Everlasting Arms

(album: Modern Vampires Of The City - 2013)

I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself

Oh I was made to live without you
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand
Oh I was born to live without you
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down

I thought it over and drew the curtain
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I hummed the "Dies Irae" as you played the Hallelujah
Leave me to myself, don't leave me in myself

If you've been made serve the master
You'd be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand
Could I've made serve the master?
Well, I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms
