Tranquillizer Lyrics

Eyeliner up, you knock me down

You hold your breath

And I hold mine

Every step, another step

Towards half-heartedness



Let us be happy while we're still young

Let us be happy while we're still young



Until it all seemed pointless, we lifted up the mattress

From underneath the window seat

"Is this what checkmate means?" she said

Lighting up again

Yes, I like the stillness...



Sometimes we had endless hope

And tranquillizer eyes

Fear so close, it's hard to breathe

So close, but we believe



Let us be happy while we're still young

Let us be happy while we're still young



Until it all seemed pointless, we lifted up the mattress

From underneath the window seat

"Is this what checkmate means?" she said

Lighting up again

Yes, I like the stillness...



Let us be happy while we're still young (6x)



Let us be happy...



Until it all seemed pointless, we lifted up the mattress

From underneath the window seat

"Is this what checkmate means?" she said

Lighting up again

Yes, I like the stalemate
