Heat & Hot Water

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!
