These are dark days
But haven’t they always been?
Thoughts are things
And his are sickening
She bites down on her tongue
That old familiar taste
Of sucking it up
And knowing her place
She sleeps through the day
She’s scared to move at night
Even trying to breathe
Seems to be a fight
Holding out for hope
Scared to admit defeat
She’s stood at the top
Looking at concrete
She thought love conquered all
But it saves none
All lights get extinguished
No matter how bright they shone
Throwing daggers at the sky
Watching them be thrown back
Its a lot of weight to carry
All on the one back
Holding out for hope
Scared to admit defeat
She’s stood at the top
Looking at concrete
She watches demons shed their rust
Today she watched
The fabric fray
A little bit more
Chipped away every day
One moment just
Bleeds into the next
She hopes when she lands
She’ll get some rest
She found religion
As the sun went down
There are last times
There are “last times”
And it’s time to claim her crown
He asks
“Where do we go from here?”
She says
“We seem so near”
She found religion
As the sun went down
There are last times
There are “last times”
And it’s time to claim her crown
He asks
“Where do we go from here?”
She says
“We seem so near”
The saddest you felt then
You will realise
Was the happiest you have ever been
This is just something you have to do alone

We’re all in different rooms
Praying the end comes soon
And it’s not because we don’t love you
We made a promise
We made a pact
That we’d do right by you
Till your breath was your last
And now the time is here
And all I feel is fear
And I don’t know if I can do this
I don’t know if I can do this
There can’t be life without death
There can’t be love without regrets
You’ve been the sun to me
Always remember to be kind
And remember to take your time
Don’t rush through life with your eyes closed
You’ve repaid every debt
But I can see the future’s set
Please remember to look after yourself when I’m gone
I’m afraid we can’t out run time
And this body is no longer mine
All we can do is the best with the time we are lent
And when you feel the darkness creep up on you
Always remember this one truth
Always remember that i loved you
Always remember
I loved you

This is not the end
Don’t think that you are done
There is still more to come
We will dance upon funeral pyres
And watch embers touch the sky
I promise you will ride a wave to perfect laughter
It’s the only good fight there is
It’s the only good fight left there is
If I could live this for you I would
If I could take this away from you I would
If I could live this for you I would
If I could take this all away I would
If I could take this from you I would

You can take your pride with you
Just don’t let it weigh you down
You could hear a pin drop
As they heard the winds whisper
“I told you so”
“I told you so”
Nature never did betray
The hand that truly loved her
We spread our wings and turn our heads back
Our destruction looks so pretty from up here
We drink from our own cup
And never forget
You have to repay
Every debt
Never forget
Never forget
Every debt
Every debt

Sitting under the pier
He watches waves crash along the shore
The coffee in his hand shakes
And the dreams he once held dear blow away with the wind
How many lives, he thinks, can be lived in one lifetime?
And how many times will he have to rebuild?
Promises don’t mean as much as they used to
And he’s done with only feeling guilt
It will be a lonely road he must travel
And the destination is unknown
He just knows he’ll have to keep his guard up
And he knows he’ll have to do it alone
He looks at an old man at a table
Weather-beaten, with sadness in his eyes
A mirror of what he thinks he will become
But our hero isn’t done yet
There’s still a spark deep inside
All these things that he’s gone through
Are still running through his mind
It’s time for the next chapter
And there will still be trials to come
And he’s only just starting to feel again
And he’s sick of feeling numb
It’s time to start again

And with that it came to a close
Not with the explosion we imagined
But with a whimper
And I’m sorry it turned out this way
I’ll always love you
You’ll always be part of me
And know when I say this I’m not trying to be dramatic
I just can’t help how I feel
I hope you don’t keep fighting ghosts in the dark
And you stop listening to promises made by lonely fools
They won’t ever find the love that we had
Even if it ended up sick
And with all that said
I wish you all the best
Now it’s time to find
That part of wonder that is mine

Hello my friend
I see you’re back here again
Whispering in my ear
Gently guiding me by the wrist
I feel your embrace
And whatever you have in store for me
I wait for it with baited breath
I feel like I know what’s coming
But yet again, did I know all this all from the start?
They say when the ego is released
You can finally heal
Please let go
Let go

I wasn't sure if I would like this album - but yes, I do! The acoustic guitar is the leading instrument here, and things really get brilliant when the classical chamber ensemble joins in.

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.
