Working Backwards
02:36
|

Wake up, get up, try to make it through the day.
Smile, pretend everything's okay.
It's fine, at least you're getting paid.
Tomorrow, you'll have to do it all again.
It's only for the next thirty years.
What should you really get out of this?
Is there somewhere else that you'd rather be?
Isn't this what life's supposed to be?
We've been doing this all wrong.
We've been working backwards for far too long.
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work any more.
Dress up, turn up, do your best to look engaged.
Commit. Don't let the sadness reach your face.
Produce. That's why you're being paid.
Progress, to make you feel like you have a say.
Don't question why you do what you do.
It's better that you don't think this through.
'Cause one day you'll look back on your life
And realise it passed you by.
We've been doing this all wrong.
We've been working backwards for far too long.
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work any more.
That's no way to live.
You can't just exist.
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work any more.
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work
I don't want to live to work any more.

Atlas

I'll hold up the sky
And bring the stars close to you
So you can live your life.
I'll hold up the sky
And bring the heavens into view
Just promise me you'll live your life.
There's always time to make things right
The past can't be re-written, the ink's already dry
We'll stare straight through these pages, but re-read every word
To learn from the mistakes and to break this curse
There's no way to turn off the page that led us here
So just keep reading and the ending will become clear
I'll hold up the sky
And bring the stars close to you
So you can live your life.
I'll hold up the sky
And bring the heavens into view
Just promise me you'll live your life.
There's a storm that threatens to break, to erupt
And as the sky darkens, and the lightning lights us up
You may see me struggle, but I'll stand here forever
I'll hold this weight gladly, it's as light as a feather
'Cause I do it for you
I just hope it's enough
I'll hold up the sky
And bring the stars close to you
So you can live your life.
I'll hold up the sky
And bring the heavens into view
Just promise to live your life
Just promise to live your life
Just promise me you'll live your life.
Just promise me that
You will live every day like it's your last one
Like this might be the last breath that you take
That you will live every day like the sun will never set
Make the most of every minute and have no regrets
I'll hold up the sky
And bring the stars close to you

Bad News
02:46

You can hide
You can keep yourself safe
You can lock the door and throw away the key
But the thing that you're hiding from
Will always find you eventually
So you might as well accept your fate
'Cause it's coming for you anyway
If that's what you're worried about
I've got bad news for you
If that's what you're worried about
Well there's nothing that you can do
I wouldn't call what you're doing living
So are you going to seize the day
Or let the seconds slip away
If that's what you're worried about
Well I've got bad news for you
If that's what you're worried about
Well there's nothing that you can do
I'm sorry, but I've got bad news for you
There's nothing you can do
Oh yeah
I'm so sorry to see you in this state
Don't let it slip away

Chase the Horizon
03:12
|

Remember how it felt when we would roam the streets?
No cares about tomorrow, just innocent and free.
What happened to those days? We let them slip away.
And now we're trying to break free.
So just drive, and keep on driving.
You've got to chase that horizon.
They always used to ask, what do you want to be
when you're older? But they were focusing on all the wrong things.
We always wanted to feel young. We always wanted to have fun.
We always wanted to escape and see the world.
So just drive, and keep on driving.
You've got to chase that horizon.
Be young as long as you want to be.
Have fun, don't take it seriously.
How long we've got is just a matter of time.
How free we are is up to you to decide.
So just drive, and keep on driving.
So just drive, and keep on driving.
You've got to chase that horizon.
Drive, and keep on driving.
Chase that horizon.

I have walked
For miles around these streets where I have lived
And never really seen
But now I look
Again but with the attention it deserves
And suddenly it's clear
So now I see
Everything you should be
You deserve so much more than this
You deserve to be seen
Many years of progress at the expense of history
Until the beauty can't be seen
Vanity, and the legacy of the men at county hall
Will be the pride before our fall
So now I see
Everything you should be
You deserve so much more than this
You deserve to be seen
I drew back the curtain
And I looked beyond the surface
I stripped back the judgement
And found a place that I fell in love with
I found a place that I fell in love with
I found a place that I fell in love with
I found a place that I fell in love with
I found a place
So now I see
Everything you should be
You deserve so much more than this
You deserve to be seen
I found a place that I fell in love with
I found a place that I fell in love with
I found a place that I fell in love with
I found a place that I fell in love with

The life you knew before
Doesn't exist anymore
It's not the end of the world
It's just the end of our world
We don't have time for tears
Just need to get out of here
Fear will keep us alive
Keep moving and we'll survive
'Cause there's no going back now
No no no
Don't look back
There's nothing left to see
Don't look back
Just take my hand
And fix your eyes on me
It's not the end of the road
Control what you can control
What lies ahead I'm not sure
You watch my back I'll watch yours
This is what our life looks like now
Don't look back
There's nothing left to see
Don't look back
Just take my hand
And fix your eyes on me
The life you had before
Doesn't exist anymore
We don't have time to mourn
Material losses
Never relax again
'Cause threats are everywhere
You'll learn to trust your instincts
Or you won't last long
So do you trust your instincts?
Can you hold it together?
'Cause it's the end of the world
And it's not getting better
Don't look back
There's nothing left to see
Don't look back
Just take my hand
And fix your eyes on me

Too Late
02:42
|

|
You said that we were crazy
When we tried to warn you at first
You said that we were lying
When we told you it was getting worse
But now you're getting worried
'Cause you've seen what's going on
But the time has come and gone
It's too late
They're already here among us
They look like you and me
Too late
They've already taken over
It's been too late for years
There have always been the sightings
Flashing lights in the sky
Though they tried to dismiss it
Deniers couldn't explain why
We don't know why they are here
But we have reason to fear
A reckoning is near
It's too late
They're already here among us
They look like you and me
Too late
They've already taken over
It's been too late for years
They used our satellites against us
To infiltrate us
They're among us
They're beyond us
And there's nothing we can do
It's too late
It's too late
They're already here among us
They look like you and me
Too late
They've already taken over
It's too late
It's far too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
