Man, this album rules. I like it even more than Ghost. Ben Cooper is one of the best lyricists I've ever encountered. He has such a unique vision. And musically, he's the most interesting guy going right now, in my opinion.
A few comments:
-Should be "My record's never clean" not "My records never cling"
-The "graveyards" part should be "Rummaging through the graveyards / Of modern thought and values long forgotten"
-"Now that I've been" part is actually "Now that I've paid my dues / My head's just one big bruise"
-While I hadn't considered the "But staying sane / But stay insane" switch up (you're right, the phrases do sound similar), I don't think that interpretation fits with the theme of the album. It's about keeping it together in the modern age. I believe he just sings "But staying sane" twice the first time as well as once at the end.
