Lyrics

The machine outside the launderette
Is flashing Out of Order
The microwave blinks zeroes
Through another sleepless night
An apartment that's forgotten
What year it's living in

A silent skateboard
Rolls across the parking lot
Escaping the scene of a crime

They say that time heals
But who warns of the debris field

Is my life a real disaster movie
With a budget I can't afford
Clouds pile up like battleships
With no-one there on board
The world moved on without permission
As I stayed to guard the ammunition
And they say that time heals

Green water and empty glass
An apocalypse unfolding
Something died while I was away
Still sleeping in the wires
The shop's neon signs
Paint the pavement pink and blue
Like the credits of a film
That no-one would sit through
They say that time heals
But who warns of the debris field
Is my life a real disaster movie
With a budget I can't afford
Clouds pile up like battleships
With no-one there on board
The world moved on without permission
While I stayed to guard the ammunition
And they say that time heals

Climb the multi-storey
Just to watch the storm roll in
Lightning making silver scars
Across the dark sky's skin
For a second I could almost see
A version of us then
Like an alternate ending
Of what might have been

While the whole horizon burns
In a colour with no name
The ghosts of all our future plans
Like a knife inside my brain
Are wrapped up in that number
That I still can't delete
Is my life a real disaster movie
With a budget I can't afford
Clouds pile up like battleships
With no-one there on board
The world moved on without permission
While I stayed to guard the ammunition
And they say that time heals
The machine outside the laundrette
Is flashing Out of Order
Like it's trying to tell me something
That I already know
