Songwriting's the only thing I'm good at

Spoiler

The fragrance of your perfume
Still lingers on my clothes
The memories of a lifetime
Things that only we know
Your head rests on my shoulders
My love rests in your soul
The silent grace of the pilot
i'll take you where your heart goes

And i will always love you, how i do
The halo fits so flawless , upon you
You taught me how to love again
You taught me how to love again,
And i thank you

The roses from our last date
Still blooming in the sun
The memories that we made
and I've forgotten none
So help me god i'm falling
She's the only one
Let's jump into the clouds babe
The day is almost done

And i will always love you, how i do
The halo fits so flawless , upon you
You taught me how to love again
You taught me how to love again,
And i thank you

note : written about my current girlfriend for her birthday

[HOOK]
No turning, no greetings
The morning bells aren't healing
f--- collapses when i'm dreaming
No reaction, no more feelings

[VERSE 1]
Radio transmission can you hear my voice
I'm stuck inside without much of a choice
I try to yell louder but the voices drown me out
The walls are getting closer and i can't break out
Tell the crowds waiting in the winter, we're so equal
Once they release the needles, I'll direct the sequel

[HOOK]
No turning, no greetings
The morning bells aren't healing
f--- collapses when i'm dreaming
No reaction, no more feelings

[VERSE 2]
Calm the hysteria and the banging on the windows
No more turning, you're wrinkling all of the pillows
Mothers and children close your eyes at this moment
The last lingering tires of the wagon are finally broken
Refrain from trying to defeat your closing jeopardy
I swallowed the key to the last of your memories

[HOOK w background vocals in parentheses]
No turning, no greetings (Do you know where you are)
The morning bells aren't healing (Do you know who you are)
f--- collapses when i'm dreaming (Do you know what you are)
No reaction, no more feelings

[HOOK]
No turning, no greetings
The morning bells aren't healing
f--- collapses when i'm dreaming
No reaction, no more feelings

note : song is written about an anarchist who is executed by the government; written in the perspective of both the anarchist and the executer.

[HOOK]
I jumped off the bridge,
You forget so easy
I want you to know,
That i'm not coming back
I jumped off the bridge,
I regret it so deeply
But you should know
That i don't want to come back

[VERSE 1]
There's a fire in an English town
The queen will let it burn down
My army leading its final attack
The empire will never fall back
Bloodshed sprays the curb
Wash the guns and go to work
Policeman be considerate
Are we really that different
The country is crying now
Waiting for the noise to quiet down

[BRIDGE]
We rise tonight
We rise tonight
Oh god, unite
Oh god, unite

[HOOK]
I jumped off the bridge,
You forget so easy
I want you to know,
That i'm not coming back
I jumped off the bridge,
I regret it so deeply
But you should know
That i don't want to come back

[OUTRO]
I couldn't swim in the flames
I couldn't swim in the flames
We jumped into the fire
But I couldn't swim in the flames

note: written about a revolutionary leader who committs suicide after his plan to overtake the government is foiled. Bridge is from "You and Whose Army"

[Verse 1]
If only time could stay in one place
I'd wear a spare watch just in case
Streetlights stuck in space
Just to see the look on your face
If only the currents could take us away
The frozen water splashing your face

[Hook]
But I know i'll be happier
And i know you will too
Said, i know i'll be happier
And i know you will too
Eventually
Eventually

[Verse 2]
Wish i could turn you back into a passerby
Peeking through the windows wondering who's on the other side

[Hook]
But I know i'll be happier
And i know you will too
Said, i know i'll be happier
And i know you will too
Eventually
Eventually

[Verse 1]
Mister Starlight
Demon's can't chase if you just stay inside
Now watch your hand with all of that cyanide
Those pills can make you swallow your pride
Mister Starlight
The angels still haven't visited your bedside
Phone calls from a family that never arrived
Don't you want to wish a final goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
The world's still burning, yeah
You can sell it for free,
The world's still burning, yeah
Give yourself time to flee,
We've lost all power
Time for the final hour

[Chorus]
So stay woke,
Mister Starlight
They gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleeping
Now stay woke
Mister Starlight
Now don't close your eyes

[Verse 2]
Too late
The medics came to his house too late
Mister Starlight determined his own fate
We never got our final goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
The world's still burning, yeah
You can sell it for free,
The world's still burning, yeah
Give yourself time to flee,
We've lost all power
Time for the final hour

[Chorus]
So stay woke,
Mister Starlight
They gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleeping
Now stay woke
Mister Starlight
Now don't close your eyes

s---t the killer, s---t the killer
Sniper looking through the mirror
s---t the killer, s---t the killer
Crimson pool along the river

[HOOK]
Weapons are drawn
Weapons are drawn
The water is gone
The water is gone

[VERSE 2]
s---t the killer, s---t the killer
Crowds will never be satisfied
s---t the killer, s---t the killer
Before there's another homicide

[HOOK]
Weapons are drawn
Weapons are drawn
The water is gone
The water is gone

The water is gone
The water is gone
