The Getaway Plan 2004-2009 Lyrics
1.A Toast To The Burning Estate

They'll take you by the hand.
And bring you to your knees.
The infected scene.

Crashing kerosene waves
into a sea of fire.
Detrimental flames.

You won't be getting out of here too soon.
Surrender all your assets it's your turn.
Where are your friend's now'
Threaten yourself, to try to please the crowd
because they want it more than you.

Stuck behind a plaque.
Descending mass.
Potential death.

When will we rise'
Because you're never coming back;
no, not again.

You won't be getting out of here too soon.
Surrender all your assets it's your turn.
Where are your friend's now'
Threaten yourself, to try to please the crowd
because they want it more than you.

Please, leave me breathless through this
Please, leave me breathless through this

You won't be getting out of here too soon.
Surrender all your assets it's your turn.
Where are your friend's now'
Threaten yourself, to try to please the crowd
because they want it more than you.

You won't be getting out of here too soon.
Surrender all your assets it's your turn.
Where are your friend's now'
Threaten yourself, to try to please the crowd
because they want it more than you.


2.Vesper

Straight from these arms, slip the unsurprising victims.
Down, comes the sun, in an uninspiring fashion.
You'd never let me cut to the chase baby,
because i will not let go this easy

Show me how it came to be this way,
we can't find a way out, this time
It's a fucking nightmare

You'd never let me cut to the chase baby,
because i will not let go this easy

You're putting me to shame;
You're putting me to shame.

And if you love me, come in and set this place on fire.

Stop taking notes and lock your doors,
paint the walls your favourite color
You know you're right in here

You'd never let me cut to the chase baby,
because i will not let go this easy


3.Hide Your Children

I can't believe this. You fucking died
I tried to tell you. That you never die young, no you never die
young
You might have listened, but you'll never learn
This place is twisted; we are so far from home

I can't believe this. You fucking died
I tried to tell you. That you never die young, no you never die
young
You might have listened, but you'll never learn
This place is twisted; we are so far from home

And I'll wear a heavy shadow just to show that I'm awake,
but it doesn't really matter when you're burning at the stake
Does it prove that you're a saviour' Is it out of your control'
And I don't know where we belong

This is panic. This is failure
This is everything you'd ever want to be
And even if you try to cut these already broken ties baby,
I will let you know
Behind a black and whit screen;
behind a black and white screen she learns;
She will never learn

And I'll wear a heavy shadow just to show that I'm awake,
but it doesn't really matter when you're burning at the stake
Does it prove that you're a saviour' Is it out of your control'
And I don't know where we belong

Between the walls, you hear your children breathing
Step back and watch the headlines on the ceiling
And even if you want to let them go;
you have to let them know that we are th bad ones
And we can save their very souls

And I'll wear a heavy shadow just to show that I'm awake,
but it doesn't really matter when you're burning at the stake
Does it prove that you're a saviour' Is it out of your control'
And I don't know where we belong

And I'll wear a heavy shadow just to show that I'm awake,
but it doesn't really matter when you're burning at the stake
Does it prove that you're a saviour' Is it out of your control'
And I don't know where we belong


4.The New Year

Touch me.
You'd never touch me.
You'd never.
Your silver smile has once again controlled me.

No need to put this on me.
You are the one and only thing I need.
Trust in me, i'll show you things you've never seen.

This town never felt the same.
Since the sun went down I don't feel so safe.
Your face is such a mess.
And the wine on your breath shows gracelessness.
So deceiving.

Let it go your hands are right in front of me.
Cracking up and, the sound of the new year saviour.
Pen on paper.
(This is what I get)

No need to do this baby.
The sex it drives me crazy.
You begin to break me in.
Tell me what you need.

So you throw it away.
All this fucking dismay
And now you're back in your skin.

Let it go your hands are right in front of me.
Cracking up and, the sound of the new year saviour.
Pen on paper.
(This is what I get)

Let it go your hands are right in front of me.
There will be terror at the sight of this...
She only knows how to stay awake in here.


5.If The Suspense Doesn't Kill Us,Something Else Will

You've never looked so picture perfect,
but I'm an open book now
Every white page will be turned to grey
And every second spent was worth it
We have the scars to show that
What a way to end a perfect day
You never seem to change
You never seem to change
You never seem to change

And maybe one day you'll be happy
We can remove those scars
And fill each others hearts with bliss
Or you'll die alone! With a gun in hand!
A rifle to your head! And I'll find you there!

You've never looked so picture perfect,
but I'm an open book now
Every white page will be turned to grey
And every second spent was worth it
We have the scars to show that
What a way to end a perfect day
You never seem to change
You never seem to change
You never seem to change
You never seem to change
You never seem to change
You never seem to change

Let me know when you're awake,
so I can lift your damaged grace
I'll be there to hold on to
Pretend your arms are wings...

You've never looked so picture perfect,
but I'm an open book now
Every white page will be turned to grey
And every second spent was worth it
We have the scars to show that
What a way to end a perfect day
You never seem to change
You never seem to change
You never seem to change


6.An Afterword

If you would let me hold you
the nights would never be this cold.
If morning has its romance and midday has demands,
if I could rest my head forever in these fragile hands.
If evening has its moments..

If you can keep a secret from me.
Then I can tell you thing that you'd not believe.
If I could write a letter and sign it with your blood
and send it with the truest of intentions my love,
if breathing was this easy, intentions would be lost.
The hold a conversation with a voice that cuts so soft.
If breathing was this easy'


7.Quarantined

This rope, it burns.
So untie me.
The deduction of laughter.
Thought I was clean.
And quarantined.
Obviously they found me.

If you'd just shine.
Your brightest light.
Then you could flee.

This Rope It Burns.
So Untie Me.
Think I could be any cleaner'
Call Me Crazy...

If you'd just shine.
Your brightest light.
Then you could flee
from the streets
I've tried screaming.
And tuning out.
I hope they leave soon.

This rope it still hangs here.
The sun slips down on me.

If you'd just shine.
Your brightest light.
Then you could flee
from the streets
I've tried screaming.
And tuning out.
For Me, For Me.


8.Opaque

Falling under
Once again
It's almost time to wake up
And start something
Breath is useless
In this game
This game is damaged
And up in flames

I can feel it rising
Here we go again

When you're asking
Me to walk
In a new direction
I'll be begging
For you to talk
With a true intention

How much longer must we wait'
In this game of patience you can't be late.

Bring it outside
For all to see
I'm so hard to tempt
Put your mind at ease

I can feel it rising
Here we go again
Deep inside I'm dying
Your first impression has been stained

When you're asking
Me to walk
In a new direction
I'll be begging
For you to talk
With a true intention
Intention, Intention

How much longer must we wait'
In this game of patience you can't be late.

Bring it outside
For all to see
I'm so hard to tempt
Put your mind at ease

When you're asking
Me to walk
In a new direction
I'll be begging
For you to talk
With a true intention

When you're asking
Me to walk
In a new direction
I'll be begging
For you to talk
With a true intention
Intention, Woah-oh-oh.


9.AshesA Different Kind Of Mess

We will fight this
With little progress
And we still stop them
From getting through us
Until we've had enough
We've Had enough
We will try this
This new project
With no meaning
Start from the ashes
Until we've had enough
We've Had enough of it
We'll never get enough
Get enough of this
We will fight this
With little progress
And we still stop them
From getting through us
Until we've had enough
We've Had enough of it
We'll never get enough

Don't beg for justice
When you know you deserve everything you get
(Eye for an eye' This is a different kind of mess)
Talk to my face the same you would behind my back, Yeah

You ran again
You can't control the elements
I'm not available, for you to throw me back in to this hole
(I'm trying to move but this is taking way too long)
And when I'm gone the stars will slowly start to fall

You ran again
You can't control the elements
You ran again
You can't control the elements

You ran again
You can't control the elements
You ran again
You can't control the elements


10.The Motion (Of Demotion)

This, This is a call
For all the people
Who can't seem to find
Time for themselves
Wound up in half truths
All seen through closed eyes
And I'll wait
I'd wait till the end of the world
For you
Once there is release
There is a new order
Inside of you
What you had heard
Was being spoon-fed
Along with dispute
And I'll wait
I'd wait till the end of the world
For you
And I'll wait
I'd wait till the end of the world
For you
I'll Wait, I'll Wait, For You
I'd wait till the end of the world
For you
I'd wait till the end of the world (I'd wait till the end)
For you
I'd wait till the end of the world
For you
I'd wait till the end of the world
For you
I'll Wait, I'll Wait, I'll Wait


11.Letter Of Credit

You cease to amaze me
With these means of letting go
It's all in your nature
And I can't help telling you

Can't you see that you are wasting all your time'
It's not poetical
After all
Here's my heart
In an envelope
Again

I know why you're absent
It was better left alone

Can't you see that you are wasting all your time'
It's not poetical
After all
Here's my heart
In an envelope

You're so typical
Critical
Unstoppable
Permissable

Poetical (Poetical)
After all (After All)
Here's my heart (Here's my Heart)
In an envelope
Again

No More, No More, No More
No More, No More, No More
No More, No More, No More
No More, No More.


12.Strings

Draw these strings tight
Keep yourself inside
Don't just lie there
Part your lips and smile, Oh

So you're dimming the lights again
Glowing inside again
Words exploding
Just like poem's
Carve them in stone
So the love can't be torn apart

Past this blacken
Lies perfection's eye's
This perfection is rightfully mine

So you're dimming the lights again
Glowing inside again
Words exploding
Just like poem's
Carve them in stone
So the love can't be torn apart

So you're dimming the lights again
Glowing inside again
Words exploding
Just like poem's
Carve them in stone
So the love can't be torn apart

Carve them in stone
So the love can't be torn apart

And I... Will Wait... For nothing...
For You...
And I... Will Wait... For nothing...
For You...
And I... Will Wait... For nothing...
For You...


13.Streetlight

Excuse me that could someone take this broken bottle
And explain to me, explain to me
All the reasons why well come undone
And why the streetlight couldnt harm anyone
There was reason and eternity
That all the forces in this place will bring me back to me

But if you see me coming up again
I will never spend
A day without you in my head, in my

But if we crawl into the morning
We will never see the light
And if we leave it up the fate
then we could fall in love tonight

If we spend another minute
I can find out what its worth
You can sweep me off my feet
and you could bring me down to earth

Now wait a minute heres the punch line
And if you understood this passage
then you better keep it to yourself,
yourself, yourself, yourself.

Now wait a minute heres a second time
And if you understood this passage
then you better keep it to yourself,
yourself, yourself and your head

But if you see me coming up again
I will never spend
A day without you in my head, in my head

But if we crawl into the morning
We will never see the light
And if we leave it up to fate
then we could fall in love tonight

If we spend another minute
I can find out what its worth
You can sweep me off my feet
and you could bring me down to earth

Now wait a minute heres the punch line
Now wait a minute heres the punch line
Now wait a minute heres the punch line
Now wait a minute heres the PUNCH LINE!

But if you see me coming up again
I will never spend
A day without you in my head, in my

But if we crawl into the morning
We will never see the light
And if we leave it up to fate t
hen we could fall in love tonight

If we spend another minute
I can find out what its worth
You can sweep me off my feet
and you could bring me down to earth

Now wait a minute heres the punch line,
and were out of time, TIME!


14.The Hardest Part

Here we are, a little bit closer now
Every memory that we had is slowly fading out
And even if you think you're having a bad day.

Here we are, a little bit further now
Every step we take we have to find a new way out
And everything is just about to come undone.

Baby I think you've had enough,
The hardest part of sleeping is waking up
And you know I care for you so much
I'd never let this happen if you were in my arms.

Here we are, a little bit louder now
Your lips are moving but there's nothing even coming out
It's because I can't hear your voice again.

Well here we are, a little bit further now
When every step we take we have to find a new way out
How can you just live your life'
It makes me want to scream.

'Cause baby I think you've had enough,
The hardest part of sleeping is waking up
You know I care for you so much
I'd never let this happen if you were in my arms.

Baby I think you've had enough,
The hardest part of sleeping is waking up
You know I care for you so much
I'd never let this happen if you were in my arms.

Baby I think you've had enough
(Baby I think you've had enough)
The hardest part of sleeping
(Baby I think you've had enough)
Is waking up

(Baby I think you've had enough)
You know I care for you so much
(Baby I think you've had enough)
I'd never let this happen
(Baby I think you've had enough)
If you were in my arms
If you were in my arms
If you were in my arms.


15.The Tempest

And this decision
The light is bleak
And you are awake
And I can barely see the ground beneath my feet.

But I can't do this all on my own,
I'm gonna need some help tonight
Moving backwards on your way out.

'Cause I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting, we're waiting too long
'Cause I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting, we're waiting too long.

If you can be sure
That it's the only thing you're thinking of
The nights are silent
And it all comes back to this.

'Cause I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting, we're waiting too long
'Cause I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting, we're waiting too long.

But the night has come undone now
But the night has come undone.

I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting, waiting too long
I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting too long.

'Cause I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting, we're waiting too long
'Cause I never told you, I never told you
That we've been waiting, we're waiting too long, long.


16.Where The City Meets The Sea

If I've learnt anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I'll take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, Yeah you turn me on.

Cause' down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me.
She carries me away.
Oh yeah...

I'll find my way
Would fall from grace
With the little piece of you that's left in me

But then it's 1, 2, 3 and you're back to me,
And all the pieces fit together oh so perfectly
Enough to take me home
Just take me home...

If I've learnt anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I'll take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, Yeah you turn me on.

With the little piece of me thats left in you

But then it's 1, 2, 3 and you're back to me

Why won't you take me home'

She carries me away.

19.Shadows

This morning I could hear the sounds
The city burning to the ground
Today I saw the sky come crashing down

I heard a whisper in my ear
It said come with me, away from here
And leave this burning buildings far behind you

But it was far too late
So it all came crashing down
I can see your shadow's much to far behind you
And I can see you're much too late

At night we watched the stars explode
The blackest sky we'd ever known
The moon came falling down just shortly after

The earth that we were standing on
Was burning and would so be gone
Unless the oceans started overflowing

I can see your shadow's much to far behind you
And I can see you're much too late
I can see your shadow's much to far behind you
And I can see you're much too late

This morning I could hear the sounds
The city burning to the ground
And I could hardly even hear you breathe
I can see your...

I can see your shadow's much to far behind you
And I can see you're much too late
I can see your shadow's much to far behind you
And I can see you're much too late

At night we watched the stars explode with you


20.Melophobia

It's haunting; it feels so close to me
You're floating, and I can barely swim

It's been this way for oh so long
You'd think I'de feel complete
I'm getting tired, I'm getting bored
Cuz' I'll never find the key

I'm sinking fast, into the sea
There's no time for one more drink
I tried to make my way back out
But you're not a me

It gets so hard
It gets so hard
But we'll all keep singing
It gets so hard
It gets so hard
To breathe
But we'll all keep singing

If you open your mind (just maybe)
Who knows just what you will find (just maybe)
If you don't open your head
Then this could be our last breath

It gets so hard
It gets so hard
But we'll all keep singing
It gets so hard
It gets so hard
To breathe
But we'll all keep singing

If you open your mind
Who knows just what you will find
But then I'll meet I'll always be
At the bottom of the sea

We run (x5)


21.Teardrop
