lyrics

All the little things I'd never known
that make me so happy, seem so different in a distant glow
of a dimming light, it's so hard to find
the same joy when it suddenly seems so delicate
Lay awake in the dark, quarter to three
the ceiling tells me I'm my own worst enemy
try to fight the thought, running in my dreams
from the echo that's always chasing me

There's no way I will not fuck this up
When will I pay, when will I run out of luck
only so long anyone can keep it up
stabbing blindly in the dark at a button marked self-destruct

The light, it sparks a fuse
All we have, we have to lose
Our hearts beat harder to be blown to bits
Born to explode

All the massive things I'd never known
that make me so happy, I'll miss them when they're gone
I love the sky when it's night, I love the sky when it's clear
I hate it crashing down under the weight of my fear
Lay awake in the dark, quarter to five
ticking timebomb heart tells me I'm still alive
try to shrink the thought, astronomical in size
to an echo at the back of my tiny mind

I can't, I refuse
I'll fight, though I have to lose
Our hearts are wired to be blown to bits
Born to explode
