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
