[Intro]

There's no hope to come for you

There's no one left to get close to

Too long stuck in my chest

Can't keep it under my breath


[Verse 1]

The only way to cope

Is to see you as a disease

Insisting to resolve

Resisting every prophecy

Get it off of me


[Pre-Chorus]

And the moon is awake tonight

I'm collecting the names under the bruised sky


[Chorus]

I know the ending, it keeps playing out in my head

And running around again

Don't try to tell me it's as good as it's gonna get

The feeling won't leave 'til darknеss takes me

Don't forsake mе


[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, oh


[Verse 2]

How do I numb myself

When God is preying on the weak?

Instill the fear to fall

But it'll never work on me

Question everything

In the wake

Felt my whole world starting to shake

The cradle starts to break

And the red pools over me and turns to white


[Pre-Chorus]

And the moon is awake tonight

I'm collecting the names under the bruised sky


[Chorus]

I know the ending, it keeps playing out in my head

And running around again

Don't try to tell me it's as good as it's gonna get

The feeling won't leave 'til darkness takes me

Don't forsake me

Darkness takes me

Don't forsake me


[Outro]

Bathing in the light

Fend for your final form

The feeling you obscured

Will force you now to learn

Bathing in the light

There's nothing left to hide

Then never say a word

Under the bruised sky
