ABOUT /

Taken from EJECT: Archives + Demos 2004-2014 album.
Recorded in 2009. I remember writing this song looking over London. I don't remember much about recording it. It was meant to be a full band track, but we captured something in this version instead.

lyrics

LYRICS /

This siren in my head, it's only answering you
I was only cold when I opened the window when you left
I rub the salt in the wounds to punish myself, for all the dirty things I've been thinking about when there's no one around me to keep me grounded
Now there's no one around here to keep me grounded now

There's this broken old radio I can't get out of my head
Cos for 27 years I've been looking for someone, and I ain't even close yet
You see, I'm a man on a ledge, I'm only waiting for god
I prolifically relay all the love that I break

And then I send out the battleships to keep me from drowning
And then I sink all your battleships to keep me from drowning you

So hold me close now, cos this war might last forever
But you should know I'm not the man you used to love
We can sail to Paris, and get drunk on wine in winter 
Writing songs about the time we fell in love

I rub the salt in the wounds to punish myself, for all the dirty things I've been thinking about when there's no one around me
You see, I'm a man on a ledge, I'm only waiting for god
I prolifically relay all the love that I break

And then I send out the battleships to keep me from drowning
I'm gonna send out the battleships to keep me from drowning
It's true nothing ever changes, see it's all just the same, girl
I'm gonna sink all your battleships to keep me from drowning you
