From Stephen’s Tumblr:
“This song is about the book ‘The brave new world’ by (huxley) and the society that it berates; hence the line ’Unhurried compass east’.”

[Intro]
Tonight my heart is cold
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
[Verse 1]
And gravity prevails this time it's over
And you think you're the one
[Pre-Chorus]
Calm me with your lies, your simple tragedy
It's all I wish to hear tonight
And you're all I wish to be
And this is how we all fall
[Chorus]
Tonight my heart is cold (heart is cold)
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go (just let go)
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries
[Verse 2]
And innocence derailed
Savage the poison unhurried compass East
[Pre-Chorus]
Calm me with your lies, your simple tragedy
It's all I wish to hear tonight
And you're all I wish to be
And this is how we all fall
[Chorus]
Tonight my heart is cold (heart is cold)
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go (just let go)
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries
[Bridge]
And we are
We are
We are the arsons
Who start all of your fires
And we are the arsons
Who start all of your fires
Burning
Burning your city down
[Chorus]
Tonight my heart is cold (heart is cold)
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go (just let go)
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries
Tonight my heart is cold (heart is cold)
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go (just let go)
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries
