Through the fallouts Through the breakdowns
 I burnt my bridges
 I burnt the whole fucking town
 We used to be maps 
You traced boulevards into my skin 
Now we’re back
 And falling in circles again 

I know that you are scared to death
 But you’re not the type to run and I know you say you’re fine 
When everything is wrong 
I feel like a silhouette
 Singing stories to you on the phone 
and I know I’m the one who left 
But I never meant to leave you
 
So don’t fly away 
‘Cause I gave away what you gave to me And
 don’t tear yourself down 
‘Cause I finally figured what’s worth fighting about 

 I can’t just turn around 
We’re suddenly ghosts and 
Sleeping with strangers 
I re-read what you wrote
 And look at every photo we took 

And I’m still the grey streets 
And I’m still the old places we’d meet
 We’re falling in circles again

 

Violet left the garden don’t you know? 
No longer lost 
But still so far from home

2.
You sweet broken thing You’ll be the death of me Took me unaware Living over there Oh, take this love and weigh it down Push it down beneath the ground Take this love and weigh it down Push it down My saving grace Was running away Before I gave My weary heart to break You’ve spoiled everything I’ve got nothing left to say to you Can’t give my heart away When you stole it right from out of me Oh, when I see your smile Oh be the death of me You sweet broken thing Take me unaware Take me over there My saving grace Was running away But now I’ll stay

We Lied 05:01
I fell awake in your light 
I fade away from your side

 Well, I don’t know anyone else who I can tell about this I can’t Breathe the air around here anymore I’m falling apart and you seem distracted 

Oh won’t you come out with it?
 We’re so deep in your atmosphere
 Of dread 

I fell awake in your light 
In your cold fire 
In your quiet devastation
 After all this 
 How could you say
 You lost yourself?

 You were hardly searching

 Just go
 I will be right here 
Living your little nightmare
 Oh everything is fine, yeah 
Hope that your having fun, yeah
 
We couldn’t fight 
So we lied
 We wouldn’t run when it was time 
So we lied 

I never thought I’d cause such harm 
How long do we go? 
How wrong do we become? 
I think I need to just be someone else 
For a while 
How long for? 
I’m unsure 

I gravitate to our old fires 
I’ve given some thought to give up old desires 
I fell in love with our highs
 When we were low
 We lied
 The party breaks and it leads my eyes 
To your eyes
 

4.
Let’s dance without the subtext 
Like wreckage among the stars 
Let’s burn up like photographs, and
 Get down, get down 
Get down tonight
 Get down, get down 

Until you’ve forgotten everything 

You don’t need to love me for me
 Just love me for someone 
That I might be some day 
You don’t even have to love me for me 
Just love me for someone That I might be some day
 I’m alright 
I’m a thousand miles away 
I’m alright 
Have fun with the boys 
Have fun with the boys 
I’m alright 
Have fun with the boys 
Have fun

 You don’t need to love me for me 
Just love me for someone That I might be someday 
You don’t even have to love me for me
 Just love me for someone That I might be someday I’m alright
 Go out tonight
 Oh I’m alright
 Have fun with the boys 
I’m alright 
Oh I’m a million miles away 
No, I’m alright 
Have fun with the boys 

Go out tonight
 Have fun with the boys

 Oh cherish this pain 
It’s fleeting Oh I was so in love with everything
 Back then 
Cherish these days 
They’re fleeting 
Oh I was so in love with everything
 Back then

 You don’t have to love me for me 
I guess you don’t need to love me at all 
You don’t have to love me for me

Last Days 06:17
If all we love we leave 
Does all the love we leave
 Just rot right on the tree?
 Comes anyway
 Last Days
 If all we love we leave
 Does all the love we leave 
Go clear like cellophane? 
Comes anyway 
Bitter and sweet Last Days

about

Classic Red Perth, Australia

An escapee of Melbourne, subsisting on red wine, black metal and instant coffee suffuses melancholic and progressive influences into 80’s pop music. From Perth, the most remote city in Australia, comes Last Days by Classic Red. The sound of a bar room scrap between David Bowie and Deafheaven, with John Carpenter playing the score and James Blake silently punching himself in the face in the corner. ... more
