raise them fifty, maybe sixty stories. One hundred. Two hundred. Three hundred stories. – with her head in the clouds, as ever. We’ll build her way out on the headland at the harbour walls. You’ll see her shining in the morning sunlight; hundreds, no, thousands of floors. A staircase in her spine, you couldn’t climb her in a day; you would die, you would die, you would die. Or get bored. And if they ask if it’s a monument to loss I’ll tell them all about the budget and the running costs Nobody’s business but mine Not a public shrine Not worth the time it takes to climb up to her smile, to look out of her pupils at the sunsets she will never see. You wouldn’t be inside that photograph Her headroom would contain no laughter What would you even describe? You’d never see her smile from the inside I didn’t do it for Love I didn’t make it for Love she isn’t made out of Love it’s not a question of Love I am removed from her Love I am apart of her Love I am decoupled from Love I am a figure of Speech she is a figure of Speech it’s a displacement of Speech she’s a displacement of Heat I’m a displacement of Heart it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the Park it’s not a walk in the PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE PARK IT’S NOT A WALK IN THE

I was standing by the window With the sunset behind me And my image Was with you for some time A shape; no emotion No eyes and no face Then I fell away Like a leaf from your mind That’s where I live now That’s where you put me In a shape Of a shape Of where I used to be And you will not recall us No you cannot recall us Cos you don’t have that muscle In your heart No more No you will not recall us No you cannot recall us Cos you don’t have that muscle In your heart No more My touch is a mark on your cortex A fingerprint of ecstasy and sweat We twined ourselves the nightwhile then longer The feeling’s never left your body yet But wait But wait What fades this channel But wait But wait What blocky codec wrecks the feed of me My lips turn to pixels on your lips Your hand ghosts beyond where I lie We’re too drunk to notice the difference You never stored this feeling deep inside Too late Too late See how it falters But wait But wait If you had died would I have done the same? But hey – What does it matter tonight We’ll remember this together When we fuck ourselves senseless again Don’t sing sad songs They’re boring Don’t imagine Her calling Take your phone Delete her number Keep walking Keep walking Hold your head up No crying No reflection On anything Kick the sunshine Punch the moonlight You’re living It’s alright You’re living It’s alright You’re living It’s alright It’s allowed It’s all allowed You’re allowed You’re allowed for now You’re living It’s alright You’re living It’s alright It’s allowed It’s all allowed You’re allowed You’re allowed for now

In the end We were alone Did you think that? I thought that I thought it was funny Stupid and funny Barely a day Spent apart But it’s true What they say We die on our own You died on your own Now you’re here And you’re not And I’d like You to choose Where you are Where you lead Where you stop I can’t do it on my own And your Your fault or not Your timing Was off I look at your picture It laughs at me constantly And I’d like You to know You’re a pain In the arse As well as in my heart

When I was a child I thought love was trouble Because of the hurt it caused But love is a job The hours are long The admin’s a bitch You’re often bored And you can fix yourself Or love it You can love yourself Or leave it You can be good at it Or not It’s all allowed And you can fix yourself Or love it You can love yourself Or leave it You can be good at it Or not It’s all allowed All allowed All allowed Cos maybe love is like the spin of an atom (Yeah, right.) Maybe love is only in your head (Yeah, right.) It tricks you into thinking you can live forever But then you and I will both soon be dead and in the end that is all that we can take for granted Yeah you and I we’ll both soon be dead and in the end that is all that we can take for granted The measure’s your own It’s always been so Sure you’ve little control But the measure’s your own For you’re only right dead Once the sun has gone out The last room you entered Succumbed into darkness The measure’s your own

Sing me something Like it was nothing Like you made it up Not thinking Ship not yet sinking Sing me something Cos yeah I’m wrecked Put myself in check I’ve got nothing left Except these bridges on fire so Call me something Like it was nothing Throwing shade on me All fading Anticipating Something ending Cos yeah Life was great But I learned quite late That the best mistakes Are the ones you remember so Ask me something Gorgeous and troubling Ask me what I did I’ll smile and Say it was fine and I’ll Sing you something

This grand design The style absurd You found yourself Upon the brink Of the visible world A science of love A lonely word You raised your voice Within the noise Of the secrets you heard This grand design The style absurd You found yourself Upon the brink Of the visible world

Don’t sing sad songs They’re boring Don’t imagine Her calling Take your phone Delete her number Keep walking Keep walking Hold your head up You’re crying No reflection On anything Kick the sunshine Punch the moonlight You’re living It’s alright Do you feel the heartbeat in your chest and think it’s lying? – I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean You ever feel the sun is screaming when it’s shining? – Yeah that’s a little bit dramatic for me That being born and getting old is just a sideline? – You’re a philosopher, fine Are we the total of the pictures on our timeline? – I don’t think so no no No more sad songs Forever Clear them out of Your player cos No-one likes them No-one sings them Together Together Who in their right mind would want to remind you of moments that hurt you again and again and again? Do you feel the heartbeat in your chest and think it’s lying? – I sometimes think it could be nicer to me You ever feel the sun is screaming when it’s shining? – I love astronomy and yes I agree That being born and getting old is just a sideline? – If there’s a heaven I’d be highly surprised Are we the total of the pictures on our timeline? – I gotta get on and I don’t have the time to think of how to put these feelings into words So in an ideal world... I wouldn’t speak at all Do you feel the heartbeat in your chest is lying? Do you feel the sun is screaming every morning? Do you want to turn it off, and get on with your life? To throw her photos out? And did you burn her birthday cards and did you take your pulse and shrug and not believe it? Do you feel the heartbeat in your chest and think it’s lying? Then you’re alive you’re alive you’re alive Do you feel the sun is always screaming when it’s shining? Then you’re alive you’re alive you’re alive You’re alive you’re alive you’re alive You’re alive and it’s alright So you’re alive and it’s alright It’s not fair but it’s alright It’s not fine but it’s alright It won’t rhyme but it’s alright You’re alive and it’s alright

The measure’s your own It’s always been so Sure, you’ve little control but the measure’s your own For you’re only right dead once the sun has gone out, the last room you entered succumbed into darkness When the last note you sang or the last word you breathed passed on by the raggedy souls long departed falls away like the leaves And each sadness you’ve known whatever its size is a flower that blooms only once and then dies.
