We're all just empty vessels
Our lights turn off and on
Fill us up and watch us flicker
With the glimpses we've been shown
Now the postman brings the letters
The letters bring the pain
The pain brings to the surface
What will never be again
And the photographs are whispers
Of a light that slipped away
Of shadows, depth and particles
They captured on the day
Man down
The angels grabbed their coats and walked away
Man down
Forgotten how to breathe
Man down
The last one out the door turn out the light
And don't forget to turn the music off
There's a killer in the ether
The planes are on the ground
The money's racing out the door
Like some distant aching sound
Now the tears are slow convulsions
Purging us once more
Of the toxic repercussions
Crawling across the floor
And every hour takes me further
From the thing I can't claw back
As the distance in between us
Stretches further down the track
Man down
The angels grabbed their coats and walked away
Man down
Forgotten how to breathe
Man down
The last one out the door turn out the light
And don't forget to turn the music off
And don't forget to turn the music off
