| Dark never came
|
| And we spoke in the sand 'til we ran out of things to say
|
| Oh no, and they served you on a plate;
|
| They were frowning and bowing their heads like birds of prey
|
| Oh no, I was taking my time while the stars aligned
|
| You were holding my hand like a bottle
|
| 'til it tingled right down to the tips and then it shattered our bones!
|
| Are you at peace when you’re feeding the beast?
|
| Wherever we go, in the darkness
|
| Solemn and content to die alone
|
| But other people, in the darkness
|
| Cowering their heads and dyin' alone
|
| Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh!
|
| Nightly attacks; |
| rip the meat from your back
|
| And we’re sleeping warm and close
|
| Oh no, you’ve been feeding it your ideas
|
| Even though it doesn’t like the taste
|
| 'Cause they burn, and they grow
|
| While you’re waiting outside on your sister’s roof
|
| For the light to stream out of the garden
|
| I was lying facedown in an empty pool
|
| As the rain falls hard on the bottom
|
| And you’re wasting our time, if you can’t be kind
|
| And I’ll take the flashlight down to the basement, and it’ll swallow me whole!
|
| Blood on your face, you were born for the chase
|
| Wherever we go, in the darkness
|
| Counting sins and taking things of size
|
| Wherever we go, in the darkness
|
| Mowing fins and breaking limbs in time
|
| Wherever we go, in the darkness
|
| Nothing’s gonna ease your worried mind
|
| Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh! |
