dark things

You came in on a whisper, drip by drip

And leaked in till my heart was filled with this

The middle of your ocean, here I sit

In my emptiness, in my own wickedness

And it's all counterfeit

You are my all, I am your surrogate

You only kill for the thrill of it

Mayday, we've been sinking here slowly

Turning into something unholy

Running away from the same sins

This is a place Heaven's not been

Eyes shut wide and going in boldly

You and I can never be holy

Don't be surprised what the night brings

When you search the dark, you get dark things

I've worshipped at your altar faithfully

I've summoned every demon inside me

And now they won't go back from whence they came

Am I an idiot? I'm still not sick of this

And just like sycophants

We hate the way the numb feels intimate

You know you love it, hypocrite

Mayday, we've been sinking here slowly

Turning into something unholy

Running away from the same sins

This is a place Heaven's not been

Eyes shut wide and going in boldly

You and I can never be holy

Don't be surprised what the night brings

When you search the dark, you get dark things

All the monsters in your dreams (Will be me, will be me)

Look at all the broken things (I can be, I can be)

Let me show you every sting

Tie you up by your heartstrings

Let me take you till I break you

And bring you to your knees

Mayday, we've been sinking here slowly

Turning into something unholy

Running away from the same sins

This is a place Heaven's not been

Eyes shut wide and going in boldly

You and I can never be holy

Don't be surprised what the night brings

When you search the dark, you get dark things

You and I will never be holy

Don't be surprised what the night brings

When you search the dark, you get dark things
