'We are the future charles, Not them​.​'

about

I wrote this song a couple of years ago, it's one of the more fun songs to play live, and I've always particularly enjoyed the fact it's a little story!

Fun Fact: The title is taken from the original Xmen film (2002), it's a Magneto quote.

lyrics

Way down, missing at the bottom of a hole i was lost,
there i was sitting, thinking, all the things i said at the start,
it was a black night, clear, and so i sat staring at stars,
thinking of all of the things that i would say were i in your arms.

no i'm sorry doesn't cut it babe,
i'm sure that you're aware of the hype
i was maybe feeling jaded babe,
and i just dropped my gaurd on that night

But for what it's worth
for what it's worth
you were right

i was ticking over, like a clock without a clue of the time,
when the rain began to fall and the hole began to fill, you were right.
I scratched, and clawed and grabbed, and did my best to stop from loosing the fight
When everything was said and done, the air escaped my lungs and I died.

I felt the air,
leave my lungs,
I lay there.
