In the space between the storm and the sea, is where you’ll find my weary eyes
In this habit I’ve found in wasting time, ever since I met my worst
Haunting streetlights remain my reminder of all that I’ve left behind
Left me broken and blue, down on my knees,
For what keeps me alive is slowly killing me, what keeps me alive kills me
If we make it out by morning we might be alright
All attempts to stop the bleeding are bleeding me dry
Perpetual fates are like blue warning lights
Home is wherever you happen to be tonight
Drawing lines in the sand where my castles they fall
I’ve been stretched so thin I see no light at all
So let's get fucked up and dream, and be resolute
And try to remember our fortitude
Let's try to remember our fortitude
If we make it out by morning we might be alright
All attempts to stop the bleeding are bleeding me dry
Perpetual fates are like blue warning lights
Home is wherever you happen to be tonight
it's a waiting game
i've learned to play
i try to win
cause it hurts to lose
and it's a sad request
it's a feeling in your chest
that you've got something
you might never use
yeah i won't find love
until i find you
it's all these pretty little girls
with their manhattan pearls
they wear the night
on their black leather jackets
it's a train that i missed
it's a shoulder i kissed
and everything else
that just pulls away
i won't find love
until i find you
it's the rush hour blur
all the voices you heard
and how the street goes silent
when i meet your eyes
like the view from the bridge
that lonesome elevation
it's keeping my spirits high
but i won't find love
until i find you
It's words you forget
To anniversary songs
The bottles bite back
Your tolerance wrong
Your good intentions count for little anymore
If you're sorry, why wage war?
I'm not fully convinced
There's something wrong with this
Could another point of view
Biased and untrue
Tear me away from you?
Will you be my valentine?
If I'm a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants aren't so constant anymore
Two days I wait for
Calls to come though
Tonight for me translates to yesterday to you
Bend and you wave
You're barely away
I wish I could say tonight
That when you bend and wave goodbye
You'd take me with you
Will you be my valentine?
If I'm a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants aren't so constant anymore
The constants aren't so constant anymore
Will you be my valentine? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
Will you be my valentine? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
If I'm a world away? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
If I'm a world away? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
The constants aren't so constant anymore

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
