lyrics

I'm not feeling well, haven't been myself.
My body is acting up, it's had enough. Thrown in the towel
The reality is not hard to see.
My memories are fading fast, no bouncing back, I'm deteriorating.

--Tonight, I don't think I'm going to wake up.
We've run out of time, out of years, out of luck.
Believe in all honesty and truth
I'll keep a good eye on you

Now I limp around but I won't drag this out.
My suffering won't subside, I fought the fight
So as you lay me down just say goodnight because it's not goodbye.
In an afterlife we'll reunite in a constellation lightyears high.

We haunt our favourite memories as ghosts, so I'm aware of what awaits.
Look for subtle differences around your home, I'll stay at your side if I have a say.
Bedroom windows open, curtains blow, whispers in the wind.
My pictures position, the photo frames will float.
So burn or bury my remains, the ever present will never fade.
I will never go away.

"Listen Up Kid create elaborately layered melodies and poetic lyrics, both of which embody the essence alternative rock. In fact, they blow the genre defining elements out of the water by tossing in the odd splash of metal, pop, electronic influences. The result is something that you have never heard before.“
