Lyrics

[Intro]
It's burning like a bad mistake
Like it's meant to
Like I'm used to
I'm feeling like I've found a place
I can come to
To belong to
[Verse 1]
If we don't get outside while it's daytime
I know we won't get out at all
To focus on it getting brighter
To stare at anything but the wall
The walls that you watch crumble and cave in
Yet seem to wrap through all of your life
Beyond the flat, there's building works on every single side
[Verse 2]
As they grow in height
They block out more light
Like they materialize
Just to blot the skies
[Verse 3]
I could feel his eyes on me, watchin'
I rushed to say goodbye down the phone
To tell the truth is to worry you, and I just can't come home
I really didn't think that he'd hit me
I really thought he was just talk
And we'd calmed down together, shared our fegs, and taken walks
He said he doesn't put his pain on others
Though there's been a lot of hurt in his life
He said if he let it out on someone, they would probably die
So I got off easy, I guess
Fifty quid and a barely bruised neck
[Verse 4]
Woken by a call in a panic
She asked if I could run to yours
The words that escaped through tears were stuck together, strangely blurred
The gap was always built to widen between what you deserve, and you get
You see few other avenues than death or deeper debt
But don't go yet
Please don't go yet
There are people who will love you who you haven't even met
[Verse 5]
They haven't quite completed the skyline
There's patches where the concrete is warm
And that is where we sat for hours where deeper bonds were formed
That is where the ambulance pulled up
And that is where it never arrived
Increasingly, it's chance whether they get to you in time
And we all see why
Through tired eyes
When they put him in the back, we were too numb to even cry
Cry
[Verse 6]
And I don't believe that history just flows in one direction
And I don't believe that anything will change at the next election
I don't believe in waiting for it or voting it in
Oh, it's never really happened that the powers just give in
[Verse 7]
Oh, we have signed petitions, we have marched, we have asked
Yet every day falls further, we draw closer to collapse
England has so cursed itself it cannot see its past, but we have always been here
And we will not be the last
[Outro]
It's burning like a bad mistake
Like it's meant to
Like I'm used to
I'm feeling like I've found a place
I can come to
To belong to
