Streaming Down from Satellites

Streaming down from satellites
I'm tracking where you are tonight
following your every move
to ensure you'll be alright

And my hearts in a craze and there are lumps in my throat
I can barely breathe now that this feeling's taken hold
Its persistence is astounding drowning out every other thought
bouncing around my brain
but I know that I can't say anything so it just needs to fade

I want you to hold my tongue
'cause I can't do this anymore

by now you're a figment that pervades my dreams
despite my best wishes you're always there
compensating for what I can't have

We all have dreams but they say it's best to give up on these
but it's so damn hard

London Fire

I would follow the train tracks until they intersect
but every time we meet it always ends in my death
you couldn't live with me
and since; I've learned of regret
all the bullshit we've fostered
by dealing with each other
it's all that I've got left

I thought love was something we all had yet you even stole that

but still
just because I hate you doesn't mean I don't want you
We'll turn this town into London circa 1666
and watch as the wind takes our creation places we could never imagine
without the Thames to keep it in
now that destruction is the only form of artistry I've got left

I thought love was something you'd given me but just as easily
you took it away
