Simon Neil said he wishes he’d chosen the name Haru Urara for the name of the band instead of Biffy Clyro.

[Verse 1]
I got a faded new obsession
With what? I guess you never know
At midnight, I'm naked in the garden
Startin' fights with all the people that I know
[Chorus]
'Cause the highest was cut
But he refused to go down

And the doubt could be heard
But he rode into eternity forever
The best of the worst

We rise
We will rise
We rise

You're the wall, we're the bricks in between (We rise)
We are the hope that you bleed (We rise)
If you fall, we're the arms underneath
'Cause the people we love are the people we need
