lyrics

Dancing towards the abyss
You and me swallowed up by a black hole
In perpetual concession
Infinite distance, eternal displacement
I cannot escape the pull
Fall into the collapse, let the time stretch
Doorways to the unknown, where hurt becomes love and pain is happiness
Born in black, we’ve only ever wanted to go back
Born in black, explode out of the ether, abandoned back into it

Dancing toward the abyss
You and me swallowed up by a black hole
In perpetual concession
I think I understand it now
I cannot escape the pull
Fall into the collapse, let the time stretch
The great distance unknown
This way to the exit, there’s no turning back
Born in black, we’ve only ever wanted to go back
Born in black, explode out of the ether, abandoned back into it
Born in black, we’ve only ever wanted to go back
Born in black, explode out of the ether, abandoned back into it
Born in black, we’ve only ever wanted to go back

Born in black, suicide medicine, kill yourself to live
Born in black, we knew where this was going, sweet illicit death
Born in black, this is where we begin, this is where we end
