Exiles

(album: Dopamine - 2015)

The studio's red light on a smoke-filled screen
Trying to find the sound, I can't say what I mean
Are we breaking up the band, the naturals at dark arts
I think you like the feeling of falling apart

When I remember everything I said
And I don't take it back
In the silence of this breakup, all my cracks are exposed
And another night goes black on black

Cause I recognize something in you that makes me feel I'm not alone
I recognize something deeper than I've ever known
And we'll never change, we'll never have a home
This is ours for awhile

We're exiles
We are exiles

A kitchen light at midnight, all her flatmates are asleep
Before she makes me go, it's about to go deep
You're going to miss us when we grow up
I miss your sweetness and your grief
I may be a mystery but you were beyond belief

When Ziggy Stardust plays at a karaoke bar
And I can't remember the DJ's name
Everyone knows who you are and
We'll never change, we'll never have a home
This is ours now for awhile
We're exiles

We are exiles
We're exiles so
We are exiles so slow
We're exiles

Come and sing it out
You're the next best thing to the devil
Come and sing it out
At the crossroads, at the crossroads yeah

Cause I recognize in you something in you that makes me feel I'm not alone
(Exiles)
And I recognize something deeper than I've ever known
(Exiles)
And we'll never change, we'll never have a home
This is ours for awhile
We're exiles
We are exiles
