Lyrics
Palladium
It is having to wait
In she comes to give us sound, teasing me, says it's only nothing
But there's something in the air that's telling me son, it's alright
Long rain comes, it's coming to wait
And its everyone's fault, you know it's too late
Yet it's all the same, and its everyone I see
There she was; she was heavy for all the ride
And she was making a long way home seem, oh just a little bit shorter
And all we had to do was run away to see
That there's nothing chasing anyone, besides the setting sun, and it's coming on in rays
Long rain comes, it's coming to wait
And its everyone's fault, you know its too late
Yet it's all the same, and its everyone I see
I can see the light, on this starry night
And your head's on fire and you're worried that your hands are tied, but they're not, they're just at your side
And all we had to do was run away to see
That there's nothing chasing you
Oh, no, time
Let them tell you want to, alright
Can not do it wrong, so go with it
It's so burnt already
And all we had to do was be
Tonight, and I will
Cause I'm just the latest son - outside the Palladium... We're gonna see the show
And all we had to do was run away to see
In she comes to give us sound, teasing me, says it's only nothing
But there's something in the air that's telling me son, it's alright
Long rain comes, it's coming to wait
And its everyone's fault, you know it's too late
Yet it's all the same, and its everyone I see
There she was; she was heavy for all the ride
And she was making a long way home seem, oh just a little bit shorter
And all we had to do was run away to see
That there's nothing chasing anyone, besides the setting sun, and it's coming on in rays
Long rain comes, it's coming to wait
And its everyone's fault, you know its too late
Yet it's all the same, and its everyone I see
I can see the light, on this starry night
And your head's on fire and you're worried that your hands are tied, but they're not, they're just at your side
And all we had to do was run away to see
That there's nothing chasing you
Oh, no, time
Let them tell you want to, alright
Can not do it wrong, so go with it
It's so burnt already
And all we had to do was be
Tonight, and I will
Cause I'm just the latest son - outside the Palladium... We're gonna see the show
And all we had to do was run away to see

Falling, Part 2
It was coffee for her- and tea for me
I'm an American man- she teaches chemistry
All of her life in Lancashire
It's just too many days- with too many tears
And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground
All in one night- our friends were there
They came one in the same- the came from everywhere
All of my life- I think I'm wasting time in too many ways
It's just too many days...
And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground
Oh and I think it's bringing me down, down, down, down, down
While my feet are touching the ground
And while their heads keep spinning around, round, round...
And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground
I'm an American man- she teaches chemistry
All of her life in Lancashire
It's just too many days- with too many tears
And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground
All in one night- our friends were there
They came one in the same- the came from everywhere
All of my life- I think I'm wasting time in too many ways
It's just too many days...
And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground
Oh and I think it's bringing me down, down, down, down, down
While my feet are touching the ground
And while their heads keep spinning around, round, round...
And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground

The Voice Beneath the Rubble
In silence, in sadness
The rescue wanes amidst the madness
Distress call, faint signal
Inside white noise intermingled
It slowly degrades, lost in the storm
In bedrooms, by firelight
Debate who will make it through the night
A pulse in your cells calling from home
Barricades long-wasted
Feel all their hearts breaking
The broadcasts and the networks
All sadly agreed that they feared the worst
All lost in a hell so far from home
In panic, and in horror
10 million strong thrown into disorder
Its all in your hands... fly toward the sun
Barricades long-wasted
Feel all their hearts breaking
Can't see the light any more.
The rescue wanes amidst the madness
Distress call, faint signal
Inside white noise intermingled
It slowly degrades, lost in the storm
In bedrooms, by firelight
Debate who will make it through the night
A pulse in your cells calling from home
Barricades long-wasted
Feel all their hearts breaking
The broadcasts and the networks
All sadly agreed that they feared the worst
All lost in a hell so far from home
In panic, and in horror
10 million strong thrown into disorder
Its all in your hands... fly toward the sun
Barricades long-wasted
Feel all their hearts breaking
Can't see the light any more.

Three, Two, of One
Waiting, and looking, and falling, and seeing
And finding, and taking, and knowing, and dreaming
7... 6... 5... 4...
Waiting, and looking, and falling, and seeing
And finding, and taking, and knowing, and dreaming
3... 2... of 1
Oh and I know I know... but its just so hard to explain...
It's the art in your chemistry
Daily glimpse of the in-between
With you now as it's always been
In empty houses and Eva's grin
More of you than your given name
Still it slips past your higher brain.
It's the one thing that stays the same
It's your right, it's your age, its the things that you want
When its here and its clear that we all turn to dust
Still you fear and you fear that its already done.
Your solution to vanity
In a face that you've never seen
An impossible memory
From the lifetimes of in-between
It's the words you could never say
As they slip past another day
It's the one thing that stays the same
It's your right, it's your age, it's the places you love
When it's here and it's clear that we all turn to dust
Still you fear and you fear that it's already done.
And finding, and taking, and knowing, and dreaming
7... 6... 5... 4...
Waiting, and looking, and falling, and seeing
And finding, and taking, and knowing, and dreaming
3... 2... of 1
Oh and I know I know... but its just so hard to explain...
It's the art in your chemistry
Daily glimpse of the in-between
With you now as it's always been
In empty houses and Eva's grin
More of you than your given name
Still it slips past your higher brain.
It's the one thing that stays the same
It's your right, it's your age, its the things that you want
When its here and its clear that we all turn to dust
Still you fear and you fear that its already done.
Your solution to vanity
In a face that you've never seen
An impossible memory
From the lifetimes of in-between
It's the words you could never say
As they slip past another day
It's the one thing that stays the same
It's your right, it's your age, it's the places you love
When it's here and it's clear that we all turn to dust
Still you fear and you fear that it's already done.

My Constitution
This is my Constitution
I wrote it on my hands and knees,
While you were waiting by your car
There is no end solution
There's just pollution in my brain,
That makes it hard to carry on
And I believe it's true
Yes, I believe it's true
There is no inspiration
Asphyxiated in a cave-in,
Dying, choking on the smoke
This is our shared condition
Together waiting one and all,
As we were falling to this world
And I believe it's true
Yes, I believe it's true
I wrote it on my hands and knees,
While you were waiting by your car
There is no end solution
There's just pollution in my brain,
That makes it hard to carry on
And I believe it's true
Yes, I believe it's true
There is no inspiration
Asphyxiated in a cave-in,
Dying, choking on the smoke
This is our shared condition
Together waiting one and all,
As we were falling to this world
And I believe it's true
Yes, I believe it's true
