The Darkest Side of Town Lyrics

We came to settle down

On the darkest side of town

We laid our weapons down

But for the one I keep around

We're the carnivores who feed

Making dead and dying breeds

We're the enemies you need

And the secrets that you keep

Screaming from the shadows now

You wonder how the silence got so loud

The devils on your shoulder sell you out

(We did then, we do now)

It seems like love to me

Only contradictory

Everything we say we mean

We know we don't believe

Thoughts without a doubt

That can't be said out loud

They gag and tie you down

Or whatever you're about

In the back rooms of your mind

Pulsing out of time

Is where we'll always find

The secrets that you never left behind

Screaming from the shadows now

You wonder how the silence got so loud

The devils on your shoulder sell you out

(We did then, we do now)

It seems like love to me

Only contradictory

Everything we say we mean

We know we don't believe

Are we uncommon

Or are we just alive?

'Sorry for nothing'

What's one more lie?

Still, it's something

Screaming from the shadows now

You wonder how the silence got so loud

The devils on your shoulder sell you out

(We did then, we do now)

It seems like love to me

Only contradictory

Everything we say we mean

We know we don't believe
