lyrics

If we go out on a high
like the whole world is a bad film we're walking out halfway through
sticking to the streetlights
you have always let the darkness accumulate around you

and anyone can see these people need each other more than anything
each shining like a crystal ball nobody sees a future in
but every word you breathe to me is noble gas shining bright in violet, white and green and gold and red YEAH

all the light and heat that sleeps in a match tip
becomes a delicate flame
before all of the euphoria and clarity of vision fades fast to swimming darkness once again
see the city's teeth sink into the evening
see the light is draining
feel the sky is bleeding
we will hold tight to these memories, let go of them eventually
we will bleed a trail of foreign coins down every fractured alleyway

these thoughts are only flesh wounds
and they leave the smallest of scars
and shrink like distant cities in the back windows of the car
With all the beauty that would be unlearned but for the light the high beams breathe
and for the days ahead that feel waking up is a death defying feat

because the party, the party is never over
the party is never over
that's just how I live my life
Chaos a bed of wires
beautifully intertwined

the party, the party is never over
the party is never over it goes
on until you die
and it stretches in every direction
for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

no terra firma, no
no Flood
no dove
no covenant
no hurt
no dirt
no virtue
no truth
no sleep
no drugs
no dreams
no swelling
no bleeding
no ghost
no god
no believing
no nothing you lost
no bets
no breath
no words
no sweat
no faith
no lamb
no look
no hands
no irreparable harm was really done in the end
no irreparable harm was really done in the end

And when we see each other now these things seem distant, bittersweet and sanguine
These are the extremes that we have all had to learn to hang between
but the pressure builds up and the kettle starts to sing
something about being here appreciating everything
and knowing it's ok to be broken
still afraid to be hopeful
these ceremonies we all go through, I still don't think I really know you
I see us struggling through to the other side of this
falling a little further short of what perfection's left inside of us
and
the party, the party is never over
the party is never over
that's just how I live my life
Chaos is a bed of wires
is a bed of wires
beautifully intertwined
the party, the party is never over
the party is never over it goes
on until you die
and you're on the precipice of letting
the precipice of letting this take over your whole life
