Palo Santo

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.

(You're the darkness in me)

I

I'm weighting spirits tonight

And I can't hear your voice

I've got nothing to hide

'Cause you're with another boy

And I'm carving the sky

I'm having visions manifesting us in time

So I arrive from the coast

I've got three more days

I know you want me the most

Want me in an altered state

I've been sleeping with ghosts

And I swallow medication

You should know

Strike a match and whisper my name

(Burning, burning)

Speak in tongues, bend me 'til I break

(Running, running)

And I'm giving in to your fever touch

Let it all begin when the fire starts

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

And the memories are filling up with smoke

You'll remember me and I start to choke

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

(Burning, burning)

Does the mark on my skin

Make you hot with shame?

'Cause I'm in love with the sin

And I know how to take the blame (know how to take the blame)

And I let you win

Do I look good in this position, just like him?

Ooh

Strike a match and whisper my name

(Burning, burning)

Speak in tongues, bend me 'til I break

(Bend me 'til I break)

And I'm giving in to your fever touch (fever)

Let it all begin when the fire starts

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

And the memories are filling up with smoke

You'll remember me and I start to choke

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

I want, I want, I want all the danger

Come on, come on, come on keep me craving

This sweet intoxication shakes my soul

I want, I want, I want entertainment

Come on, come on, come on keep me craving

This sweet intoxication shakes my soul (my soul)

And I'm giving in to your fever touch

Let it all begin when the fire starts

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

And the memories are filling up with smoke

You'll remember me and I start to choke

You're the darkness in me, Palo Santo

You're, you're the darkness

You're, you're the darkness

You are the darkness in me, Palo Santo

You're, you're the darkness (you are, you are)

You're, you're the darkness (you are)

You are the darkness in me, Palo Santo
