These feet have blistered over On the streets of cities the world over But this town is where they bleed out I haven't given up looking for something And stealing life from underneath deaths nose 'Cos I'm still here dreaming 'Cos I'm still here dreaming Those words you left me with Were smothered in night and snow And hard to hear - Woah! Without consideration You cured me of that homesick feeling By making it so I could not go home That empty bottle still tastes of your lips But I'm stuck with it anyway Now every time you laugh Feels like you're laughing in my face And every step you take Feels like you're stamping on my grave But I'm still here surviving But I'm still here fucking dancing Those words you left me with Were smothered in night and snow And hard to hear - Woah! Without consideration You cured me of that homesick feeling By making it so I could not go home I've been lost for as long as my memory goes You were never gonna direct me home

In the half light I see shapes against the wall They remind me of times I once knew Try to forget and leave those memories behind To harden and not look in your eyes Because everything that pulls us apart Is a weight on my shoulders and a kick to my heart The burden I feel seems to be all mine Washed your hands of it Left me to live with both our lives Drinking to forget is sometimes Better than forgetting to drink at all In the morning I'll regret all of this No matter how natural it feels when we kiss How did we get here? How did it come to this? When every word feels like the greatest and the worst thing at the same time Just because I can't bring myself to cry Doesn't mean I'm not dying inside So I'll drown it Its the only thing that works I'll drown it Gives me something else to regret I'll kill it Its the way that I was taught But I have to live with it And deal with this alone It was always gonna be like this Drinking to forget is sometimes Better than forgetting to drink at all.

I lost everything to you Then I lost you too I let you steal my heart Didn't know you'd take my life as well Cut down Left in darkness in this tiny room With no-one and nothing With no-one and nothing Time snapping at my feet Ready to eat me alive This is what was left No-one and nothing No-one and nothing Not a lot is it? When we come back home With nothing but a wallet full of coins and the fear When everything I own Is sitting on the backseat of my car And I don't see a sunset to drive towards I don't see nothing at all Time snapping at my feet Ready to eat me alive This is what was left No-one and nothing No-one and nothing Not a lot is it? I never had much beneath this mask anyway Just a half considered act And a knack to see the truth through you Despite you Despite yourself Despite you Despite yourself

One last look, one last time One last chance to see your eyes And touch your hand as it slips out of mine Reminds me of the things we left behind And the things we never tried when our lives Touched and rhymed We never rode the Ferris Wheel By night or high And the last time we touched Felt like I was alive One last time A final touch, a final beat Our hearts on fire We're both absent tonight In our hearts we've already left When our tears expired Love is all we have tonight In that moment you broke my heart Sat together but apart On the couch we still both own We're both skin and bone Don't dare pick up the phone Both looking for the words to say The words already said, our life already made Filled with regret and the wine from yesterday Try not to meet each others gaze I used to live under your watchful eyes As you did mine I miss that sometimes But it won't change what we have to do Sometimes I just miss you A final touch, a final beat Our hearts on fire We're both absent tonight In our hearts we've already left When our tears expired Love is all we have tonight Dry your eyes on mine Dry your eyes before you drive home Dry your eyes before you lie Dry your eyes one last time Dry your eyes on mine Its the only way I could bring myself to cry Dry your eyes before you lie Dry your eyes one last time

about

The Dead Anyways Bromley, UK

The Dead Anyways are four friends from South East London. We play a kind of fast paced agitated pop punk with influences coming from all over the greater punk spectrum. We'd like to think we sound like a mixture of Bad Religion, Dillinger Four and The Lawrence Arms... We probably sound like something else entirely. ... more
