Biffy Clyro Album

angels fall to the floor

''silver children'' she roared
''im not the son of god''
somebody help me sing
can anybody hear me
liars and lovers combine tonight
were gonna make a scene

somebody help me sing
wooaah
somebody help me sing
wooaah

our crippeld disgueses
i wont show whats underneath
its time for suprises
i cant climb up your ladder
i cannot ride your horse
ive swallowed half an hour glass
so now the landscape is slowin up

i have birth to a fire
its like its features are burning
im in control
i am the son of god
somebody help me sing

line up your soliders one final time
we're gonna have a ball!
somebody help me sing
wooaah
somebody help me sing
wooaah

our crippeld disgueses
i wont show whats underneath
its time for suprises
i cant climb up your ladder
i cannot ride your horse
ive swallowed half an hour glass
so now the landscape is slowin up

lets lock death away....

Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head
We made love at the side of the road
Reflex, you better know this flows fast
This river is particularly sinister
Close your eyes and take my hand

I wanna scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Chorus
Love that golden rule, that golden rule
Need that golden rule, that golden rule
Secrets are the truth, they are the truth
We need that silver rule, that silver rule

Face to face with the ball and chain
I'll poke my head up till its red
I tell my secrets and you took my pain
About a broken heart and I will do it again
Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head

I want to scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Chorus
Love that golden rule that golden rule
Need that golden rule that golden rule
Secrets are the truth they are the truth
We need that silver rule that silver rule

solo

Well how's your view of things today?
Got up young to fade away
The sinners sin but aren't aware
Our fables take us everywhere
I can't keep up with you
I can't keep up

I can't compete with history
We'll film it live but dub our tale
The mistery must stay inside
Look at our homes, look at our lives
In control of the morning
In control of the sea

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
In her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner
She'll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins)
She'll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins)
She'll wash away your sins and go home

I only once upset my kin
Accused him of a moral slip
Well he came back and claimed the change
I know his life's the same again
I can't ask him again
I should let it go

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
She's down by the river
In her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
She's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner
There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
(Wash away your sins, wash away your sins)
She's face down in the river

I talk to God as much as
I talk to Satan cos
I want to hear both sides
Does that make me cynical
There are no miracles
And this is no miraculous life

I savor hate as much as
I crave love because
I'm just a twisted guy
Is this the pinnacle
Is this the pinnacle,
The pinnacle of being alive
Now I see the light

Well I look up to God but
I see trouble cos
This ain't a miracle
I just want to take my chance
To live through a miracle
Ooah, ooah

I know for certain that
Someone is watching but
Is it from up or down?
I make you miserable
You stick with me although
You know I'm gonna ruin your life

I talk to God as much as
I talk to Satan cos
I want to hear both sides
Does that make me cynical
There are no miracles
And this is no miraculous life
We walk into the tide

Well I look up to God but
I see trouble
Cos this ain't no miracle
I just want to take my chance to
Live through a miracle

When the seesaw snaps
And splinters your hand
Don't come crying to me
I'll only see your good side
And believe it's a miracle
A miracle

I slap the water and watch
The fish dance to the ripples of us
Were just stubborn duds
Blinking eyes encased in rust

This ain't a miracle
This ain't a miracle
This ain't a miracle
This ain't a miracle

I pronounce it aluminium
Cause there's an I next to the U and M
Now write it down slowly
And read it out fast

Shes got eyes
Preposterous eyes
I've never had a lover who's my
Sister or my brother before

I've been counting on the wrong things
To make life feel alright
You can be
My acid queen
Until the end of time
Cause you can have it all
You're stuck in the middle
Raise them one and all
I was born on a horse that's all

I like to think im just a thoroughbred
Open name with no horses flesh
We're galloping slowly
Through this broken glass
She's got hooves
Proposterious hooves
I've never had a lover who's my
Sister or my brother before

I've been counting on the wrong things
To make life feel alright
You can be my acid queen
Until the end of time
Cause you can have it all
Raise them one and all
I was born on a horse that's all

You can have it all
You're stuck in the middle
Raise them one and all
I was born on a horse thats all

I took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.

I took a drink out of the ocean and I'm treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.

'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.

I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there's and end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.

'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.

Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me.(You are my mountain, you are my sea)

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea

Well you scratch and your scratch 'til you face comes away
Replaced by a hole a vortex just waiting to play
I commend your violence

Well I enter a cave with my wrists sticking out
The soles of my feet worn down to a dusty mess
I'll stay numb to these accidents

Well you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about
Maintain my silence

You're a shame to your dad 'cause you're killing his days
Irresponsible life you've only yourself to blame
Maintain your friendliness

Well you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about
Maintain my silence

You're wondering why you're exhausted, exhausted from
Using these lies
I'm sure you'll regress again
Maintain your silence

I've been Crippled by shock, shocked again
I'll continue to douse your violence
With kisses of hate and silence
I've been crippled by shock

You say, "I love you boy."
But I know you lie.
I trust you all the same
I don't know why

Cause when my back is turned
My bruises shine
Our broken fairytale
So hard to hide

I still believe
It's you and me 'til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
When you hit me, hit me hard

Sittting in a wishing hole
Hoping it stays dry
Feet cast in solid stone
I've got Gilligan's eyes

I still believe
It's you and me 'til the end of time.

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it.
When you hit me, hit me hard.

Cause you said love
Was letting us go against what
Our future is for
Many of horror
Our future is for
Many of horror

I still believe,
It's you and me 'til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
When you hit me, hit me hard.

I've had enough
You burn the bridge I'll cut the boat in half
Control
I've said enough, you keep secrets I know you'll never spill
Sold

Boom, blast and ruin girl
Causes distractions
You're rooted in hell

I can't surprise you girl, the truth is in motion
You cover it well you're praying for some action so you won't
Realise
You used to be wrong, I used to be right

I flick the switch
I wake up in a corpse of sweat and tears
Soaked
I swallow truths
We fit like ice cream on an open wound
It soothes

Sink like cathedrals girl
Into the ocean
We rise like the sun

I can't surprise you girl, the truth is in motion
You cover it well you're praying for some action so you won't
Realise
You used to be wrong, I used to be right

Boom, blast and ruin girl
Causes distractions
You're rooted in hell

I can't surprise you girl, the truth is in motion
You cover it well you're praying for some action so you won't
Realise
You used to be wrong, I used to be right
You used to be wrong, I used to be right

Dance if you wanna dance, if you wanna sweat
Sweat if you wanna smell, go do it alone
Fuck if you wanna fuck, if you wanna cum
Sleep if you wanna sleep, talk more in the morn'

Look up to the sky, is it still good to feel alive?
Well I can dance on top of a hurricane

This combination will make it's way round
Congratulations on marrying this clown

Swing if you wanna swing, hanging on a rope
Burn if you wanna burn, do it on your own
Cry if you wanna cry, acknowledge your heart
Wish if you wanna wish, the only way is up

Blame it on the world, visit them one and all
You have to comprehend what your heart says

This combination will make it's way round
Congratulations on marrying this clown

There's a black mould on my frazzled lungs, it whistles
My throat is gone, I'm still holding on
But I don't have long, no I don't have long
'Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on and on
It whistles, let go, let go
'Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on and on
It whistles, let go, let go

Dance if you wanna dance, if you wanna sweat
Sweat if you wanna smell, go do it alone
Fuck if you wanna fuck, if you wanna cum
Sleep if you wanna sleep, talk more in the morn'

When I was young
I first encountered my crippled lungs
I felt them burn
And cursed them ever since
I was turning blue
In a match right in front of you
And I slithered to the floor
Hope I score some more

I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
Go crazy in the evening if we sail upright
Love is a shadow in the brightness it dies

Because tonight, we raise the sun
And we shine it over everyone
If we want a gradual hush
Our lips should kiss each other so...
I just want to feel your body
I want you to know your quarry

You can see the world
Looking down from a different universe
Can we save every single one of them
We only have five hands
My father cradled us
We're bright blue and we're covered in blood
We staggered through the door
Trouble is taking score

Who's a hippy now?
I cut it off to make you proud,
abuse my limbs until the sun goes down
I don't want to be alone again.

A Jesus heart graft (?!)
no handshake upon the ass
your saving grace is talking fast
I don't want to be born again
am I ready to take that chance,
put my faith in someone else?

Let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises

I'll make the brightness yours
so we can deny who we are
I'll love you but not today
the darkness fell like a shout.
am i ready to take that chance,
put my faith in someone else?

let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises

Together we stand, we're at the bottom of the cove;
it looked like rain, but it felt like snow.
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
we'll dig our way out but we'll still say no.

Who, when, this king and how(?),
these whorses turned to make him proud
his visions cut my wings and crowns
lets use this photograph
he's never had the chance to believe in something else.

let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises
we want to affect a change with voice and electrical noises

Together we stand, we're at the bottom of the cold;
it looked like rain, but it felt like snow.
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
Well, we'll dig our way out but we'll still say no.

Darkness fell like a shout;
the darkness fell like a shout;
darkness fell like the shout;

we want to affect a change, with voice and electrical noises

wherever we crash, we're gonna blame it on the oak(?)
need to the touch, and crippled to the bone
however we stand they'll be swinging from the ropes
I'm finished and young or happy and old (?)
