Category: The Constant

Have you ever caught a smile
That you know you’d always love it
See, even if it vomits bile
See, you’d only miss it

It turns upside down and cries
And you just want to kiss it
I get the feeling from your eyes,
(no, no)
this time you won’t dismiss it

From a seven storey building
I think of you (Oh)
Obsessive minds like mine
Are speed dialing you
Fragments of your face
Race around my lonely place
And I jump for you

Got no time to waste
‘Cause there’s no smile here

‘Cause I promised I would constantly love you
Until the day I die
I promised I would constantly love you
Until the end of time
Promised I would constantly love you
Until the day I die
I promised I would constantly love you

I need you in sickness
I need you in health
I need you on my guest list
I need you by myself

So be afar forever
Baby boy, you’re mine
But nothing lasts forever
So instead I’ll take my life

Got no time to waste
‘Cause there’s no smile here
x2

‘Cause I promised I would constantly love you
Until the day I die
I promised I would constantly love you
Until the end of time
Promised I would constantly love you
Until the day I die
I promised I would constantly love you

I love you but there’s no smile here x3
I love you but there’s no smile

I love you but there’s no smile here x3
No smile tomorrow

‘Cause I promised I would constantly love you
Until the day I die
I promised I would constantly love you
Until the end of time
Promised I would constantly love you
Until the day I die
I promised I would constantly love you

I am the waste
And you shall be waiting here
You are the place
And you can place me anywhere
We’re on our way
We’re on our way away from here

But if we don’t stop now
Instead of living in this old horse town
I want it back in again
Let it devour my skin
But we won’t start now

If we could only be Quicker
And be quick to be kind
If we could only be faster
Then we could outsmart time

I am afraid
Afraid of losing time
You are the race
And I’ll be racing your mind

But if we don’t stop now
Instead of living in this old horse town
I want you back in again
Let you devour my skin
But we won’t start now

If we could only be Quicker
And be quick to be kind
If we could only be faster
Then we could outsmart time
x2

So hold me as I hold you
Hold me to the ground
Well I could be faster
And fast becomes the how

If you could only be Quicker
And be quick to be kind
If you could only be faster
Then you could outsmart time

If we could only be Quicker
And be quick to be kind
If we could only be faster
Then we could outsmart time

So hold me as I hold you
Hold me to the ground

Escaped, I hide behind myself
To take, the form of something else
A ghost, a thought
A bad school report, a shadow of remorse
An invisible force that is constantly forcing
This is the constant, the constant is calling

You said I’d never have a hold on you
But phantom hearts feel too
You said you’d never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see

I love, I love without compare
It’s just enough, to love something not there
One breath, I take
Two hearts, one face
We kiss, we fall
And with constant silence
Two phantoms are Born

You said I’d never have a hold on you
But phantom hearts feel too
You said you’d never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I’d never have a hold on you
But phantom hearts feel too
You said I’d never have a hold

Caught like two rabbits in a snare
Sheets are covered, skin is bare
I was broken you repaired my soul
Smoke fills the air
Are we there?

You said I’d never have a hold on you
But phantom hearts feel too
You said you’d never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I’d never have a hold on you
But phantom hearts feel too
You said I’d never have a hold

This is the constant,
the constant is calling
Become this monster
who’s constantly falling
What is this curse
That my heart is installing
Outside I’m content
yet inside I’m bawling
