Psychotic Lyrics by The View

Ropewalk

2015

[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
You know it's gonna get you
You see red and not blue
That stuff you call your saviour, it's really killing you
Lying in the darkness, claiming it's too bright
Hanging on a shaky peg, as high as a kite
Knowing the morning's gonna burn you
You were in bed with the night

[Verse 2]
Your severed soul can't save you
It's all black and blue
You talk far too much Cindy
But to Cindy who?
Dying you're still conscious
This room is too tight
Or am I just getting bigger or am I losing sight?

[Pre-Chorus]
When did you become so psychotic?
When did you lose your mind?

[Chorus]
Only time I'm lonely is when I'm lying with you
And I wouldn't mind if it was just you but there's two of you

[Verse 3]
It's never gonna get you
And that much is true
Never was your saviour; will never defeat you
Lying in the brightness, the dark is out of sight
Standing on two legs
Two solid sturdy pegs

[Pre-Chorus]
And when did you become so psychotic?
When did you lose your mind?

[Chorus]
Only time I'm lonely is when I'm lying with you
And I wouldn't mind if it was just you but there's two of you
The only time I'm lonely is when I'm lying with you

[Verse 4]
Well life was much more simpler
When you were one not two
You're looking in the mirror
But looking right through
Life was much more simple
When you were one, not two
You're looking in the mirror
But looking straight right through, oh

[Chorus]
Only time I'm lonely is when I'm lying with you
I wouldn't mind if it was just you but there's two of you

[Breakdown]
I hope you take off and you fly away
And leave all this behind (There's two of you)
I hope you take off and you fly away (Oh)
Fly away
And leave the rest behind
(There's two of you)

[Outro]
What did you gain?
What did you lose? (Oh)
What did it take? (Oh)
Where were the clues?
(There's two of you)
What did you gain?
What did you lose?
What did it take?
Where were the clues?
