A# Gm
Dark never came, and we spoke in the sand 'til we ran out of things to say.
Eb A#
Oh no, when they served you on a plate;
Gm
they were frowning and bowing their heads like birds of prey.
Eb A#
Oh no, I was taking my time while the stars aligned,
You were holding my hand like a bottle,
Gm Eb A#
'til it tingled right down to the tips and then it shattered our bones!
Eb
Are you at peace when you're feeding the beast?
A#
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
Eb
Solemn and content to die alone.
A#
But other people, in the darkness,
Eb
cower in their beds and dine alone.
Eb
A#
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh!
A#
Nightly attacks; rip the meat from your back
Gm
when we're sleeping warm and close.
Eb A#
Oh no, and you're feeding it your ideas
even though it doesn't like the taste.
Gm Eb
'Cause they burn, and it grows,
A#
While you're waiting outside on your sister's roof
for the light to stream out of the garden,
Gm Eb
I'll be lying face down in an empty pool
A#
as the rain falls hot on the bottom.
Am G# Gm F
And we're wasting our time, if you can't be kind,
Eb A#
And I'll take the flashlight down to the basement, and it'll swallow me whole!
A#
Oooo-oooo
Eb
Blood on your face, you were born for the chase,
A#
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
Eb
Counting sins and taking things as signs,
A#
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
Eb
Growing fins and breaking limbs in time,
A#
Wherever we go, in the darkness,
Eb
Nothing's gonna ease your worried mind.
Eb A# G# Eb A# G#
Eb A# G#
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh!
Eb A# G#
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh!
Eb
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ooh oooooooh
