Lycanthrope Songtext

von Plus 44

Verse 1:
I wake up, at the end of a long, dark, lonely year.
It's bringing out the worst in me.
I hear your voice start breaking in fear,
When the lights go down.
And I still feel you looking over my shoulder,
Your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare.
And I know that none of us will survive,
'Cause I know everything.

Verse 2:
And my dear, I need you to move a little faster.
This second counts as the rest of your life.
Your final word and an itchy finger,
And then it's taken away.
And we'll be beaten down without mercy or meaning,
I turn my face to a careless skyline.
I'm searching hard for a sign from heaven,
But they've forgotten me here.

Chorus:
And you can just stop talking, I get it.
(I hear your silence loud and clear.)
I know it's barely a thought, but it'll see us through.
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen.
(Let it happen, no need to fear.)
Yeah, you can just stop talking, I get it.

Verse 3:
Sex, fuck and fluorescent lighting,
A hollow point and an angry bullet.
We're on the teeth of a crocodile,
We're in the mouth of a gun.
And sometimes at night, I feel I'm just a broken vessel,
An instrument with a darker purpose.
I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless,
'Cause they got nothing to say.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
