Lyrics:

How Long Is The Night:

If we run far away do you think we will ever die?
We'll throw these books in the fire
Can you stop the train
Cause it some delay?
The change machine lied
And it's too late to scream

How long is the night?
It's never over
The ribbon was tied
But the card was never read
The ribbon was crimson
The color of the night

Can you see the handwriting on the walls
And on the autumn leaves that call
"What are we gonna do?"
The trees are giving up on us
The needle and the thread
Won't stitch us to the branch
And the night never ends

I will never sleep again
(I will never even close my eyes)

If the sun is on its way
Then we will never die
And we'll follow these tracks to the sight
Now the lungs collapse
And the air is getting thin
All breath expired
Is too late to heal?

How long is the night?

It's all I ever see anymore
But the day was so bright in the pictures
In the photo album that you gave me
It's all I have to live for

I'm falling down
And you're not here to break my fall
I shut my eyes when you're around
I hold my breath to kill the sound of your voice
I'm falling down.
And you're not here to break my fall

i1100:

We'll all look the same someday
And even now the robot starts to think
I wonder what it dreams
The Tide is high on Fourteenth Street
The rain comes in to clear the heat
The way in is the same way out
the way up is the same way down
Now there is no safe way down

About the songs:

• Geoff Rickly explained in an interview with Vice that “How Long Is The Night” was about his French partner who would lie down on the train tracks behind their school and waited for a train to run him over.
