The Captain Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Angels fall to the floor
Like they would if I was Captain
Silver children, she roared
I'm not the son of God
Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Liars and lovers combine tonight
We're gonna make a scene

Somebody help me sing, whoa
Somebody help me sing, whoa

Help me Captain of our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I cannot ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

I gave birth to a fire
It's like it's features were burning
I'm in control
I am the son of God
Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Line up your soldiers on final time
We're gonna have a ball

Somebody help me sing, whoa
Somebody help me sing, whoa

Help me Captain of our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I cannot ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

Let's lock death away...

That Golden Rule Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

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]

Bubbles Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Well how's your view of thing 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 mystery 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
And go home

I only once upset my kin
Accused him of a moral slip
He came back and claimed a 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
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

There's a girl, there's a girl
There's a girl, there's a girl
(She'll wash away your sins)
She's face down in the river
(She'll wash away your sins and go home)

God & Satan Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I talk to god as much
As I talk to satan
'Cause I wanna hear both sides
Does that make me cynical,
There are no miracles and
This is no miraculous life
I savour 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
'Cause this ain't a miracle
I just want to take my chance
To live through a miracle

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
We walk into the tide

Well I look up to god
But I see trouble
'Cause this ain't a miracle
I just want to take my chance
To live through a miracle

When the see-saw 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
We're just dull blue 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
Ooohhh

Born On A Horse Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

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
She's 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 could 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 thats all

I like to think I'm just a thouroughbred
In all but name and with no horses flesh
We're galloping slowly through this broken glass
She's got hooves, preposterous 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 could 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 thats all

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

Mountains Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

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
Took a drink out of the ocean and, treading water before I drowned
Lets dive, I want to dive, to the bottom of the ocean
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 the mountain
I am the sea
You can't take that away from me
I am the 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
They wrote me back that I was never crowned
King of the jungle so, there's a end to my horizon
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 the mountain
I am the sea
You can't take that away from me
I am the 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
Nothing lasts forever, between you and me
You are my mountain, you are my sea

I am the mountain
I am the sea
You can't take that away from me
I am the mountain
I am the sea
I am the mountain
I am the sea

Shock Shock Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

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

Many Of Horror (When We Collide) Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

You say "I love you, boy"
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

Sitting 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

You said love was letting us go against what
Our future is for...

Many of horror
Our future's 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

Booooom, Blast And Ruin Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

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

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

I can't surprise you girl
The truth is in motion
You cover it well
But 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 copse 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 to the sun

I can't surprise you girl
The truth is in motion
You cover it well
But 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 distraction
You're rooted in hell

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

Cloud Of Stink Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

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 bur, 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 and on and on
It whistles (Let go)

'Cause it goes on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
It whistles (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'

Know Your Quarry Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

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 up right(?).
Love is a shadow, in the brightness it dies;

because tonight,
we raise the sun, and we shine it over everyone.
And if we won a crash oh 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, the only half I've hands(?)
my father cradled us; we're bright blue and we're covered in blood,
we staggered through the door, trouble's taken score.

I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
go crazy in the evening if we sail up right(?).
Love is a shadow, in the brightness it dies;

because tonight,
we raise the sun, and we shine it over everyone.
And if we won a crash oh hush(?),
our lips should kiss each other so;
I just want to feel your body,
I want you to know your quarry.

I just want to, feel your body; I want you to, know your quarry.
I just want to, feel your body; I want you to, know your quarry.

Whorses Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Who's the 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.
Got Jesus' Autograph,
no handshake or pat on the ass
his saving grace was talking fast
I don't want to be bored 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 Love you but not today
the darkness fell like a shout.
am i ready to take that chance,
put my faith in someone else?

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.

The wound is king and how,
his whorses turn they make him proud
his vision's clipped like 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 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

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 old
unique to the touch, and crippled to the bone
however we stand they'll be swinging from the ropes
unfinished and young or unhappy and old

"Puzzle" (2007)

Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Come on baby do you think it's good to feel
Like I'm lying here swimming in memories
I fear God because everything dies babe
Got a gun in the back of my car
A spasm of good sense is making my eye twitch
I've had enough of all your consolation

I'm drowning caught in a shit tide
Tape my face to the inside of love
Nothing to eat but fears in the back seat
Well I've met God and he had nothing to say to me

I pray to God that you're right before my eyes
Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes

Don't wanna waste no more time
Time's what we don't have
Everywhere I look someone dies
Wonder when it's my turn

How well do you know me?
Leave an open door, what you looking for
Babe when you come down?
I built a time machine to escape from
All the pain in the back of my car
Living's a problem because everything dies babe
Save yourself you're not too far away

I pray to God that you're right before my eyes
Bathed in white light with halos in your eyes

Don't wanna waste no more time
Time's what we don't have
Everywhere I look someone dies
Wonder when it's my turn

Saturday Superhouse Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I'll be sitting on the left side, you'll be sitting on the right
Dying to share our problems, make everything alright
Then I see a darkness, you see the blinding light
Will Oldham's in the corner moaning "Can't you write your own lines"

If we don't know where we belong
It'll make no difference from where we started
Look out kid because here it comes
You're not the lucky ones

There's a dozen corpses on the left side, I swear one's smiling at me
Compliments on your confessions baby, wow you really showed me
You think that you're full of conviction, really you're just trying to survive
Tie them up then spit them out it's good to help the boy shine

If we don't know where we belong
It'll make no difference from where we started
Look out kid because here it comes
You're not the lucky ones

Who's Got A Match? Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Which of the witches do you belong?
The one with the eye patch or the one who's highly strung
I know you can't trust anyone
How do you capture a photograph?
Put it to sleep pretend you're having a laugh
I know you thought you'd have the last

I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight

The midget is frigid I put it to you
Who's got a match I've got the petrol to set it too
I know I shouldn't have trusted you
It's making me tense when you're telling me
It's just the facts that don't compute the classic way
I guess I'm wrong again anyway

I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn burn tonight

I'm a fire and I'll burn tonight
I'm a fire
I'm a fire and I'll burn tonight
I'm a fire

I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire and I'll burn burn
I'm a fire
I'm a fire
I'm a fire.

As Dust Dances Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

There's a man on the corner selling dozens of bones
Every type of bone except the one that I want
Ever think what your eyes do they're trying to sleep
But where your tongue rests, is it against your teeth

And now it's bigger than us
It's bigger than everything it decides to touch

Asleep is the safest place you could be
You can try hard to catch it, it just catches you
Imagine a camera coming up from your feet
Relax all your muscles son just hope your hearts in one piece

And now it's bigger than us
It's bigger than everything it decides to touch
It's bigger than a halo, a devil, an angel and a crow

The bones got the wrong detail I hoped it would have
Safe for a shin bone or even a hand

It's such a lonely ride
It's such a lonely ride
It's such a lonely ride
It's such a lonely ride
It's such a lonely ride
It's such a lonely ride
It's such a lonely ride
It's such a lonely ride

And now it's bigger than us
It's bigger than everything it decides to touch
The bones got the wrong detail I hoped it would have for you
Safe for a shin bone or even a hand

There's a man on the corner selling dozens of bones
Every type of bone except the one that I want.

A Whole Child Ago Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I don't want to let you know your hearts an attraction
But I know what you're looking for
It's me you're waiting for
You're not allowed to live anymore

And a whole child ago I would sleep all day
Doing handstands in bottle bins
To prove that I'm sane
And I'm not fooling around

Looks like we made it
I can tell that she'd been flying
Looks like we made it tonight

I'm the second devil on your right or left with an eyeball
Melting out the corner of my mouth
The wings are bleeding
You're not supposed to fly anymore

And a whole child ago I would sleep all day
Doing handstands in bottle bins
To prove that I'm sane
And I'm not fooling around

Looks like we made it
I can tell that she'd been flying
Looks like we made it tonight

Looks like we made it
I can tell that she'd been flying
I saw her in the sky

Why don't you just ask her yourself
Why don't you just ask her yourself
Why don't you just ask her yourself
Why don't you just ask her yourself
Why don't you just ask her yourself
Why don't you just ask her yourself.

The Conversation Is... Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I wander streets at night and hope to god to see your face
The fluorescent billboards sell a wonderful life that doesn't exist anymore
The conversation is
The conversation is over

What will I do if I'm wrong
Will I blame it on everyone
Else like I always do
So I'm a coward because of you

Are pills the only way to make myself complete again
They become the only way to a wonderful life with a happy ending
The conversation is
The conversation is over

What will I do if I'm wrong
Will I blame it on everyone
It's like I always do
I'm a coward because of you
I'm finding it hard to explain why I think that I'm right again
I'd love someone else to blame so I'm a coward because of you
And then you try to understand what it takes to be a man
And then you look into your hearts it defines you

What will I do if I'm wrong
Will I blame it on everyone
It's like I always do
I'm a coward because of you
I'm finding it hard to explain why I think that I'm right again
I'd love someone else to blame so I'm a coward because of you
And then you try to understand what it takes to be a man
And then you look into your hearts it defines you

The conversation is over
The conversation is over.

Now I'm Everyone Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Happiness is an allusion
Hold me close to see me a little more
Until my body feels your magic touch and steals my skin before it rots
My castle is a great illusion

Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, its less than I've ever been

Hairy eyes are an obstruction
Help me die don't wanna rush ya
And all I need is a philosophy of noise to help me laugh and breathe
My castle is a great illusion

Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, its less than I've ever been
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone
Now I'm everyone, now I'm everyone, its less than I've ever been

This is the one [x38]

Semi-Mental Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I smoke my face in, night after night
To numb the pain and stop the world spinning round and round
But how was I to know that in my mind I'm not so pure
Look into my eyes you can see I'm many different people

You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental
You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental

I'm not a drinker, I try it every night
I force it down to throw it up and start all over again
But I will climb a tower to stick my flag on top
And look down on everyone, help me to salute the people

You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental
You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental

You have tried to resist the pain, but you know you're not alone
I have tried to resist the pain, but now I'm all alone

You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental
You shone a light on my life, now I'm just sentimental

4/15ths Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Are you irrelevant? You've fallen to pieces
How do you become one again?
Are you an elephant? You'll crush me to pieces
How do you do?

Love Has A Diameter Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

You can give up if you like your heads lying down at your feet
You can call on the phone anytime you want to talk to me
If you know who you are you can always go round and see
If you don't and you're scared concentrate and grit your teeth

I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking at me

Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah

Feathers will fly if you shoot a bullet full of bubble gum
At my throat or my heart I'm protected by a humming bird
Receive only luck if you can it wouldn't be a constant mistake
Over flown but under worn so please come follow me

I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking at me
I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking, the television looking at me

Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah
Wooooah
(i will claw at your own feet)
Wooooah
(just because it tastes so sweet)
Wooooah
(take it out quiet star)
Wooooah
(its not like your in need)
Wooooah

I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking at me
(I will claw at your own feet)
I'm watching the radio cause I don't compare
(take it out quiet star)
I'm watching the radio but it's the television looking, the television looking at me

Wooooah
Wooooah
(television looking at me)
Wooooah
Wooooah
(television looking at me)
Wooooah
Wooooah
(television looking at me)

Get Fucked Stud Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Oh my distorted smile will tighten its grip
Now somebody is asking when you will disappear
You have to believe yourself to be happy now
You can't reply on someone else to be happy

Get fucked stud it's time to kill
Only you see the sunset on amphetamines

All hands on the courtesy cunt
Get fucked stud I know you will burn in hell
For pretending to be the god of all men I demand of you
Pretend to burn in hell to be
The god of all well follow me
You're fucking right. I'm all at sea
My teeth are made of baby hair

The skyline is burning red so we'll all go down
Follow my head to survive cause it won't take us long to come round
The skyline is burning red so we'll all go down
Follow my head to survive cause it won't take us long to come round

Get fucked stud it's time to kill
Only you see the sunset on amphetamines

The skyline is burning red so we'll all go down
Follow my head to survive cause it won't take us long to come round

Folding Stars Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Take a long hard look at yourself
How did you end up here
The blood drips like red inverted balloons
Tomorrow is a promise to no-one

If you want, follow me and I'll lead you inside
You don't have to run and hide

Eleanor, Eleanor
I would do anything for another minute with you because
It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier

In a bedroom with no windows or doors
All the happy people are crying
You can't hold a gaze for a second or two
It always ends in total darkness

Eleanor, Eleanor
I would do anything for another minute with you because
It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier
You will be folding stars
You can't ever understand
It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier

It ends in a place with no love only hate
And a mirror reflecting the truth
In your eyes, in your face you can't wash it away
From your cold, cold heart

I hope that you're folding stars

9/15ths Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

We're on a hellslide help us help us

Are you irrelevant? You're falling to pieces

How do you become one again?
Are you an elephant? You've fallen to piececs
How do you do?

We're on a hellslide help us help us

Machines Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I would dig a thousand holes to lay next to you
I would dig a thousand more if I needed to
I look around the grave for an escape route of old routines
There doesn’t seem to be any other way

Cause I’ve started falling apart I’m not savouring life
I’ve forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

Crazy as it sounds you wont feel as low as you feel right now
At least that’s what I've been told by everyone
I whisper empty sounds in your ear and hope that you won’t let go
Take the pieces and build them skywards

Cause I've started falling apart I’m not savouring life
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards

I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards

I've started falling apart I'm not savouring life
Take the pieces and build them skywards
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skywards

Take the pieces and build them skywards
and
Take the pieces and build them skywards
and
Take the pieces and build them up to the sky.

Drop It Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I fell in love with the root of all good
She turned round and left me
I knew that she would

I fell in love with the root of all evil
Now I’m just starting to see

I drop into the ocean
My friend the stormy sea
As long as the blindness
Won’t leave me tonight

I felt the wrath of the chosen one
I wanted forgiveness but was given none
Let all the lights scream in my eyes
That’s how I want it to fee

I fell in love
I fell in love

"Infinity Land" (2004)

Glitter And Trauma Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Diamonds, glitter and trauma tears, with an unfriendly atmosphere.
We'll make our night, we'll make tonight.

Your potential is underused, your skin will break into jigsaw shaped pieces of meat, you'll fall
apart.

You can save them all.
I believe that you can.
Even though... you never listen.
You never listen.

But you are, the human, strobe.
You are the human strobe.

We are, like lightening, surrounded.
You are the human strobe.

Slaughtered moments and useless tales, encourage others to take the blame.
I love you when, you're not around.

You can save them all.
I believe that you can.
Even though... you never listen.
You never listen.

Let's take aim, you're looking the other way.
The right target, she's looking the other way.
There's no wreckage, I'll help you to do it right, tonight... we'll make it ours.

You are, the human, strobe.
You are the human strobe.

We are, like lightening, surrounded.
You are the human strobe.

Let's take aim, I'll help you to do it right.
Tonight... we'll make it ours.

You are, the human, strobe.
You are the human strobe.

We are, like lightening, surrounded.
You are the human strobe.

Strung To Your Ribcage Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

You'll never catch me.
My belly is black, and, red.
Black and red. [x3]

You complete me.
Fucking say it, fucking say it, fucking say it.

It's like you're meant to be a hostage, another hostage, will eat you alive.
Fucking say it, fucking say it, fucking say it.

I take it for granted, that you'll feel at home.
You complete me.

When you flirt it makes me nauseous, I'm fucking nauseous, and I'll eat you... alive.

I take it for granted, that you'll feel at home.

Emotions never change, only towards you.
Look down, I'm strung to your ribcage.
Look down, I'm strung to your ribcage.

Inflamed, in every other way, in every other way.
Look down, I'm strung to your ribcage.
Look down, I'm strung to your ribcage.

Inhale, the splinters and the rain, the splinters and the rain.
Look down, I'm strung to your ribcage.
Look down, I'm strung to your ribs.

Ooh,ooh. [x4]

My Recovery Injection Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I've been waitin on the overdrive.
Slick and polished on the inside.
It ruins feeding time.

I'll recover in an empty room.
In remission from a real mood.
Sit down, fuck-up, and wait your turn.

Why can't we hide, our secret lives?

Why can't we climb, this useless height?

You hide your time, so well.
Small scars of love, and hate, and happiness.
You hide your scars, so well.

I'll recover if you want me to.
Dig my way out of my black mood.
Wait for the sun to fade.

Why can't we hide, our useless lives?

You hide your time, so well.
Small scars of love, and hate, and happiness.
You hide your scars, so well.

You hide your time, so well.
Small scars of love, and hate, and happiness.
You hide your scars, so well.

And nothing matters anymore. [x6]

(You...) And nothing matters anymore.
(Say...) And nothing matters anymore.
(Nothing...) And nothing matters anymore.
(You...) And nothing matters anymore.
(Say...) And nothing matters anymore.
(Nothing...) And nothing matters anymore.

Got Wrong Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I'm wrong
I'm wrong
I'm wrong
I don't know, why i take, it out on you
Could you dance in the black light of my glow
Could you dance in the white light of the snow
I'm wrong
I'm wrong
I'm wrong
My hair, recedes, from the horns
Could you dance in the black light of my glow
Could you dance in the white light of the snow
In other words, it takes what it takes
Got wrong
Got wrong
Got wrong
My hair, recedes, from the horns
In other words, it takes what it takes
In other words, it takes what it takes
In other words, it takes what it takes
To rely, on another one
Its our last chance
To help each other

The Atrocity Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I don't wanna die,
Don't expect me to die,
I've got my enemies, within my sight,
We're looking through a stain glassed genocide.

I don't wanna die,
Don't expect me to die,
What's joy without the tears, filling our eyes?
Memories of a perfect time.

We dream of nothing, or so we say,
We dream of discovering, a perfect trail,
To the answers that, will seal our pale faces.

That can't happen now,
It's flickering out,
Will we meet again? I hope somehow,
Even if we pass you on your way, out.

I don't wanna die,
Don't expect me to die,
We can live forever.

I don't wanna die,
Don't expect me to die,
We can live forever.

Some Kind Of Wizard Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

It’s spreading from my lungs
Our lips have come undone

And you say it’s nothing
To discuss like eagles
And I’m floating face down

No sense makes sense
To me at all
When expression says it all
No sense makes sense
To me at all

It spreading to my tongue
Insert your own joke here

Quick, unstitch my eyes
Before they stick together

And you say it’s nothing
To discuss like eagles
And I’m floating face down

No sense makes sense
To me at all
When your expression says it all
No sense makes sense
To me at all

Bet that you said you’d never
But you keep what you hold
(Take hold)
(Take hold)
(Take hold)
(Take hold)

The chase is everything
And what I want to say
I’m taking it back, I’m taking it back
From your history

The chase is everything
And anyone can see
Release their volume
All are history

Wave Upon Wave Upon Wave Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Why bother talking, if nobody's listening
Blame it on the final, phase of your induction
Why bother talking, if nobody's listening
Name it as a first-born, the firstborn is dead

Theres a knife in my hand
Covered in blood, I can't understand
Why, fucker, why
Wave upon wave upon wave upon wave

Why bother sitting, I can't stand sitting
Just blame it on someone, its your own instruction
Why bother talking, if nobody's listening
Name it as a first-born, the firstborn's alive

Theres a knife in my hand
Covered in blood, I can't understand
Why, fucker, why
Why, why, why, why

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
To see what it takes
I can't say no
I can't say no
To see what it takes

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

We're letting it go
Just before time
Sink to the bottom of our lives
We're letting it go
Before our time
Out us steal our sack live
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in magic?

Wave upon wave upon wave upon wave

Only One Word Comes To Mind Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

This time
it's now or never
the ones we are
supposed to bow to

In time we all crawl
believe in believe in me

In time we all fall
through her fingers
Its alright to hide away
underneath the ocean

Open up the way
I have to feel right

In time we all saw
Him open up her

These words won't help you
If you're looking for answers
These words won't help you

It's alright to hide away
Underneath the ocean
Open up the way
I have to feel right

There's No Such Man As Crasp Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Ribs break
Souls stay bare
This i know
Your forked stare
Cuts through

Face up to a pointless task
Its the same
Re-written as crasp

Ribs break
Souls stay bare
This i know
Your forked stare
Cuts through

Face up to a pointless task
Its the same
Re-written as crasp

Face up to a pointless task
His name
Is crasp

Ribs break
Souls stay bare

There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Look up!!
C-c-c-c-c-captain christ says!!
You think too much about the wrong things.
You sing about the wrong things.
Take extra special care!!

Simply put you're a fuck up.
C-c-c-c-c-captain christ says!!
You think too much about the wrong things.
You sing about the wrong things.

Take extra special care..
Take extra special...
Take extra special...

Take on the world, at their own game.
You might succeed, and win again.

Ribs break. Souls stay bare.
Your' forked stare cuts through.
You twist, you turn
Wrapping around me, wrapping around me.
Now, so tight, squeezing the life from me.

You're facing a pointless task.
But it's the same thing, and it's the same thing.
And I will face the task...

Kids From Kibble And The Fist Of Light Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Say! Nothing’s better
You say nothing’s better
Say! Nothing’s better than the rest
Say! Hope you’re better than the rest ‘cause you talk a good game

Your sensations are suffering
I’ll make your sensations suffer

Through these long sadistic highs
When you say the way I collide with you
I hope you see straight

Tonight, I’m in a rage
Tonight, I’m in a rage

Say! Nothing’s better than the rest ‘cause you talk a good game

My sensations are suffering
My sensations are suffering
Through these long sadistic nights
Did you see the way I
Collide, with you
I hope you see straight

Tonight, I’m in a rage
Tonight, I’m in a rage

Once again
You’ve missed the point

These strange explosions hit me
Like a fist of light
These strange explosions hit me
Like a fist of light
These strange explosions hit me
Like a fist of light
These strange explosions hit me
Like a fist of light

These strange explosions hit me
(Do you believe that I care?)
Like a fist of light
These strange explosions hit me
(Do you believe that I care?)
Like a fist of light
These strange explosions hit me
(Do you believe that I care?)
Like a fist of light
These strange explosions hit me…

The Weapons Are Concealed Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I'm wearing it.
I'm wearing it under my face.
An expression and an admission of my disgrace.
But I'm sure I will make it okay.
I'll try to give you something better.
I'm wearing it today.
But I'm sure I will make it okay.
I'll try to give you something better.

You with a grin on your face.
Me with a bag in its place.
I've put a rope round my neck.
I'm trying to win your respect.

Conceal the weapons!
Conceal the weapons!
Death shares everything I have.
Conceal the weapons!
Conceal the weapons!
But I hate the way I
Conceal the weapons!

Blame it on the staring match between the two of us.
Blame it on the staring match between the two of us

Pause It And Turn It Up Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

All I ask of you is to stick around
express the pain and your sadness
all I ask of you is to turn around
confess a system at work here
Wounds take time to heal
Wounds take time to heal
All I ask of you is to stick around
explain the art of your madness
all I ask is that you've learnt to turn around
confess the system at work here
Wounds take time to heal
Wounds take time to heal
Wounds take time to heal
Wounds take time to heal
I have an idea
about the voices I hear
Inaudible to everyone
everone but me
turn it off
turn it off
turn it off
turn it off
I have an idea
about the voices I hear
Inaudible to everyone
everyone but me
turn it off
All i ask of you
All i ask of you
turn it off
All i ask is you
All i ask is you
turn it off
I have an idea
about the voices i hear
Inaudible to everyone
everyone but me

Bodies In Flight Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

You're free to choose what we want you, feel free to do what we want to
When we collide, the air will rise, it's all that you will need it for before you go
When the day wears you, create simple lies, when the day wears you, be simple lies
Sleep well my dear, sleep well my dear, bodies in flight
You're free to choose what we want you, feel free to do what we want to
Slip in to your dreams, the air will crash, hovering in a perfect sphere, we'll watch you go
When the day wears you, create simple lies, when the day wears you, great simple lies
Sleep well my dear, sleep well my dear, bodies in flight, little or no movement
When you say love, I know that you mean hateful, boulders of spite ridden love decay
A mansion in an easy disguise of simple lies, boulders of spite ridden love decay

The Ideal Height Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

You've opened the door to reason, without invitation
Forget what you had, it's vanished - except for the minions
But we'll scratch away to find the ideal height
How well do you think that you know me? I'll tell you now, I didn't even mean it
Circumstance predicts I, slim the main
We hope that you don't remember instructions of heaven
Cos' everyone has a purpose, even the minions
But we'll scratch away to find the ideal height
How well do you think that you know me? I'll tell you now, I didn't even mean it
Circumstance depicts I, slim the main...make the strain go away!

With Aplomb Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Fix my new memory with a cold naked stare, chew up the words but with floods beware
Fondness can escalate beyond my repair, chance is the fiction will orchestrate despair
Again, these hands blow dry but I can handle it again, these words collide but I can handle
Happiness is coated in a mindless kicking, let's fall apart, get up high and leave
Again, these hands blow dry but I can handle it again, these words collide but I can handle
Kill your bizarre mindset, fuckhead, soldered to a three-layered concrete brainwave castration
Walking backwards home with you

A Day Of... Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I get my drugs from God oh yeah (oh yeah), you should see the shit he's got oh yeah (oh yeah)
And then it starts, a trip of a lifetime, our spaceship up against yours
A war on drugs would surely bring...
I get my drugs from God oh yeah, you should see how high I go oh yeah (oh yeah)
The 'shrooms kick off, the trip of a lifetime, when lovers see more clearly?
I'm sure we're on a ride to a day of love and religion!
I'm drifting in a blackness of ideas, colours, movements, kapow, kapow, kapow!
I'm drifting in a vacuum of ideas, colours, movements, kapow, kapow!

Liberate The Illiterate Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Don't be sad, keep smiling, leave this open to communicate
Lying there on the desk you left a letter, when I touched it, it shivered in my hand
I rub the surface to see your face in the mirror, translation lost me in a crowded room
Leave exposed the wounded, look down kids it starts to decompose
Looking for some meaning or recognition and your eyes are as blank as my hidden heart
I rub the surface to see your trace in the mirror, translation lost me in a crowded room
If you want to believe everything you say, it keeps you high and in control
What I can't understand is why you would want to give the impression of a young lost soul
In the end you lack a stance on important subjects that you've lost, it's like you're out of control
Then you turn round, my head cracks like it's for the millionth time again (Liberate the illiterate)
And you wanted to jump half a canyon, I'm at least a companion to it all (Liberate the illiterate)

Diary Of Always Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

(I just wish we all could betray)
I'm the one distinctly plain to you, for a solemn glance is another hopeful taste
Did you wish for your pain? Did you wish for your pain?
Wish I could have faltered, wish I could have changed
I'm the one distinctly plain to you, for a solemn glance is another hopeful taste

Questions And Answers Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Grab a handle, twist it 'til something drops
You're up when you're winning, you feel like your head's gone soft
Even though we spend our time without a chorus
Little twitches give him a special edge
You can't understand it, transparent and soft in the head
Even though we spend our time, now here's the chorus
You've got all these great answers to all these great questions
Take advantage of the sound, lean in to walls leading to minds
You've got all these great answers to all these great questions (Still I feel them passing me by)
You've got all these great answers to all these great questions (Try to understand)
