I Come Alive in the Dark Lyrics

Sometimes I think about drinking myself to death

Sleep all fucking day

Enjoy the time I have left

I'm so tired of begging you for a slice of that light

Because baby you know that I'm the one who rules the night

I hope you're reading this under a blanket

While I'm beating like a bat beneath the stars

You want a bitch who can cut like the Grim Reaper

Baby I come alive in the dark

Write-ups in Pitchfork didn't get you anywhere

You think it's punk because you hold a guitar

Looking at you is my numbing

Baby I come alive in the dark

Sometimes I wake up with black in my head

And every little hiccup feels like a loose thread

I'm one hundred steps closer to death

By every witches' pricking thumbs

You can call me Macbeth

Because everybody wants to rule the god damn world

And honestly your honesty makes me wanna...

And everybody wants the rules to being cool

And the first step is being callous

So I want to thank you

I want to thank you for the malice

Looking at you is my numbing

Baby I come alive in the dark

Sometimes I look up and see reflections of myself

Little pale imitations of a very real hell

You're breathing down those pearly white sparkling gates

But you're still fifty shades too safe to have what it takes

I hope you're reading this under a blanket

While I'm beating like a bat beneath the stars

You want a bitch who can cut like the Grim Reaper

Baby I come alive in the dark
