Jagged rocks, baby, hardened dust
That's what I keep in the crease of my hands
Couldn't hold all this love
My fingers fail the deeper my stance
Cold nights, baby, solid ice
Burnin' my jaw, frozen my cheek
Father, my God, sold me my suffering
When he told me I'm special
Said there's no one like me
Baby, hold me, I'm weak...
Young man so terrified
Can't get no sleep at night
Never seen no paradise
Never taught no decency
Never had no peace in life
My savior is a masochist
My name is a sacrilege
But my flame is immaculate
It serves me right
Burnin' bright
I came as a pacifist
My brain is a battleship
My flame is immaculate
The dead of night
The only light
Oh, in the dead of night
It's the only light I know
Lame babe, baby, stuttered starts
Ten steps behind fresh out the gate
Born to fold, I was bred for dark
Trouble on my mind, devil in my traits
Bad thoughts, baby, idle hands
Bane of my pride, burdened my brood
Abel, my kind, died by my suffering
Stain on my life
Worst of my truths
Baby, hurt me, I'm blue...
Young man so terrified
Can't get no sleep at night
Never seen no paradise
Never taught no decency
Never had no peace in life
My savior is a masochist
My name is a sacrilege
But my flame is immaculate
It serves me right
Burnin' bright
I came as a pacifist
My brain is a battleship
My flame is immaculate
The dead of night
The only light
Oh, in the dead of night
It's the only light I know
