(How Do I) Make the Devil Fall Asleep

The mausoleums fall, and there's a murder in the choir
My confidence has failed me and I'm burnt out of desire
A shadow of myself, maybe I'll go out with a smile
They took something that night
And what grew instead was vile
Saw the light leave her eyes as they dilate
To the solemn sound of her heartbreak
You can't rely on lullabies
When evil lives outside
What's the point of giving when they just take?
When they get what they want and they don't blink
It's your demise that's televised
So learn your lesson
And I return to the dark
(Sink deeper down in disgrace
Another falling from grace)
Help me out of the dark
(Is it too late to make the devil fall asleep?)
The congregations blind to all the riches on the pyre
The neighborhood is hurting and the suffering are tired
(My body's weak, mind is burnt out
So hollow)
Black dog stalks and lingers in doubt
I'm not making parole for soul
And I return to the dark
(Sink deeper down in disgrace
Another falling from grace)
Help me out of the dark
(Is it too late to make the devil fall asleep?)
Lie with me, I'm yours
I'm undone
These darkest parts take hold
Be gentle
The midnight won't console
The midnight won't console
The midnight won't console
Stained glass virtue will haunt you
Stained glass virtue will haunt you
Please burn all my tissues and press upon this bruise
Pleasure yourself to my death on the news
(Payment of pain is forgetting your name
The corporation's taken again and again and again)
