lyrics

Seal off the door and we'll rattle around
Pair of survivors just awaiting an ending
And though we know we're the last of our kind
I'm never letting you out
When they strike me down
I'm lighting you up

A convocation as our numbers are thinning
Silent companions extract from the dark
And though the risk is only getting hot headed
I'm never putting you out

If they strike me down
I'm lighting you up
And together we'll glow
And glow
Our dying glow
Like there's one place left to go

I can tell by the look in your eye
That you’re only ever waiting for something
A single moment or a second last chance
To get your buttons pushed

If they strike me down
I'm lighting you up
And together we'll glow
And glow
Our dying glow
Now there's one place left to go

We'll travel through a certain new shade of red
Burn our tops down right down to the ends
Just to prove they shouldn’t leave us together
We’ll only ever be each other's touch paper

There's an end that we both know is coming
And though it's needed no one will admit it
A grasping clutch and a rise in the dark
And one last flash in the air

When they strike me down
I'm lighting you up
And together we'll glow
And glow
Our dying glow
Like there's one place left to go
