You're the darkness in me 00:00

00:05

I... 00:07

I'm waking spirits tonight 00:10

And I can't hear your voice 00:13

I got nothing to hide 00:16

'Cause you're with another boy 00:19

And I'm carving the sky 00:22

I'm having visions manifesting us in time 00:25

So I arrive from the coast 00:33

I've got three more days 00:36

I know you want me the most 00:39

Want me in an altered state 00:42

I've been sleeping with ghosts 00:45

And I swallow medication 00:48

You should know 00:51

00:54

Strike a match and whisper my name (burning, burning) 00:57

Speak in tongues, bend me 'til I break (running, running) 01:03

And I'm giving in to your fever touch 01:09

Let it all begin when the fire starts 01:12

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo 01:15

And the memories are filling up with smoke 01:20

You'll remember me and I start to choke 01:23

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo 01:26

Oh (burning, burning) 01:31

Does the mark on my skin 01:37

Make you hot with shame? 01:40

'Cause I'm in love with the sin 01:42

And I know how to take the blame 01:45

And I let you win 01:48

Do I look good in this position, just like him? 01:51

Ooh 01:57

Strike a match and whisper my name (burning, burning) 02:01

Speak in tongues, bend me 'til I break (wanna bend me 'til I break) 02:06

And I'm giving in to your fever touch 02:13

Let it all begin when the fire starts 02:15

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo 02:18

And the memories are filling up with smoke 02:24

You'll remember me and I start to choke 02:27

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo 02:30

Ooh 02:35

I want, I want, I want all the danger 02:36

Come on, come on, come on, keep me craving 02:38

This sweet intoxication shakes my soul 02:42

I want, I want, I want entertainment 02:47

Come on, come on, come on, keep me craving 02:50

This sweet intoxication shakes my soul (my soul) 02:53

And I'm giving in to your fever touch 02:59

Let it all begin when the fire starts 03:02

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You're the darkness in me

...

I...

I'm waking spirits tonight

And I can't hear your voice

I got nothing to hide

'Cause you're with another boy

And I'm carving the sky

I'm having visions manifesting us in time

So I arrive from the coast

I've got three more days

I know you want me the most

Want me in an altered state

I've been sleeping with ghosts

And I swallow medication

You should know

...

Strike a match and whisper my name (burning, burning)

Speak in tongues, bend me 'til I break (running, running)

And I'm giving in to your fever touch

Let it all begin when the fire starts

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

And the memories are filling up with smoke

You'll remember me and I start to choke

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

Oh (burning, burning)

Does the mark on my skin

Make you hot with shame?

'Cause I'm in love with the sin

And I know how to take the blame

And I let you win

Do I look good in this position, just like him?

Ooh

Strike a match and whisper my name (burning, burning)

Speak in tongues, bend me 'til I break (wanna bend me 'til I break)

And I'm giving in to your fever touch

Let it all begin when the fire starts

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

And the memories are filling up with smoke

You'll remember me and I start to choke

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

Ooh

I want, I want, I want all the danger

Come on, come on, come on, keep me craving

This sweet intoxication shakes my soul

I want, I want, I want entertainment

Come on, come on, come on, keep me craving

This sweet intoxication shakes my soul (my soul)

And I'm giving in to your fever touch

Let it all begin when the fire starts

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

And the memories are filling up with smoke

You'll remember me and I start to choke

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

(You're) You're the darkness

You are the darkness in me, Palo Santo

You're (you are), you're the darkness (you are)

You're (you are), you're the darkness

You are the darkness in me, Palo Santo
