This is a better night
Feel the air
I’m feeling all alone
Driving all around
I’m feeling all alone
Driving through this town
There is a place I know
It’s from another time
We watch the sun rising
But we are worlds apart
We hear the radio breaking up
Telling us to slow it down
Broadcasting through the waves of sound
This is a better night
I feel the sun rising
It’s pulling us closer
What don’t you quantify?
You can signal me
This is a better night
I feel the motion now
It’s got us all caught up
I feel the pull of the night
It’s got us all wrapped up
We are worlds apart

Watching Over

They’re taking over.
And your taking cover now.
They’re moving closer.
And you’re looking over your shoulder.
Whispers pull you down.
You had your back to the wall.
(They’re moving closer)
You feel your life is on the line.
(They’re made of gold)
As your running out of time…
(They’re watching over you)
Watching over you…

Cell / Divide

We’re lost in our cells
No one is looking
We’re preoccupied
Wrapped in confusion
We’re told there’s safety in number
I know it’s not safe
We’re told there’s safety in number
I know it’s not safe
I hear all the bells
Calling our names
Descending upon us
Locked down for life
We’re told there’s safety in number
I know it’s not safe
We’re told there’s safety in number
I know it’s not safe
I know it’s not safe …x4
It's written down in our code ..
It's written for us to read ..

I’ve got myself lost again
Will I ever find the end?
She’s got my photograph
Taken from another time
I led her over firewalls
I never should have let her fall
Afraid she’s gonna raise the ghosts
I never should have let her go
I’m never gonna make it through the night…
Let them open the world to you
Don’t let this be your final walk
Put this back to where you can be at peace
Your walking on a razor, steppin’ so lightly
I’ve got myself lost again
Will I ever find the end?
She’s got my photograph
Taken from another time
I led her over firewalls
I never should have let her fall
Afraid she’s gonna raise the ghosts
I never should have let her go
I’m never gonna make it through the night …
I’ve got myself lost again
Will I ever find the end?
What are these traps I lay in?
When will I be forgotten?
I’m over simplifying , it’s a complicated world …

I know your sad for days
But all will fade away
We write the code for them
For all to see the sun
For me I can’t explain
I know it’s over today
I know we sat for days
I know the sun will fade
We write the code and hide
For now we ride the storm
If we dream of the sun
I know it can’t be over today
Nothing we can hide from
And there’s nothing that will save us
Why is nothing sacred anymore ?
I know we sat for days
I know the sun will fade
We write the code and hide
For now we ride the storm
If we dream of the sun
I know we can’t be over today
I know it’s hard the pain
This is an emergency I say
Nothing we can hide from
And there’s nothing that will save us
Why is nothing sacred anymore ?

I can’t take it anymore
This cold under my floor
It makes its way thru my thoughts
And tells me no more
Well isn’t it always like this?
A place I never truly could exist
It’s just one more step
It’s just one last breath
isn’t it always like this?
A place I never could exist
It’s Just one last step
It’s Just one more breath
Just one more breath
Just one last step…

Stand Bye

I feel the rage in my soul
This motion is all that I have
I’m in a race to no end
It’s just another way for me to let go
I stand by and wait for it all to fall
I hear the waves crashing down
I watch the walls closing in
No time to rest just look alive
It’s just another way for me to let go
It’s just another way for me to let you know
I stand by and wait for it all to fall
They said it’s over and it’s gone
I feel the words letting go
I see the race in your eyes
It’s just another way for me to let go
It’s just another way for me to let you know
I stand by and wait for it all to fall
I hear the waves crashing down
I watch the walls closing in
No time to rest just look alive
It’s just another way for me to let go

The Broken Ones

I take off from Dubai and fend off my fears to fly
I look down far below I’m thinking of my life that’s gone
There is nothing left to hold me down as I travel through to the openside
Why don’t we just stop and hold ourselves and trust our lives to The Broken Ones
I carry on, it’s been so long
Forgot what I was doing
There is nothing left to hold me down as I travel through to the openside
Why don’t we just stop and hold ourselves and trust our lives to The
Broken Ones
I take off from Dubai and fend off my taste to die
I take off into sky I’m thinking my days are numbered now
I carry on, it’s been so long
Forgot what I was doing
I can breathe now
((Breathe ))
I carry on it's been so long forgot what I was doing
I carry on it's been so long forgot where I was going
I take off from Dubai and fend off my taste to die
I take off into sky I’m thinking my days are numbered now
I can breathe now
(( Breathe ))
I carry on it's been so long forgot what I was doing
I carry on it's been so long forgot where I was going
(( Breathe ))

some of my absolute favorite pinback songs on here, drawstring, sediment (!!!), true north (those strings!!!!), his phase, if this is the note their discography ends on it’ll be just fine with me, but i would kill for a new set of songs from these guys. life changing stuff. sediment is easily like top ten pinback songs for me.
