lyrics
Compromise all of the laws and lies.
I can see through you. You’re only losing time now.
Stuck in the heart space,
fallen from your own grace,
Believe your own legends
when there is no face to save.
I know you. You know me.
We are who we’ve always been.
Marching towards dusk now,
the Villain(s) harbors nothing but her doubts.
She’d love to claim your life.
She says "offer your soul tonight.
Don’t bring a your gut to a heart fight baby.
Give me what I want or its bound to get shady.
Let’s play a game where you all go crazy
alone in the dark while they call you lazy.
Let the darkness-"
Don’t let the dark take you over.
Don’t let the darkness,
Don’t let the dark take you over.
Come back to when we were all friends
and not at war for something more.
Creation only costs your pride,
but resignation is wholly divine.
We are all wholly divine.
Millions of sun gods subtly taking form.
You can't control them but what would you want to for?
Rest now, you don’t have to own the track.
Breathe out, please take your time coming back.
Take out the vision, promote your derision.
With the little incisions, we’re off for collision.
Don’t lose your heart with a heartless conviction,
and if you won’t listen then I guess you're the Villain(s).
You won’t get what you need when/if you hold too tightly.
There won’t be any dark if we all burn brightly.
Let the light take you over.
