lyrics

Xombies

I’d like to tell you that I’d never betray you
But I already did
All the times you ever shook for no reason
Those were the places I hid
It’s wearing thin to say it’s always circumstantial
When I pushed you into the skid
I want you for me
Do you want me for you?


Watching xombies at daybreak
Watching Centre Court live
Both say God’s on their side
Watching pathogens dancing
Watching ships in the storm
Ride the wrecking tide
Watch for movements in shadow
Watch the trace of the heart
Carving green across black
Watching polar caps dying
Skating out across white
And there’s no turning back

And though you’ve watched this all happen
It’s not your story to tell
There’s only satellites in heaven
So she’ll meet you in hell

You know you seek absolution
She just can’t see the point
When the punishment fits
If you’re just wanting comfort
She will promise you now
She’s going to love you to bits
You wake up walking on tightrope
There’s a knot in your belly
She keeps deep down inside
Sometimes you think you’ve controlled her
But when you’re high on the wire
There’s nowhere to hide.

I am terror
I am yours

I am terror
I am yours

And if you see her walking through the city square
And if you see her dancing on the lights
And if you see her ride across the waves to you
And if you see her first

She lives in butterflies
She’s watching you
She lights the limbic
She lives in you
Tell her you need her
Tell her you care

Your dog’s grown tired of barking
Every flare has been fired
All your plans come undone
Every synapse is sparking
All your hopes have expired
She’s got you under her thumb
She’s got you tilting at windmills
Got you running in rings
Got you scared of the moon
Like petrol tankers that tailgate
She won’t let you forget
This could all end so soon

I am terror
I am yours

I am terror
I am yours

And if you see her walking through the city square
And if you see her dancing on the lights
And if you see her ride across the waves to you
And if you see her first
She is the endgame
She follows through
She’s fond of hiding
And so are you
Tell her you need her
Tell her you care

I hope one day you’ll forgive me
I hope one day you’ll see through
All these things that we do
There’s only one thing that matters
I want you for me
Do you want me for you?

I am terror
I am yours

I am terror
I am yours

Keep me safe, keep me safe
Keep me, keep me, keep me safe

And if you see her walking through the city square
And if you see her dancing on the lights
And if you see her ride across the waves to you
And if you see her first
