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