lyrics

The final line shall be
An ending's never empty
Welcome to the future
Of last year's revenge fantasy
We are all ghosts
Spectres 'cross this city
I find myself in opaque shadows
Last chapter of this journey

The letter was left
on the window cill
"Half a disaster waits for you
On the farside of that hill"

Others whispered words become a tear become the truth
When all I ever wanted was to be here with you

I burned my own books to keep the fire bright
And stood in dumb wonder at this infinite decline

There's a noise in my head, it's just white noise in my head. There's a noise in my head, it's just white noise in my head. Pointless words, fruitless actions. Pointless words, fruitless actions.

I'd be a national trust park ranger
Six months missing in action
The driest summer in a century
Firewatch by candlelight

From sanity's vantage point
In that other life
In sight of Yorkshire
Recite the poems of my youth to pass the time

I feel the future like a killer feels the past
I promise my heart was always here,
But my mind, tied in knots, was elsewhere

So I go walking
I see the distant radar station
Time for one last shot
At mass communication

I clasp my chest
Too long in the belly of the beast
Like the watchmaker observes
The five digits of a nine

I’ve done my time I know it’s a war on dust
How many chords before the choking truth reveals itself to you ?

I feel the end is coming
But please don't skip ahead
An ending's never empty
Listen: there's a noise in your head

There’s a noise in my head, there’s just white noise in my head
There’s a noise in my head, there’s just white noise in my head
