Opposites: The Sand At The Core Of Our Bones (2013)












Different People lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Baby when you hold me
I can feel so wrong
You're trying to console me
Your chance has long gone
So baby won't you take my hand?
So we can do what the others can
We are alive tonight, we are alive tonight

I am going home forever and ever more
No I was never born and there's no such thing as home
We used to stand so strong
That's why the others have gone

Different person, different argument
In my shadow, no more compliments
One more person breaking the rules again
I'm still waiting for someone else to join in

Stand where the others stand
We're alive tonight
Land where the others land
We're alive tonight

I am going home forever and ever more
No I was never born and there's no such thing as home
We used to stand so strong
That's why the others have gone

Scintillating and inspirational conversation
Death to everyone
Little purpose, little consequence
Too combative, too cool to realise

Different person, different argument
In my shadow, no more compliments
One more person breaking the rules again
I'm still waiting for someone else to join in

Stand where the others stand
We're alive tonight

I am going home forever and ever more
No I was never born and there's no such thing as home
We used to stand so strong
That's why the others have gone

Black Chandelier lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip, drip

I shouldn't laugh but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
I know it's daft but I guess that I know it deep inside
It feels like we're ready to crack these days, you and I
When it's just the two of us, only the two of us, I could die

You left my heart like an abandoned car
Old and worn out, no use at all
But I used to be free

We're gonna separate ourselves tonight
We're always running scared but holding knives
But there's a black chandelier
It's casting shadows and lies

Drip, drip, drip, drip

I'll sit in silence for the rest of my life if you'd like
Dressing our wounds with industrial gloves made of wire
Feel it penetrating the skin, we begin to relax
When it's just the two of us, and a cute little cup of cyanide

You left my heart like an abandoned car
Old and worn out, no use at all
But I used to be free

We're gonna separate ourselves tonight
We're always running scared but holding knives
But there's a black chandelier
It's casting shadows and lies

We're gonna separate ourselves tonight
We're always running scared but holding knives
But there's a black chandelier

You left my heart like an abandoned car
Old and worn out, no use at all
But I used to be free

We're gonna separate ourselves tonight
We're always running scared but holding knives
But there's a black chandelier
It's casting shadows and lies

We're gonna separate ourselves tonight
We're always running scared but holding knives
But there's a black chandelier

Sounds Like Balloons lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Ancient Rome, we built that fucker stone by stone
Our fingers bled, our feet were worn
But we stood strong and carried on

Come on in, do you want to touch my bulbous head?
With features wrapped and stretched to death
A tiny nose is all that's left

This is not for your entertainment

The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on and on
The sand at the core of our bones, it blows on and on and on and on
The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on and on
The sand at the core of our bones continues on

The basement's gone, it seems they dug up all our land
The world was lowered man by man,
Let's move the sky and not join hands

Ancient Rome, we built that fucker stone by stone
Our fingers bled, our feet were worn
But we stood strong and carried on

This is not for your entertainment

The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on and on
The sand at the core of our bones, it blows on and on and on and on
The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on and on
The sand at the core of our bones continues on

Life still sounds like balloons
You chew and you chew and chew
Your teeth crumble to the floor
It's where they lay, it's where they lay
Our past never really dies
I don't think we even try
There's no difference from
Where we wake or where we die

Balloons, balloons, balloons

The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on and on
The sand at the core of our bones, it blows on and on and on and on
The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on and on
The sand at the core of our bones continues on

Opposite lyrics - Biffy Clyro

You are the loneliest person that I've ever known
We are joined at the surface but nowhere else

I look in the glass and stare at your strained, grey,
Motionless face and ask
Underneath, is there a golden soul?

Take care of the ones that you love
Take care of the ones that you love

Baby I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds?

Everyone is beginning to breathe as I break down
You are in love with a shadow that won't come back

Sooner or later, we all have to wake
And try forgetting everything
Underneath, there's a perfect sky

Baby I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds and feelings?
[x3]

Baby I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds?

The Joke's On Us lyrics - Biffy Clyro

What's that sound? It's the sound of the truth in us
Reaching highs that we won't in the future
You can't say I didn't warn ya
It makes me wanna scream
Let's create our own fire
Rainbows in the shape of a girl

Take whatever you want from us
What are you staring at?
Is it our souls?

We embrace all the violence
With a small dose of happiness
Is it us?

Are we alive because God saved us
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Are we alive because God tricked us
And this is all just a joke on us?

Stab my heart it won't stop beating on
Cage my mind it won't stop tripping in
You can't say I didn't warn ya
It makes me wanna cream
Let's move to California
Find ourselves a whole new world

We embrace all the violence
With a small dose of happiness
Is it us?

Are we alive because God saved us
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Are we alive because God tricked us
And this is all just a joke on us?

I want to take it back, I want to take it back
I want to live in the dark, I want to live in the dark
I'm in love with somebody else
I'm in love with somebody else
I'm in love with somebody else
I'm in love with somebody else

Are we alive because God saved us
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Are we alive because God tricked us
And this is all just a joke on us?

Biblical lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?

Play another song here, then you can leave
With your delicate wings, I used to weave
Maybe there's an undertow here
Or maybe this is stuck up in the air
I know how it looks but all that glitters ain't gold

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you
Of what's understandable
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left
Or the right but not central 'cause
[x2]

You gave me magical
I gave you wonderful
Let's make this biblical
And hang from our invisible cords

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?

It could have been a wonderful year
Instead we might not make it to the end
Everybody cares, but nobody knows

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you
Of what's understandable
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left
Or the right but not central 'cause
[x2]

You gave me magical
I gave you wonderful
Let's make this biblical
And hang from our invisible cords
[x2]

Baby how can you walk away? [x8]

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?

A Girl And His Cat lyrics - Biffy Clyro

I never have fun but I wouldn't say no
I guess that's my prerogative
I'll never give up and I'll never look down
That would be the end of it

Look at me now screaming up and down
With huge degrees of lethargy
Some may say that I'm lying down
That don't mean a fuck to me

I should remove you all, nothing ventured, nothing maimed
Hang on your suffering wall to decompose and rearrange
Sit tight with your lonely rose, beauty is the death of pain
Don't see it coming at all, so we control and we contain

This is what you wanted to be
This is what you wanted

This is your house, this is not your home
I don't know if we're ever gonna belong
You can build a house but not a home
It will always stand on shaky ground

I wanna play dumb but I can't let go
Of my responsibilities
Why have one? You can take all ten
I bet that's not enough for you

I should remove you all, nothing ventured, nothing maimed
Hang on your suffering wall to decompose and rearrange

This is what you wanted to be
This is what you wanted

This is your house, this is not your home
I don't know if we're ever gonna belong
You can build a house but not a home
It will always stand on shaky ground

We are looking for love
But you're baying for blood
[x2]

This is what you wanted to be
This is what you wanted

The Fog lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Baby come down to the bottom of the stairs
There's a reflection I want you to see
Our history and loneliness has defeated our devices

Lady come down, it's time to stop and stare
There's a successor I want you to meet
His misery and loneliness have exceeded expectations
But still we fall down

Look at the stars, they're getting younger
Look at your pain, you're getting older
Not feeling right but always hoping for more

I'm gonna tumble to the centre of the square
There's a triangle I wanted to see
The fog has cast a shadow homeward
We're losing our direction
So forget the whole thing

Look at the stars, they're getting younger
Look at your pain, you're getting older
Not feeling right but always hoping for more

Little Hospitals lyrics - Biffy Clyro

I'll turn your baby into lemonade
Suckle lemons and trade, trade, trade
Play along in your silver dress
We'll save souls and we'll break bread

All cows shit and angels too
Look around it's the bestest view
Did you think before you spoke aloud?
Your fucking tongue it will do you proud

You seek my cover
Where you go I'll follow on
You never can get enough
We just need to survive
If we're ever gonna dream again

I feel sad as we penetrate
Unbuckle buttons and slave, slave, slave
We attack like civil unrest
No home equals no dread

All cows shit and angels too
Look around it's the bestest view
Did you think before you spoke aloud?
Your fucking tongue it will do you proud

You seek my cover
Where you go I'll follow on
You never can get enough
We just need to survive
If we're ever gonna dream again
Ever gonna dream again

We are individuals in our little rituals
Hospitals, memorials, smaller than disease
Rituals and burials are distant used memories

When you leave
When you leave I doubt I'll remember you
[x4]

The Thaw lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Tonight we're gonna share the same space
To see what will become of it
Forgive me if my mouth is dry
I'll blame it on my battle cry

The secrets in the snow
Will always come out in the thaw
All those terrible things,
Can't you entertain us all?

Tonight we're gonna share the same space
Just if you invite me in
Forget it cause you should have tried
How are you unsatisfied?

The secrets in the snow
Will always come out in the thaw
All those terrible things,
Can't you entertain us all?

You could have taken it all
But you should have asked
I would give you my tongue
Or my dying breath
Please believe in me like I believe in you
It's the only thing to see us through
[x2]

The only thing to see us through [x4]

Tonight we have all shared the same space
Has anything become of it?

Drown In A Natural Light lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Did you know
It's like water
Pain on
Your daughter

Contradictions rule the world and are made in a natural light
It's made in a natural light
Contradictions rule the world and are made in a natural light
It's made in a natural light

Did you know
It's like water
Pain on
Your daughter

Contradictions rule the world
If it's made in a natural light
If it's made in a natural light
Contradictions rule the world
If it's made in a natural light
If it's made in a natural light

Ooh ooh
Drown a woman in natural light
Drown a woman in natural light
Ooh ooh
Drown a woman in natural light
Drown a woman in natural light

The light and I am dying
But it's the most I've ever lived
This light and I am trying
It's the most I've ever lived

Gently lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Spinning around an open space
Until our heads forget the ride
Feel like I can, feel like I can
Once again we rise from the grave
In the street wide open
Space between the stars and the end
Let's embrace this moment
And it's the end of something new
You'll be there
Our hearts collide
From something new
You'll be there
But it's the end of something

Spinning around an open space
Until our heads forget the ride
Feel like I can, feel like I am
Feel like I can

Even if the stars fall on me

My heart is yearning for
My heart, my heart is yearning for
My heart, my heart is yearning for my heart
My heart is yearning for my heart

Is yearning for my heart

Hawkwind lyrics - Biffy Clyro

The ladder's gone, so we can't climb the Parthenon
Speak the language but no one's home, no one's home

When, Hands, Raise, it kills the fever
And, we can raise forever

Those who call, reclaim hearts from golden jars
Betray thanks through guided charm, guilded charm

When, Hands, Raise, it kills the fever
And, we can raise forever

Can we listen to Hawkwind now?
Sleep holds no fortune only frowns
Should the sorrow erase you
It was all in your name, Sue
Let's just listen to Hawkwind now

When, Hands, Raise, it kills the fever
And, we can raise forever

Can we listen to Hawkwind now?
Sleep holds no fortune only frowns
Should the sorrow erase you
It was all in your name, Sue
Let's just listen to Hawkwind now

Holier Than Thou lyrics - Biffy Clyro

(originally by Metallica)

No more
The crap rolls out of your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead?

Who are you? Where you been? Where you from?
Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much, you believe yourself
Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You are
You know not

Before you judge me, take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do?
Burn your bridges, build them back with wealth
Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You are
You know not

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
Thou

It's Always The Quiet Ones lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Embrace me
Throw your arms around me
Let's pretend our troubles make us happy
Let's make-believe
Let's make-believe

It's raining knives and daggers
Run for your life

Slaughter me
Throw your claws around me
It certainly won't make us happy
Let's make-believe
Let's make-believe

It's raining knives and daggers
Run for your life
Take the right step
Take the right step
Take the right step

It's raining knives and daggers
Run for your life
Take the right step
Take the right step
Take the right step or you'll die

Take the right step
Take the right step
Take the right step or you'll die

Take the right step

Kittens, Cakes And Cuddles lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Heard you next door
It sounded like laughing
You've got very well
I knew it was screaming
Our own living girl
I hope will get through it and smile again

Stare at the girl
In the room she is singing
Song with a curse
Her pinkies are missing
What a wonderful voice
She'll change on the outside with surgery

Every now and then
A rain will fall in
Will melt the loneliness in your heart
Every now and then
A rain will fall in
Will melt the loneliness in your...

We'll bury them
We'll bury them
You'll never know the way I feel
Someone says
Let's see their death
You'll never know just how it feels
Tonight I've reached my darkest moment
But I feel like I'm you

Every now and then
A rain will fall in
Will melt the loneliness in your heart
Every now and then
A rain will fall in
Will melt the loneliness in your heart
Every now and then
(Something to save)
A rain will fall in
(Something to save)
Will melt the loneliness in your heart
(Something to save, Something to save)
Every now and then
(Something to save)
A rain will fall in
(Something to save)
Will melt the loneliness in your heart
(Something to save, Something to save)

Loneliness lyrics - Biffy Clyro

I have a flavor tonight
But the world still swings from the trees
I have a secret to tell
Shit looks like chocolate to me
Now I'm only hiding alone

I have a flavor tonight
If you want, you can try it right
Now if you think that you can
I don't rate your chance anyway
Now I'm only hiding...

Best not to leave me alone
For you and for everyone
When the laughter died
I split my sides
Now look who's laughing
Can you see who's laughing now

My girl is looking so good
Compared with how I want her to
I look like shit, it's been said
You're wrong again

Best not to leave me alone
For you and for everyone
When the laughter died
I split my sides
Now look who's laughing
Can you see who's laughing

Best not to leave me alone
For you and for everyone
When the laughter died
I split my sides
Now look who's laughing
Can you see who's laughing now

Modern Love lyrics - Biffy Clyro

(originally by David Bowie)

I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done

I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But never wave bye-bye

But I try
I try

Modern love walks beside
Modern love walks on by
Modern love gets me to the church on time

Church on time terrifies
Church on time makes me party
Church on time puts my trust in
(God and man)
(God and man)

It's not really work, it's just the power to charm
Still standing in the wind
But never wave bye-bye

But I try
I try

Modern love walks beside
Modern love walks on by
Modern love gets me to the church on time

Church on time terrifies
Church on time makes me party
Church on time puts my trust in God and man

God and man no confessions
God and man no religion
God and man don't believe in modern love

Modern love walks beside
Modern love walks on by
Modern love gets me to the church on time

Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love

Once An Empire lyrics - Biffy Clyro

I wouldn't want to get fucked by
A kangaroo in any position
We need to block it block it it's spongy
Your savior's only picking on you

You've got your foot half way up your dick
I bet you ten pounds it wouldn't fit
I was wrong so you must be rich

The poor girl once an empire
The poor girl once an empire
She lacks some fluid motion
All her circles came in squares
No community
No community
You're one of a kind, one of a kind sister
Let's break that spell tonight

I paint my thoughts with a hairbrush
Jet black is a delicate operation
My mirror reflects all it sees
Coming at the end of my empire

You've got your foot half way up your dick
I bet you ten pounds it wouldn't fit
I was wrong so you must be rich

The poor girl once an empire
The poor girl once an empire
She lacks some fluid motion
All her circles came in squares
No community
No community
You're one of a kind one of a kind sister
Let's break that spell tonight
Tonight

The poor girl once an empire
The poor girl once an empire
She lacks some fluid motion
All her circles came in squares
No community
No community
You're one of a kind one of a kind sister
Let's break that spell tonight

Paperfriend lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Avert your eyes from the empty chamber, the
Gun's in my mouth but it just doesn't feel like home
Feel like home
Equip your life with a human blender, son
If things are sane, make a rage about being alone
Being alone

Home
Want to remember home
Home

How long since you called me
How long since you've tried
To help me through this nightmare, make it to the other side
And how long since you cared for
Anyone except yourself
Well help me through this nightmare, make it as somebody else

Everyone's crying and I can't remember her
Which days are real and which ones are set in stone
Set in stone
Avert your eyes from the empty chamber, the
Gun's in my mouth and it's gonna start feeling like home
Feels like home

How long since you called me
How long since you've tried
To help me through this nightmare, make it to the other side
How long since you cared for
Anyone except yourself
Well help me through this nightmare, make it as somebody else

How long since you called
And how long since you've tried
To help me through this nightmare, make it to the other side
And how long since you cared for
Anyone except yourself
Well help me through this nightmare, make it as somebody else

Solitary night
Just TV to hold my hand
Let's throw death away
Let's throw death away

Solitary life
Though you were sitting by my side
Let's throw death away
Let's throw death away

Robbery lyrics - Biffy Clyro

Baby's got crabs, and
All their tiny arms are different
Baby is a tramp so,
Maybe she's an asshole

Keep on riding, medium ride
Tonight we'll be making enemies
Tonight we'll be making
A little love

Keeps me comforted, comforted
Although I'm not
A little love
Keeps me comforted, comforted
Although I'm not

Baby's got 'tude
She doesn't know much but she knows the difference
A finger in the asshole
Will maybe raise a smile so

Keep on riding, medium ride
Tonight we'll be mating enemies
Tonight we'll be making
A little love

Keeps me comforted, comforted
Although I'm not
A little love
Keeps me comforted, comforted
Although I'm not

A robbery, a robbery
I am a fucking robbery
A robbery, a robbery
I am a fucking robbery
A robbery, a robbery
I am a fucking robbery
A robbery, a robbery
I am a fucking robbery
Uh-huh

Rock Machines lyrics - Biffy Clyro

I saw the boys with compatible toys looking tired
They had a right it was cold it was dry everywhere
It's not what it seems, in his jeans is a piece of a candle
The one you had used to burn me a new pair of eyes

I'm not savouring my heart
I'm not savouring my life
Take the pieces and build them skyward
I've forgotten how good it could be
To feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skyward

I saw the boys with compatible toys looking tired
They had a right it was cold it was dry everywhere
Its not what it seems in his jeans is a piece of a candle
The one you had used to burn me a new pair of eyes

I'm not savouring my heart
I'm not savouring my life
Take the pieces and build them skyward
I've forgotten how good it can be
To feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skyward

I'm not savouring my heart
I'm not savouring my life
Take the pieces and build them skyward
I've forgotten how good it could be
To feel alive
Take the pieces and build them skyward

They're all machines
They're all machines

They're all machines (and they're nothing like us)
They're all machines (but they're starting to know)
They're all machines (And they know where we are)

Sad Sad Songs lyrics - Biffy Clyro

I only listen to sad sad songs
I only play in the summer.
I only think about what's gone wrong.

Time escapes
You don't.

I watch your daughters ignore all lies
I find my wait out the tunnel
My teeth are trippin, my feet are cold

Rise alone
Die alone

We'll take a bite
We'll take a bite
turn this all around
that's what my father told me
that's what my father told me
I can't stand it
livin' on the frontline
baby feel stranded
standing my last sight

your indecisions is like a ball
on holiday in the summer
your tension's rising it can't go wrong

Dynamite breaks
Time won't.

I watch your daughters ignore all lies
I find my wait out the tunnel
My teeth are trippin, my feet are cold

Rise alone
Die alone

We'll take a bite
We'll take a bite
turn this all around
that's what my father told me
that's what my father told me
I can't stand it
livin' on the frontline
baby feel shiny
standing my last sight

I believe it when you say
you'll turn this all around
I believe it when you say
you'll turn this all around

I can't stand it
livin' on the frontline
baby feel shiny
standing my last sight

The Modern Leper lyrics - Biffy Clyro

(originally by Frightened Rabbit)

A cripple walks amongst you, all you tired human beings
He's got all the things a cripple has not, two working arms and legs
And vital parts fall from his system and dissolve in Scottish rain
Vitally, he doesn't miss them; he's too fucked up to care

Is that you in front of me?
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
You must be a masochist to love a modern leper on his last leg
On his last leg

I crippled your heart a hundred times and still can't work out why
You see, I've got this disease that I can't shake and I'm just rattling through life
Well this is how we do things now, yeah this is how the modern stay scared
So I cut out all the good stuff, yeah I cut off my foot to spite my leg

Is that you in front of me?
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
You must be a masochist to love a modern leper on his last leg
Well I am ill but I'm not dead
And I don't know which of those I prefer
Because that limb which I have lost
It was the only thing holding me up
Holding me up

Well I'm lying on the ground now and you're walking through the only door
Well I have lost my eyesight like I said I would but I still know

That is you in front of me
And you are back for even more of exactly the same
Well are you a masochist to love a modern leper on his last leg?
And you're not ill and I'm not dead
Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?
Just you and me, we'll start again
And you can tell me all about what you did today
What you did today

Time Jazz lyrics - Biffy Clyro

I've had a happy life, at least that's what I'll say
Confusion is my only vice
it makes me concentrate

It's fine, there's a throbbing in my shoulder
It's fine, don't think it's getting bigger
It's fine, I'll dig it out to ease the pain
I can't face final fortunes ever again

Time jazz confronts us all
Look how big, now look how small
Crazy shaved, a circle pit
Then drew it on a mine, now done
Time jazz, kaleidoscopes
frog hands tied up now

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

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)

Eradicate The Doubt Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

You are the summer, I'll feel forever, I'll bleed forever
You think you are the greatest, I'll feel forever, I'll bleed forever
Think that the circus is friendly it's more like a mutual interest in a nosebleed, think again
Scared of the now, take all the air, look out dear, stick up kid, take all the air
I'll bleed forever, I'll bleed forever, I'll feel forever, I'll bleed forever
A-list with an alias, eradicate the doubt
Tackle heat it's in a cool cold slipstream that you will not find
Caught in a high speed hateful procedure
Scared of the now, take all the air, look out dear, stick up kid, take all the air
Sometimes, you'll dare to become forever and provoke the fear inside you, awaken
Take me to your heart, take me to your heart

When The Faction's Fractioned Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Today's a blur, little baby, been up for days, waking up, waking up
Devised a plan, little darling, to split the sky, fade away, fade away
The time is running out, the time is running out
We'll fade away little baby, make no mistake, to half as much, half as much
The time is running out, the time is running, the water's running out, the water's running
The girl is running out, the girl is running, the girl is running out again
We can leave this faction and start our own, no-one will take it over, no-one
Start our own and show them backward to the sea

Toys Toys Toys Choke Toys Toys Toys Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Would you change, I have, fallen in love with you, anyway
(We suffer, we suffer, I suffer, we suffer, you'll suffer now)
Have a dance, I will easily lose it anyway
(We're dancing, we're dancing, I'm dancing, we're dancing, your dancing now)
Love makes some things taste good not all just you I love your style you hate my lies
In time always you suffer
In the shadows of your eyes you look like God, I will be right here
When your life's been shattered, embrace your emotion, I will be right
If even the stars, fall from your eyes, revolve as they burn in the night
Reach with your mind, never goodbye, take me away from you all
Winter's long dance, lovely construction, it's all a part of you now
Watch it implode your ghostly possession will always possess you
Infinity lies! Save yourself!

All The Way Down; Prologue, Chapter 1 Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Taking part's what counts, but you were not around,
never understand my goals for you
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life, I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
You'll never understand my hopes for you
Sleeveless in miniature, monster overture, never be complete unless you know
Looking back, seems that everyone in my life will be waiting for me
I will be waiting for you until the evidence conveys another side
Have you found your way home? Have you found your way? I feel wondrous, controlling me seems like a good idea
I'll do my best to uphold you, but I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes, but I feel you now
I feel wondrous and holy and I know it's all right
I'll do my best to uphold you and I know that in the night
Ever wonder if it's forever, the moment passes,
but I feel you now, all the way down
So I'll try not to breathe as I hold my head still,
the light bends on my face, there'd be tears if I cried
And I'll try not to think what the happy things were
I just think of the stuff that just made me shit scared
And I'll just close my eyes and I'll see everyone
that I'm leaving behind for the dawn of the sun
And I'll try not to feel, yes I'll try not to feel,
and I'll try not to feel on the way down

A Man Of His Appalling Posture Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Conglomerate inspection, we'll breed that infection, release it to the world
We'll blame it on the girls, we'll blame it on the boys, again, again, again, again
Taste the infection and tolerate rejection, we'll feed it to the world
We'll blame it on the girls, we'll blame it on the boys, again, again, again
Then you try and you're faking it, open up cos' you're faking it
But in time everyone, and they'll know, goddamn you'll know
Feels like everything's a farce, take it on your head
When you're faking it, open up cos' you're faking it
Wait for a time, everyone, you'll know, Goddamn you'll know!
Feels like everything's a farce, take it on your head

And Now The Action Is On Fire Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I'm cagey about stories involving time, it's like I'm slowly burning, breathing crimes
This is all right, burn the action now, tell me how you feel, burn the action now
Rotations take hold, clear but filthy cries
This is all right, burn the action now, tell me how you feel,
burn the action now...this is all right, all right
When the inner energy pollutes my soul with selfish needs
and small conspiracies unique from loyalty
And over and over and over and over and take all I have
and under and under and under and under and
Could you make it any easier so we can set this on fire
This is all I have and over and over and over and over and, take all I have
And under and under and under and under and
And over and over and over and over and take all I have to decide and all I have
We'll change the world how we want to, we'll change the world inside you
You changed the world, you changed the world,
burn the action, burn the action, burn the action now!

Ewan's True Mental You Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Can't help seeing what I have with the non stop bickering involved
Believe in what you know, no we'll never separate
Can't fail seeing what I have with the non stop bickering involved
Believe in what you know, no we'll never separate
Can't help being warm no you can't help being warm

"Blackened Sky" (2002)

Joy. Discovery. Invention Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

Look at slow motion, asleep at the door
Next to destruction, reach for the sores

Get up, get up, get over, take me to your blackened sky
Get up, get up, get over, take me to your blackened sky

Sink with your wasted dreams when you can
Find time to console them, become what I am
If you submit to all the hopes you've made
Down, through your heart

Get up, get up, get over, take me to your blackened sky
Get up, get up, get over, take me to your blackened sky

Passed away, I hope you don't mind, what's a little sin to see us through

If you want it, get it, go and break my heart, take me to your blackened sky
If you want it, get it, go and break my heart, take me to your blackened sky

Passed away, I hope you don't mind, what's a little sin, to see us through
If you wanna get it, come and break my heart, take me to your blackened sky

27 Lyrics – Biffy Clyro

I stroke your silken skin, kiss you goodbye, your eyes just pierce me through
I am bleeding with blood I'd give to you, to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted

We sat and watched the sun go down
We wrapped together in each other's arms
Never felt so complete as when we're alone on the sand at night

I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted

I love the way your hair hangs over your eyes, crush me with your stare
If I could fly to you I would to be the way we were
I still feel the pain in my heart, thoughts once pure are now diluted
It's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now
