Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(You're the darkness in me)
[Verse 2]
I'm, I'm waking spirits tonight
And I can hear your voice
And I've got nothing to hide
'Cause you're with another boy
And I'm carving the sky
I'm having visions manifesting us in time
[Verse 3]
So I ride from the coast
I've got three more days
I know you want me the most
Want me in an altered state
I've been sleeping with ghosts
And I swallow medication
You should know
[Verse 4]
Strike a match
And whisper my name (Burning, burning)
Speak in tongues
Bend me 'til I break (Burning, burning)
[Verse 5]
And I'm giving in to your fever touch
Let it all begin when the fire starts
You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo
And the memories are filling up with smoke
You remember me and I start to choke
You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo
(Burning, burning)
(Burning, burning)
[Verse 6]
Does the mark on my skin
Make you hot with shame?
'Cause I'm in love with the sin
And I know how to take the blame
And I'll let you in
Do I look good in this position
Just like him?
[Verse 7]
Strike a match
And whisper my name (Burning, burning)
Speak in tongues
Bend me 'til I break (Wanna bend until I break)
[Verse 8]
And I'm giving in to your fever touch
Let it all begin when the fire starts
You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo
And the memories are filling up with smoke
You remember me and I start to choke
You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo
[Verse 9]
I want, I want, I want all the danger
Come on, come on, come on, keep me craving
This sweet intoxication, it shakes my soul
I want, I want, I want entertainment
Come on, come on, come on, keep me craving
This sweet intoxication, it shakes my soul (My soul)
[Verse 10]
And I'm giving in to your fever touch
Let it all begin when the fire starts
You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo (Palo Santo)
And the memories are filling up with smoke
You remember me and I start to choke
You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo
[Verse 11]
You're, you're the darkness
You're, you're the darkness
You are the darkness in me, Palo Santo
You're, you're, you're
You are the darkness in me, Palo Santo
