lyrics

I would go out tonight,
but I am afraid of what I might do.
Lock all the doors, let the dark swallow the key.
When your light shines, it cuts through me.

I like drinking the ocean, on the rocks.
I'll have you for the night, so you'll do what I want.

I owe a debt to the moon.
A contract from a bite is all I am.
She needs blood in the form of a young one,
whose are the same shade as mine.

I like drinking the ocean, on the rocks.
I'll have you for the night, so you'll do what I want.

Take a glance in the mirror,
all you would see is fur and teeth,
but baby, that's not what's underneath.
Trust me, I've robbed many hearts.
I'm closer than you would like to think,
but that's not the way that I'd like to think,
all the time.

"Sabbath part"

Take a glance in the mirror,
all you would see is fur and teeth,
but baby, that's not what's underneath.
Trust me, I've robbed many hearts.
I'm closer than you would like to think,
but that's not the way that I'd like to think,
anymore.

I'm dying of thirst,
please don't let me take another drink,
and open your hands to this silver piece.
Tie me to a pine,
and keep my eyes open so I can see
the moon staring blankly at me,
one more time.
