I wake up at the end of a long dark lonely year
It's bringing out the worst in me
I hear your voice start breaking in fear
When the lights go down
It's bringing out the worst in me
I hear your voice start breaking in fear
When the lights go down
And I still feel you looking over my shoulder
Your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
And I know none of us will survive
'Coz I know everything
Your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
And I know none of us will survive
'Coz I know everything
And my dear, I need you to move a little faster
The second counts as the rest of your life
Your final word and an itchy finger
And then it's taken away
The second counts as the rest of your life
Your final word and an itchy finger
And then it's taken away
And we'll be beaten down without mercy or meaning
I turn my face to a careless skyline
I'm searching hard for a sign from heaven
But they've forgotten me here
I turn my face to a careless skyline
I'm searching hard for a sign from heaven
But they've forgotten me here
You can just stop talking, I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know it's barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
(Let it happen, no need to fear)
Yeah, you can just stop talking I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know it's barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
(Let it happen, no need to fear)
Yeah, you can just stop talking I get it
Sex, fuck and fluorescent lighting
A hollow point on an angry bullet
We're on the teeth of a crocodile
We're in the mouth of a gun
A hollow point on an angry bullet
We're on the teeth of a crocodile
We're in the mouth of a gun
And sometimes at night I feel I'm just a broken vessel
An instrument with a darker purpose
I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless
'Coz they've got nothing to say
An instrument with a darker purpose
I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless
'Coz they've got nothing to say
So you can just stop talking, I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know it's barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
(Let it happen, no need to fear)
Yeah, you can just stop talking, I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know it's barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
(Let it happen, no need to fear)
Yeah, you can just stop talking, I get it
You can just stop talking, I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know it's barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
(Let it happen, no need to fear)
Yeah, you can just stop talking, I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
I know it's barely a thought, but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
(Let it happen, no need to fear)
Yeah, you can just stop talking, I get it

AboutArtist: +44
Album: When your heart stops beating (2006)
"Lycanthrope" is a song by American rock band +44, released on September 1, 2006 as the second single from the group's debut studio album, When Your Heart Stops Beating (2006).
"Lycanthrope" is the opening track of the band's debut studio album, When Your Heart Stops Beating, and was intended to introduce the band but leave the listener guessing. The song has been described as "another vitriolic and dark track about things ending, loneliness, hollow words and feeling broken. The protagonist in the chorus says he's going to set the other person free and to just let things happen without being afraid—if they would only just stop talking. Despite initial protestations, it's another track that is surely directed toward [former bandmate Tom DeLonge], despite cover stories that Mark and Travis may have felt moved to offer along the way."
"Lycanthrope" was first released through the band's official website on September 1, 2006, to both give the fans a taste of the forthcoming material and "presumably to make their feelings on what had happened as clear as possible."
