    LYRICS
    I’m writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
    And if the words float up to the surface
    I’ll keep them down
    This is the first time I know
    I don’t want the crown
    You can take it now
    You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
    Stuck in my mouth, into my throat
    Told me to sing
    That was the first time I knew
    You can’t kill the king
    And those who kiss the ring
    Tell me how
    It’s better when the sun goes down
    We will never escape this town
    I wasn’t scared when he caught me
    Look what it taught me
    Tell me how
    It’s better if I make no sound
    I will never escape these doubts
    I wasn’t dead when they found me
    Watch as they pull me down
    I’m writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
    On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
    That was the first time I knew
    They were out for blood
    And they would have your guts
    Tell me how
    It’s better when the sun goes down
    We will never escape this town
    I wasn’t scared when he caught me
    Look what it taught me
    Tell me how
    It’s better if I make no sound
    I will never escape these doubts
    I wasn’t dead when they found me
    Watch as they pull me down
    Watch as they pull me down
    Watch as they pull me down
    Pulling me down
    Dead when they found me
    Watch as they pull me down
    Watch as they pull me down
    Watch as they pull me down
    Pulling me down
    Dead when they found me
    Watch as they pull me down
    I’m writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
    And if the words float up to the surface
    I’ll keep them down
    This is the first time I know
    I don’t want the crown
    You can take it now
    You can take it now
    Take it now

      @Jeff B You cannot be pretentious when your name is Robert Smith this guy has been around for 50 years and I can assure you this guy is not pretending. Now there are two sides of music the main stream and the alternative music. In this forum we are discussing a beautiful song from the main stream Bob music and we are embracing the fact that finally there is something good coming. We understand pop music most of the time is garbage that is true but this is a very beautiful song you don’t have to agree with us. If I want to listen to alternative all underground music I know where to look. And most of the time I listen to my own compositions now you can call me a pretentious.

    I LOVE how it turns into a Cure song at the 3:51 mark.

      I was thinking exactly the same, it could have been a Cure song for the next album!

      YESSS, the lushness of the guitar. Straight up Cure.

    I'm absolutely blown away. Pure genius. I love how the song gets right to it and its aggressive from the start. Its a freaky song and a freaky video. Bringing in Robert Smith was such a good decision. Lauren's and Robert's voice together hit the mark. Bravo. I found Chvrches through being a Sigrid fan. So glad I found them.

    You know the end of a song is going to hit just right when Robert is involved.
