Send My Love to the System

I've been looking through some pictures That I found in my room Time machines take you back To the places you once knew And I remember all the things That I used to care about And I realised that they faded They don't matter to me now They are moments in a lifetime which I never understand Just a glance across the room Cigarette burnin' on my hand Just a second conversation on a sunday afternoon Or a kiss on a bridge After it's been raining in June And maybe I got older And maybe I can't see Or maybe I just realise that I want to be free So send my love to the system Send my love to the system Well Playgrounds look like prisons the day after you leave school And exes look like angels The day before they fall You get caught up with the rose In the glasses on the wall And you remember what they look like And know what they will call And there was still a way you smile Some autumn monday morning They will hate you And they will rage you And they will punish you without warning And you search for signs of goodness And you search for signs of life Till you're standing on a stage And you're blinded by the lights And maybe I got scared And gave in to the disease Or maybe I just realise that I want to be free So send my love to the system Send my love to the system Where the morning's slowly coming As the pictures gathered dust As the light dances with chemicals But there is no need to rush We just sit here for a while Till we're ready to go back We stick our fingers up in times Till the horizon is getting fat But I will take something with me Which I could never found If I carried on going forwards In those directions we are bound So I thank you little photograph For giving me a little sign Now I have to burn you Just in case you change your mind And maybe I got older And gave up all my dreams Or maybe I just realise that I want to be free So send my love to the system Send my love to the system We're not leaving any doorways We're not losing any speed But if we die tomorrow At least we got what we need And you can carry on No I'm not judging you at all Takes us all different times To recover from school If you ever get your empire I'm sure I'll shake your hand But I think I'll be content Drawing pictures in the sand And as for all these photographs lying on the floor Yes, I'll burn them in the morning 'Cause I don't need them anymore And maybe I will miss them In Time we will see But I think I just realise that I want to be free So send my love to the system Send my love to the system Send my love to the system Send my love to the system
