"Something Terminal" lyrics
(It's easy sleeping)
(Lost in the process)
(It's easy sleeping lost)
Things didn't go to plan
We hid and we ran
But never were we worried
The sacrificial lamb
Of a privileged man
Better dead and buried
(We were)
Fighting with all your friends
It never ends
(The nerve)
Drinking your life away
A glass a day won't hurt
But still you're lying
It's easy to sleep on all that you could have learned
Take all you reap, a token to keep
Remember the time we could see the world
Burn with the brightest flame
But that was just yesterday
Cause anyway
Tomorrows fade away
Pick your body up
Not out of luck
There's hope you might recover
I know it fucking hurts
And there's that fog
Desaturates all colour now
Like a blanket suffocating
Weaponise their lies
Retrain your eyes
And focus of the summer
Of everybody's lives
We're wasting time
Let's learn to give each other space
Just a moments room to breathe
Faith that the future won't concede
Something terminal
It's easy to sleep on all that you could have learned
Take all you reap, a token to keep
Remember the time we could see the world
Burn with the brightest flame
But that was just yesterday
Cause anyway
Tomorrows fade away
(Tomorrow's fade away)
(Something terminal)
(Something terminal)
Village halls and crowded living rooms
Still smell the sticky floors
Of pubs and dressing rooms
Amongst the kegs and brooms
And pounding drums
And then the clubs
The cutting teeth the buzz
Of hearing sung the songs we wrote
A symbiotic antidote for all our hurt
And lately you know, it's seeming so clear
That I'm late life
Fighting with all my friends
But it's gonna end
And sooner than you know
Don't sleep on all that you should have learned
You gotta take all you reap, like a token to keep
Can you remember the time when the world seemed to burn
With the brightest of flames?
But that was yesterday
It's easy to sleep on all that you could have learned
Take all you reap, a moment to keep
Remember the time we could see the world
Burn with the brightest flame
But that was just yesterday
Cause anyway
Tomorrows fade away
It's easy to sleep on all that you could have learned
Take all you reap, a moment to keep
Remember the time we could see the world
Burn with the brightest flame
But that was just yesterday
Cause anyway
Tomorrows fade away
It's easy to sleeping lost in the process
Time goes wandering when did it leave us?
Five years down the line
Wishing I could light a fire
Again
(Lost in the process)
(It's easy sleeping lost)
Things didn't go to plan
We hid and we ran
But never were we worried
The sacrificial lamb
Of a privileged man
Better dead and buried
(We were)
Fighting with all your friends
It never ends
(The nerve)
Drinking your life away
A glass a day won't hurt
But still you're lying
It's easy to sleep on all that you could have learned
Take all you reap, a token to keep
Remember the time we could see the world
Burn with the brightest flame
But that was just yesterday
Cause anyway
Tomorrows fade away
Pick your body up
Not out of luck
There's hope you might recover
I know it fucking hurts
And there's that fog
Desaturates all colour now
Like a blanket suffocating
Weaponise their lies
Retrain your eyes
And focus of the summer
Of everybody's lives
We're wasting time
Let's learn to give each other space
Just a moments room to breathe
Faith that the future won't concede
Something terminal
It's easy to sleep on all that you could have learned
Take all you reap, a token to keep
Remember the time we could see the world
Burn with the brightest flame
But that was just yesterday
Cause anyway
Tomorrows fade away
(Tomorrow's fade away)
(Something terminal)
(Something terminal)
Village halls and crowded living rooms

It's easy to sleep on all that you could have learned
Take all you reap, a moment to keep
Remember the time we could see the world

Tomorrows fade away
It's easy to sleeping lost in the process
Time goes wandering when did it leave us?
Five years down the line
Wishing I could light a fire
Again
