Higher

(album: Sundowning - 2019)

You say you won't begin again
Capitulate and let me in
'Cause I am a fire and you are dry as bone
You are taking your time
You are killing me slow

And I know we instigate
Go back and forth
Lacerate
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe

'Cause I look for scarlet
And you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher

With all that you believe you still refuse to shelter me
Because I am a danger and you're a long way from home
You are one among many but you're now on your own
And I hate the way you look at me when I am not understood
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe

You won't begin again
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
You won't begin again

'Cause I look for scarlet
And you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher

The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe

The debt that I owe
