Starset Dark Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You came in on a whisper, drip by drip
And leaked until my heart was filled with this
The middle of your ocean, here I sit
In my emptiness, in my own wickedness

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's all counterfeit
You are my all, I am your surrogate
You only kill for the thrill of it
[Chorus]
Mayday, we've been sinking in slowly
Turning into something unholy
Running away from the same sins
This is a place heaven's not been
Eyes shut wide and going in boldly
You and I can never be holy
Don't be surprised what the night brings
When you search the dark, you get dark things

[Verse 2]
I've worshipped at your altar faithfully
I've summoned every demon inside me
And now they won't go back from whence they came
Am I an idiot? I'm still not sick of this

[Pre-Chorus]
And just like sycophants
We hate the way the numb feels intimate
You know we love it (Hypocrite)

[Chorus]
Mayday, we've been sinking in slowly
Turning into something unholy
Running away from the same sins This is a place heaven's not been
Eyes shut wide and going in boldly
You and I can never be holy
Don't be surprised what the night brings
When you search the dark, you get dark things
[Instrumental Breakdown]

[Bridge]
All the monsters in your dreams (Will be me, will be me)
Look at all the broken things (I can be, I can be)
Let me show you every sting
Tie you up by your heartstrings
Let me take you 'til I break you
Then bring you to your knees
(Dark-dark, dark things, dark-dark)
(Dark-dark, dark things, dark-dark)

[Chorus]
Mayday, we've been sinking in slowly
Turning into something unholy
Running away from the same sins
This is a place heaven's not been
Eyes shut wide and going in boldly
You and I can never be holy
Don't be surprised what the night brings
When you search the dark, you get dark things

[Outro]
You and I will never be holy
Don't be surprised what the night brings
When you search the dark, you get dark things
