[Verse 1]

Blacklight showing stains

Of pleasure games and faded days

Once bright and out of place

Virtue feigned, now made plain

[Pre-Chorus]

Paved by desire again

Her eyes beckon

Haunt to attend

Bask in the sun again

And burn

[Chorus]

For the sake of what's to come

You must kill another one

Shepherd pain and learn to cauterize and run

For the sake of all you've done

They will make you draw your gun

Debts repaid by spinning cycles of our blood

[Verse 2]

Bask in the sun again

And drink it in

Shamed for no fire or friend

I'll burn

[Bridge]

Pull mе under 'til I can recover from my lapsеd convictions

And fill my lungs with water out of reverence for your will

Hold me under 'til I can recover from my forced contrition

And bow my head to blessings I did nothing to deserve
