[Lyric] Carbon14 (Drown This City)

[Intro: Toby Thomas]
Send me back to hell's gates
I'm sick of this path and the light that awaits
Send me back to hell's gates
I'm sick of this path and the light that awaits
Let the light go
Antimatter is all I know

[Verse 1: Toby Thomas]
Nurture nor nature will ever depict the state
Of our decaying cells, ultraviolet catalytic hell
Happiness is a half-life, comfort found at the end of a knife
Strength or deterioration, suffering decadence

[Chorus: Alex Reade]
Eclipsing around you
The light fragments and shines right through
I've fought off burning
Absorbing all wavelengths, darkness is all I'll know

[Verse 2: Toby Thomas]
Carbon fourteen
Beta-decay, numbered days, we're not made the same
So, I've tried and try as I might
You can't illuminate that void of light
[Chorus: Alex Reade]
Eclipsing around you
The light fragments and shines right through
I've fought off burning
Absorbing all wavelengths, I am nothing

[Post-Chorus: Alex Reade & Toby Thomas]
Falling amidst a black hole
Drowning with colours we won't know
I reached for the light and it burnt my hand
Weakened, worthless, no shining idols will stand

[Outro: Toby Thomas]
Send me back to hell's gates
I'm sick of this path and the light that awaits
Send me back to hell's gates
Send me back
Subatomic rot
Decay and nothing more
