Lyrics

Violent Delights

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Had a dream your father died

I couldn't scream

I couldn't cry

The second night, I dreamt you drowned

You couldn't fight

You were not found

These violent delights

Keep creeping into my nights

And they're reading my rites

And I'll never sleep alone again

And these violent delights

Keep bleeding into the light

And I'll never be right

But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone

A photograph will steal your soul

An epitaph won't make you whole

If I disappear, they'll say I killed myself

I never feared for my own health

These violent delights

Keep creeping into my nights

And they're reading my rites

And I'll never sleep alone again

And these violent delights

Keep bleeding into the light

And I'll never be right

But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

I don't want to sleep alone, no

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

Never sleep alone again, no

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

I don't want to sleep alone, no

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

Never sleep alone again when I'm gone

These violent delights

Keep creeping into my nights

And they're reading my rites

And I'll never sleep alone again

And these violent delights

Keep bleeding into the light

And I'll never be right

But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone

Alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone
