lyrics

My mind is running faster that the feet of marathoners
when there’s only twenty meters left to go.
The neurons shooting quicker than the speed of light, the speed of sound
like pulsars beaming photons to and fro.
And I was walking taller than the sky, I told myself that I could fly
but then I fell and would have died
if you hadn’t stretched out both your arms and kept me out of harm
and caught me by surprise.

There’s too much information like an over-crowded station
where the people run and every train is late
the palace walls are breaking, it’s no wonder that it’s taking
all my power just too keep my vision straight.
Confine all my thoughts into a stream, for all this life is but a dream,
and every moment is a waking nightmare.
And I, I think that I’m about to break, a feeling I can’t seem to shake
in every moment I’m awake
oh god, what will it take?

It all comes down to you
because you break my mind in two
I never thought I’d be complete
but that’s a thought I’ll now delete.

The world; I feel it turning, and the sun; I feel it burning
as the UV rays sear shapes into my eyes
and everything is blinding and I find I can’t think clearly
over this deafening uproar from inside
and I am tearing cracks into my skin to try and let some fresh air in
to help me settle down this din.
But you, you are sewing up my scars and you are pointing out the stars
above the busy London streets
which I never thought I’d need
so, delete, delete.

You’re the one who keeps me right
you’re my conductor of light
you’ve performed a tricky feat:
you’ve become a thought I won’t delete.
