lyrics

I was never supposed to fall so far into the night
I hear the music of Orpheus and it only sounds alright
the morning light could hit like a bomb and I'd stay right where I am
I worked so hard learning how to sit still that I forgot how to stand

I should just let these rain clouds
crash and move, let everything transform
even if I try and fight it
still will it will it will it always will

I don't wanna leave it
I don't wanna believe it
I can almost see it, but it goes
then it's gone
and given back to the dark

in the glow of a sour moon, in its cresting bitter waves
I shoot away from the hungry earth and then crawl back every day
to where my body is opened up with my insides inside out
I'd always guessed it was full of whispers but apparently it shouts

I should just let this alchemy
crash and move, let everything transform
even if I try and fight it
still will it will it will it always will

I don't wanna leave it
I don't wanna believe it
I can almost see it, but it goes
then it's gone
and given back to the dark

I should just let this energy
crash and move, let everything transform
even if I try and fight it
still will it will it will it always will

I don't wanna leave it
I don't wanna believe it
I can almost see it, but it goes
then it's gone
and given back to the dark
