lyrics

Strangers now, stranger when you lived in my house back then,
Strangers now, stranger when you had your hand in everything
Don't spring from the woodwork, 'cause I need to forget,
Don't you darken my doorstep...

...Bridges that we built are now ashes,
Everything we knew now burns and crashes,
Don't come back to haunt me, 'cause I need to forget,
Don't you darken my doorstep...

Strangers now, stranger when I felt like your battery hen
Strangers now, stranger when you cut me with your poison pen
Now I've burned your letters, 'cause I need to forget
Don't you darken my doorstep...

...Bridges that we built are now ashes,
Everything we knew now burns and crashes,
Don't come back to haunt me, 'cause I need to forget,
Don't you darken my doorstep...

Strangers now, stranger when silence was my only friend
Strangers now, stranger when an early grave seemed welcoming,
I moved across the river, 'cause I need to forget,
Don't you darken my doorstep

...Bridges that we built are now ashes,
Everything we knew now burns and crashes,
Don't come back to haunt me, 'cause I need to forget,
Don't spring from the woodwork, 'cause I need to forget,
I moved across the river, 'cause I need to forget,
Don't you darken my doorstep...

about

The Neon Madmen Chester, UK

All three members are involved in songwriting; ignoring genre and a shared surreal take on life makes for a highly individual sound.

The Neon Madmen's debut album CLIMB was released in January 2015, and they're super happy about it. ... more
