darkness

Lyrics

Verse 1
Name on my tongue
You call me darkness
I wear the night
Like it was mine

Step in the room
Heads turn, then freeze
Black velvet smile
Sharp on the seams

I don't beg, I don't bend
I just pull you in
One look and you're mine
Then I start again

Pre-Chorus
Hold your breath now
Feel that pull
Closer, closer
Empty and full

Say my name slow
Let it burn
Darkness rising
Your turn, your turn

Chorus
Darkness, darkness
Come a little closer
Darkness, darkness
I make the dark look golden

Darkness, darkness
You can call me home now
Darkness, darkness
Baby, let it take you

Verse 2
Heels on the floor
Knife-clean time
I move like smoke
Through your mind

Hands in the air
No way out
You want the fire
I bring the shadow

I talk too sweet
Then I switch sides
Pretty and cold
With a stare that bites

One kiss, one cut
You don't forget
I leave my mark
On every step

Rap
Yeah, I came from the hush in the back of the mirror
Quick little smile but the edge getting clearer
Run when I want, but I never get tired
Fire in my lungs and the silence get wired

Tell 'em I said it, I don't play fair
Black on my nails and a glare like a dare
Talk real loud, but your voice get small
When darkness walk in, I take it all

Pre-Chorus
Hold your breath now
Feel that pull
Closer, closer
Empty and full

Say my name slow
Let it burn
Darkness rising
Your turn, your turn

Chorus
Darkness, darkness
Come a little closer
Darkness, darkness
I make the dark look golden

Darkness, darkness
You can call me home now
Darkness, darkness
Baby, let it take you

Bridge
Half-time
If you fall in
I won't let go
Follow the blue flame
Down below

No more fighting
No more fear
When the night sings
I'm right here

Final Chorus
Darkness, darkness
Come a little closer
Darkness, darkness
I make the dark look golden

Darkness, darkness
You can call me home now
Darkness, darkness
Baby, let it take you

Darkness, darkness
Say it like you mean it
Darkness, darkness
I was born to keep it
