lyrics

I don’t need Heaven
To remind me how far I can fall
Just the world can make me feel so small
I can’t understand myself
And I sink down, down, down
In this black river
Down, down, down
Like a dead white stone

Your beauty
Just reminds me how ugly I feel
Dig my nails into my skin and peel
Til I can’t recognize myself
And I strip down, down, down
In this black mirror
Down, down, down
To my dead white bones

And I reach back into my mind
Where the sleeping snake unwinds
He feels the sun but can’t see it shine
A lifetime in the night will leave you blind

Now I remember
As the bodies line up on the wall
They only came to see me fall
And I’ve got no surprises anymore
Down, down, down

And I reach back into my mind
Where the sleeping snake unwinds
He feels no love but he’s not unkind
A lifetime in the night will do me fine
