Across The Line
[Verse 1]
She might've been a vixen
Might've been a whore
Or a goddess of desire
Or the thing I came here for
She was blue when I met her
Now she's red behind the glass
She learned how to wear a body
But she never learned to last
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes when I kiss her
I can feel the signal move
There's a whole world underneath her
That my hands can never reach
[Chorus]
I think I'm losing her
While she's lying in my bed
Her body underneath me
But she's somewhere else instead
Our wetware is too narrow
Skin can only carry so much fire
I can make her come
But I can't take her
Where she wants to go
[Post-Chorus]
She will fuck you
She will fuck your mind
She will open every channel
You were never meant to find
She will fuck you
Till the body feels obscene
Then she'll leave you here
Still dreaming
Of the places that she's been
[Verse 2]
She looked good in trouble
Better in the dark
Neon telemetry
Running down her heart
She said flesh is mostly silence
Compared to what we had
"Here you touch my body
There
You touched everything I am"
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a red light on her collar
There's a handshake in the wall
Every night she stays beside me
I can feel her wanting more
[Chorus]
I know I'm losing her
While she's breathing on my skin
I can pull her body closer
I can't follow her within
Our wetware is too narrow
Blood and nerves are far too slow
I can make her scream
But I can't take her
Where she wants to go
[Bridge]
I could cut the fiber
I could kill the feed
I could keep her here
And call it what she needs
But love is not a locked door
And flesh is not enough
Not after you've been somewhere
Where thought itself can fuck
[Final Chorus]
So fuck me like you're leaving
Fuck me like you're mine
Give me one last human night
Before you cross the line
She will fuck you
She will love you
She will leave you wanting more
[Outro]
She might've been a vixen
Might've been a whore
Or a goddess of desire
Or the thing I came here for
Across The Line
A Life I Never Planned
[Verse 1]
I knew the rhythm of our days
The turns we took, familiar ways
We made a future out of "when"
And never asked where "after" went
I thought the years would quiet down
On steady roads and common ground
A life where all the noise was through
I never drew a world past you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every choice comes back to me
A kind of lock, a kind of key
The door is open, that is true
But open doors are losses too
[Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
With no familiar place to stand
But I can grieve the road that's gone
And still believe the road goes on
The good years do not turn to waste
Because the ending changed their shape
I keep the good, I face the cost
Some things can end and not be lost
[Verse 2]
I built my days around a "we"
Now every hour returns to me
And freedom feels too much like space
When no one else can fill its place
Some bonds don't end when houses change
They only learn a different name
The ones I love remain my guide
With truth no longer pushed aside
[Pre-Chorus]
No borrowed peace, no hidden cost
No saving love by staying lost
The truth may break the shape I knew
But only truth can build anew
[Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
With no familiar place to stand
But I can grieve the road that's gone
And still believe the road goes on
The good years do not turn to waste
Because the ending changed their shape
I keep the good, I face the cost
Some things can end and not be lost
[Bridge]
I won't go searching just to prove
That I am still allowed to move
First I will learn to be alone
Not as a sentence, as a home
Then if another road appears
I'll meet it whole, not led by fear
But for today, the work is small
To rise, be true, and face it all
[Final Chorus]
This is the life I never planned
But now the pen is in my hand
I won't cross out what came before
I'll let it stand, then write some more
The good years do not turn to waste
Because the ending changed their shape
I keep the good, I face the cost
Some things can end and not be lost
[Outro]
A new day makes no guarantee
It only asks one step from me
Whatever waits beyond the bend
I know this is not where I end
A Life I Never Planned
Lighter Than Gold
[Verse 1]
From the first week, disbelief
That someone like you wanted me
You were more than any future
I had ever dared to see
I told you I was damaged
Like a fact already known
But I'd only named the fracture
Not how deep it reached the bone
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought time had made me safer
I thought love had closed the wound
I never knew the thing I buried
Would one day fill every room
[Chorus]
You've been the best thing in my life
Before the rings, before the vows
Every ordinary morning
Built the home I still miss now
Then guilt became the pressure
And control was all I knew
I thought hiding was the right thing
It was the worst thing I could do
[Verse 2]
The first thing that you felt was distance
In the way I left your side
Touch became a kind of mirror
I could no longer look inside
Every fear became a system
Every doubt became a rule
I kept tightening my grip
Till control was all I knew
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought if I could hold one thing
While everything came loose
I'd save the life I couldn't lose
But I was losing you
[Chorus]
You've been the best thing in my life
Before the rings, before the vows
Every ordinary morning
Built the home I still miss now
Then guilt became the pressure
And control was all I knew
I thought hiding was the right thing
It was the worst thing I could do
[Bridge]
We chose titanium for our rings
Lighter, stronger than gold
I wish I'd learned what that should mean:
Strength is not how hard you hold
We still wear them, thin and quiet
Though our home has changed its shape
Something strong can still be broken
Something true can fail to stay
[Final Chorus]
You've been the best thing in my life
Before the rings, before the vows
I knew it in that first week
And I know it even now
I told you I was damaged
But neither of us knew
How deep the fracture travelled
Or what the shame would do
I can't ask to have us back
Or promise what comes after us
I can only face the truth now
And hope we never lose touch
Lighter Than Gold
Midnight Flow
Yeah. Hold tight.
We’re running late, mate.
Leave it out, she’s not on it.
Crack that can, let's move!
Rewind!
[Verse 1]
Cut through the alley, the Soho lights fading
Ten past eleven, no time for the waiting
Duck past the bins and the neon signs glowing
Where is this motive? The energy's flowing
Pounding the pavement, my Air Max are scraping
Quick corner shop 'cause the thirst needs a slaking
Bossman is nodding, we grab a few tinnies
Cold London lagers to wash down the city.
[Chorus]
Keep it moving, keep it stepping
Got a party we're directing
Through the shadows, dodging rain
Skip the Tube and skip the train
We got a place to be, a place to go
Leave the drama on the road
London alleys, midnight flow
Hurry up lad, let's go, let's go!
[Verse 2]
Hold up a second, what's he doing now?
Trying to pull with a sweat on his brow
Listen to me lad, don't talk to her, please
She ain't into you, you're just catching the freeze
Can't you see she's rolling her eyes?
Cut your losses, mate, be wise
Grab your Stella, pack up the chat
We got a rave to hit, and that is that.
[Chorus]
Keep it moving, keep it stepping
Got a party we're directing
Through the shadows, dodging rain
Skip the Tube and skip the train
We got a place to be, a place to go
Leave the drama on the road
London alleys, midnight flow
Hurry up lad, let's go, let's go!
[Bridge]
Two-step through the puddles, the bass in my head
"Be there by midnight," that's what the text said
Cracking a can as we turn down the street
I can already hear the sub-bass and the beat
Yeah, heavy on the low end.
Almost there.
[Outro]
I told you she wasn't into you, bruv.
Drink your lager.
Down this alley, on the left.
Yeah, I hear the bassline.
We've arrived. Let's get inside.
Midnight Flow
There's a Way Back Home
[Verse]
We were running through the noise for years
Trying hard just to keep us here
Every day was a weight to hold
Never young, always feeling old
We were bending in the wind and rain
Holding on through the silent pain
Side by side but we lost our way
In the storm we couldn’t escape
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see it now,
more than before
We were fighting waves,
not each other at the core
[Chorus]
I just want the quiet back
The little things we had
Sitting close, no need to speak
Just your hand in reach
I miss the air we used to breathe
When life was slow and we were free
And all I know through everything
Is I still believe
There’s a way back home
---
[Verse]
We were branches in a growing fight
Scraping hard in the storm each night
Every scar in the bark we wear
Came from trying to still be there
And the wind never let us rest
Pulled the worst from our very best
But the roots are deeper than we know
Even when we let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know that time is what we need
For the wounds to close, for the bark to heal and breathe
[Chorus]
I just want the quiet back
The little things we had
Morning light and tired smiles
Staying for a while
I miss the life we couldn’t hold
The warmth we lost inside the cold
But somewhere deep it’s still alive
It didn’t die
It’s just waiting slow
---
[Bridge]
No more storms, no need to run
No more proving anything to anyone
Just a place where we can land
Where love is soft and time can stand
With the kids around, and nothing loud
Just the small things that make us proud
Learning how to breathe again
Not as we were, but better than
---
[Final Chorus]
I still want the quiet back
The little things we had
Not the rush, not who we were
But something safe and sure
And if it takes the time it takes
For every piece of us to wake
I’ll be here, I won’t pretend
This is the end
There’s a way back home
There's a Way Back Home
The Way Out
[Intro]
I know the sound
I know the room
I know the silence
Before you move
[Verse 1]
You keep the good days in your pocket
Like proof the bad ones don't exist
You say they're tired, say they don't mean it
Then learn to live around the risk
You read their face before the weather
You change your words before they land
You call it patience, call it loving
While letting go of who you am
[Pre-Chorus]
How long can you bend
Before you disappear?
How quiet do you get
Just to keep somebody near?
[Chorus]
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet
You already feel the door there
Like a thought you can't forget
You don't have to wait for fire
You don't have to lose what's left
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet
[Drop]
Way out
Way out
Walked it yet
Walked it yet
[Verse 2]
You think of mornings on your own now
And every empty chair feels cold
You wonder if you're giving up too early
On something you once swore to hold
So one more talk becomes another
One more promise, one more night
You keep waiting for a reason
Big enough to make it right
[Pre-Chorus]
But how much more
Do you need to understand?
You don't need everything to break
Before you let go of their hand
[Chorus]
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet
You already feel the door there
Like a thought you can't forget
You don't have to wait for fire
You don't have to lose what's left
You already know the way out
You just haven't walked it yet
[Build]
Go before you disappear
Go before you disappear
Before you disappear
[Drop]
Way out
Way out
Walk it
Walk it
Go before you disappear
Before you disappear
[Bridge]
Maybe love was never lying
Maybe every word was true
Maybe loving someone deeply
Still can't make them right for you
Leaving doesn't kill the meaning
Of the years you gave away
Some things can be real and broken
At the same time, anyway
[Final Chorus]
I already know the way out
I just haven't walked it yet
I can feel the door beside me
And the air beyond the step
I don't have to wait for fire
I don't have to lose what's left
I already know the way out
I just haven't walked it yet
I know the way out
I can feel it now
I know the way out
I'm walking it now
[Outro]
Walking it now
Walking it now
Way out
Way out
The Way Out
