Tired Of Fighting Lyrics

1. NIGHT DWELLERS

Night dwellers | These meteorites | Our love has limitations | The pace setters | Came in hot and hard and bright | They couldn't take the distance | I cut my hair and lost some weight | I resisted but then I caved | I bought a book that said to seize the day | It was underlined and ill-considered | I guess I could not contemplate | How deep you'd dive down in my veins | And if it swims we'll celebrate | But I think this one's a sinker | Night dwellers | These meteorites | Our love has limitations | The thrill chasers | Want it fast and fierce and wild | What's the point in just existence? | It rings out and resonates | It spreads itself and rests in place | As all my ventricles vibrate | To the sound of a sweet old signature | As I prepare pupils dilate | I feel the noises swell and fade | And every bar sounds like your name | I always knew you were a drinker | The thinking doctor says I'm sick |As my self-care begins to slip | He says that I should go to bed | And focus on myself instead of | Night dwellers | These meteorites | Our love has limitations | The gold getters | Find it somewhere in the mines |You better believe we came for the treasure | The thinking doctor says I'm sick | But he doesn't know me... like you did

2. DEATH WISH

The kid's got a death wish | He's holding a tight grip | On all of the objects | That could fashion a weapon | That may offer protection | From all of the demons | They come out in secrets | And they're offering heaven | It's something in your mind | It's something in your heart | It's something that you hold | To get you through the dark | It's something that appears | It's kind of like a dream | It's something that dissolves | You see it in your sleep | The kid's got a death wish | He's nervous and toxic | You hear how his tongue ticks? | It's a language encrypted | 
And somehow it soothes them | All of the demons | He sees when his eyes close | They escape as the night goes on | It's something in your mind | It's something in your heart | It's something that explodes | And splinters into shards | It's something that's concealed | It's crookedly conceived | It's something that evolves | A creature in the deep | The kid's got a death wish | The numbing feels priceless | He's taking his vices one at a time | The kid's got a death wish | The numbing's delicious | He's taking his vices all of the time | The kid's got a death wish | He's numbing a sickness | He's taking his vices just to feel fine | It's something in your mind | It's something in your heart | It's something that erodes | Barriers built to guard | It's something that's revealed | At the ending of a scene | When everything resolves | And everything's at peace | The kid's got a death wish | He's holding a tight grip on all of the objects | That could fashion a weapon

3. CHOCOLATE

It's just another long, hot day | The kind that makes you palpitate | The kind that makes your skin erode | The kind that makes you want to change | It's just another empty feeling | There's chocolate sticking to the ceiling | Of my mouth, it stops me breathing | I almost choke | I thought it might just sweeten up the truth | Oh, baby brother why so blue? | I put all my faith in you | And now I need some in exchange | It's just another long, hot, drawn out day | The kind that liquefies your brain | The kind that melts your flesh away | 'Til you're just bone | All just fractured and disjointed | Disenchanted and disappointed | Elixirs amplified, exploited | Everything you didn't want them to | They don't work if you don't want them to | I thought they might just sweeten up the truth | Oh, baby brother why so blue? | I put all my faith in you | And now I need some in exchange | They said I need to get up | And dig out a message | And a meaning to follow | It must be a drag | To always feel so sad | To always be so cynical | They said I need to get up | And dig out a message | And a meaning to follow | It must be a drag | To think of what we had | That's no longer visible | I thought they might just | Sweeten up the truth | Oh, baby brother why so blue? | I put all my faith in you | And now I need some in exchange | The sun is in my iris | The sun is in my head | The sun is made of spirals  | With nuclear intent | The sun is like a death ray | Incandescent and enraged | It cuts short my cherished darker times | It's a selfish sort of flame | The sun is inescapable | It shines on all we view | But it didn't shine on anything | The way it shone on you, | Yeah

4. JUST FOR ME

This is just for me | This is just for my sanity | To feel a little less guilty | For when I said I was busy | Let's sing so loud | It'll trouble the heavens | So angels glide | Over trembling clouds | Let's sing so loud | The dead can live on | Just for a moment | Inside of a song | I'm in a couple of bands | It's not important really | It's not nearly a living | But it keeps me busy | You searched and you found us | On the internet highway | You said you were proud | Of who I was becoming | Let's sing so loud | It'll trouble the heavens | So angels glide  | Over trembling clouds | Let's sing so loud | The dead can live on | Just for a moment | Inside of a song | Your granddaughter | Can handle herself in Mexico | She still knows karate | Somewhere in her catacombs | Your granddaughter | Is gonna be fine anywhere she goes | She holds the secrets of the science | She has a rage like a bulldozer | Your granddaughter  | Can handle herself in Mexico | She still knows karate | Somewhere in her catacombs | Your granddaughter | Is gonna be fine anywhere she goes | She holds the secrets of the science | She has a rage like a bulldozer | Let's sing so loud | It'll trouble the heavens | So angels glide  | Over trembling clouds | Let's sing so loud | The dead can live on | Just for a moment | Inside of a song

5. BRANCHES

My whole body hurts |  My back is made of string | My tessellating parts | Are sick of everything | I wish that I was thin | I wish that I could flex | I wish that I could see | Outside of myself | I want to feel alive | But within reason | I want to be in love | But I'm scared of lifting anchor | I want to be a mess | Deconstructed and distressed | I want to be in ecstasy | I light a candle on my windowsill | Now I'm forever incomplete | And at a Revolution bar and grill | I took the weight off of my feet | I drank and drank 'til I could not sit still | Until my dope sickness subsides | I want to feel alive, but within reason | I want to know if you’re in love | But I may not like the answer | All I know is I’m a mess | Deconstructed and distressed | With you everything is ecstasy | Branches | Overlapping | Underhanded | Complex and in control | It so happens | The circumstances | Are built on chance | They're out of our control | Abandoned | Feral and fractious | Blissfully entangled | We like to lose control | And so it goes | How it often goes | The feeling dissipates | It decomposed | And so it left me | To fight my foes | It could have stayed | I thought it owed me | And so it goes, how it often goes | The feeling dissipates | it decomposed | And so it left me | To fight my foes | I was hoping Hoping it would stay | I thought it owed me | That courtesy | So I could be a mess | Deconstructed and distressed | So I could be in ecstasy | I light a candle on my windowsill | Now I 'm forever incomplete

6. OUT OF THE FOREST

He died in a cold place | He died in his cell | A collision he had to harness | He hides in himself | And nothing ever starts | He lies in the ocean | His eyes sunken in | He'll dry when the stars explode | Then they'll harvest him | And nothing ever starts | And out of the forest they ran to me | A beautiful display | Of chaos and catastrophe | The walls are thin | We can cave them in | I've been unwilling | To feel like he did | Faced with a decision | To lure a beast | You must speak | It's name and all that it imparts | And nothing ever starts | And out of the forest they ran to me | A beautiful display | Of chaos and catastrophe | The walls are thin | We can cave them in | The sun is in my memory | It's faded but it's mine | I always kept it with me | I willed it to survive | It could have been devoured | The embers almost died | When I became unwell | And I was trying to decide | And decipher all the voices | To know which ones were kind | Should I stay and battle | Or leave everything behind? | Sun you saved me | Sun please stay | And out of the forest they ran to me | A beautiful display  | Of chaos and catastrophe | The walls are thin | We can cave them in

7. CASTLES

Look at how this ocean opens out | Have you seen the stars out there? | If I could talk to God I'd say I'd disagree | But boy you nailed it | So reluctantly | Through gritted teeth | Against everything that I believe | I'll sing this out | I once was lost but now I'm found | Castles they | They crumble down | Before us now | Before us now | Some things decay | But we marked this safe | So we could keep it | From disarray | Listen whilst the bayside speaks your name | Through sirens and condolences | This summer breeze affecting me | It chills my bones and stings around my bandages | So reluctantly | Through gritted teeth | Against everything that I believe | I turn and say | Darlin' we can't live this way | Castles they | They crumble down | Before us now | Before us now | Some things decay | But we marked this safe | So we could keep it | From disarray

8. TIRED OF FAILING 

FEATURING ISABEL MARIA

I want you to teach me | How to kill at parties | Dislocate them  | And spill their stories | Of what it's like to live | With this condition | Of failing engines | And crying children | We got tired of failing | And tired of fighting | Done with friction | And sick of trying | You used to bail me | Out in moments | I live alone now | And I'm just hopeless | You used to tell me | About the ocean | Expansive and unknown | Just like our future | My green eyes grazed on you | Your dailies were overdue | They scratched as they misconstrued | Through optics and overuse | We got tired of failing | And tired of fighting | Done with friction | And sick of trying | You used to bail me  | Out in moments | I live alone now | And I'm just hopeless cos | I like the thunder | I like the thunder | I like the thunder | You like the rain | You like the water | And I like the noise it makes | Cos I like the thunder |  I like the thunder | I like the thunder you like the rain | You like the water | And I like the noise it makes | Cos I like the thunder | I like the thunder | I like the thunder | You like the rain | You like the water | And I like the noise it makes | Cos I like the thunder | I like the thunder | I like the thunder | I got tired of failing | (I like the the thunder, I like the thunder) |  And tired of fighting | (I like the thunder you like the rain) | Done with friction | (You like the water) | And sick of trying | (And I like the noise it makes) | You used to bail me | (I like the the thunder, I like the thunder) | Out in moments | (I like the the thunder, you like the rain) | I live alone now | (You like the water) | And I'm just hopeless | (And I like the noise it makes) | And all those churches | (I like the the thunder, I like the thunder) | They promise heaven | (I like the thunder you like the rain) | Well the catholic hymns have drawn me in | (You're like the water shimmering and hallowed) | Now I can see your shadow | (I want you to teach me) | Cos I'm like the thunder | (How to surpass this) | And you're like the rain | (To be crystal clear) | You're like the water | (To not be so closed) | And I'm just an echo

9. HOLLOW

I'm hollow | Like your promises | I wake up | to the alarm we set | I wish unconscious | I exhaust my bets | Because I'm hollow | Yeah I'm hollow | Because I'm hollow | Yeah I'm hollow | And everyday moves slower than the last | You said vessels | Come in different forms | There's your blood flow | Or they can guide your oars | They can take you somewhere | when you feel exposed | When you're hollow | Yeah you're hollow | When you're hollow | Yeah you're hollow | And everyday moves slower than the last | Yeah I'm hollow | Like your waking words | We get down | Like we dress rehearsed | It's memorised | Chapter and verse | You said I'm hollow | And it's like I'm cursed | That I'm afflicted | Or sick, or worse | And all those galaxies | Were just fantasies | An afterthought to another drunken daze | Hey | Jet fuel | Takes you | Close to outer space | Rocket ships |  Lead my lips | To the bottle you once replaced | To find you | I withdrew | To examine and erase | Old transcripts end | The adjectives I forget | I keep your picture just in case | Because I'm hollow | Yeah I'm hollow | Yeah I'm hollow | Yeah I'm hollow | And everyday moves slower than the last

10. ALBATROSS

Flying through a spirit ditch | Or a hell hole | I don't know which | A purgatory place | To quench my thirst | A purgatory place | To cure my curse | As I move into the midnight | I feel you in the frost | I call out into the black | And sometimes it responds | Albatross (The sun resides) | Albatross (Within it's lair) | Albatross (It's world is fire) | (And so it burns there) | Albatross (It blisters up) | Albatross (And never cools) | Albatross (It never learns) | (How to soothe) | Flying through | Feels like a plane | Anything to ease the pain | To be at peace | Or just be blind | Silence a sense | And close my eyes | As I move into the midnight | I feel you in the frost | I call out into the black | I'm scared of what it wants | Albatross (The sun is in) | Albatross (It's resting place) | Albatross (But thousands more) | (Come out to grace) | Albatross (Us with their light) | Albatross (Under their beams) | Albatross  (I loved you more) | (Than anything) | I was guided by grief | So I shut off when I shouldn't | I tried to forget you today |  But I couldn't let it lie | Or let you go | Or let you be forgot | Night Dwellers | It's something in your mind | It makes you want to change | Just for a moment | Just to feel alive | To be a beautiful display | To be kept from disarray | To be like the thunder | To be like the rain | To be the one that takes you closer to outer space | And then suddenly it hits you all at once | I'm at your mercy | I'm out of options | I'm at a loss | Tell us where we're headed Albatross | Albatross | Albatross
