We Were Lightnings Across The Whole World

we were lightning across the whole world
we were lightnings,lightgnings,lightnings

and the guise to black cats we made a cross when our shadows met
and the guise to black cats we made a pact when our shadows passed
through sparrow black wind
a dead crow calls out to its wings
I'm getting weaker I'm getting thin
I hate how obvious I have been
I'm getting weaker,weaker,weaker

and I look down and see the whole world
and it's fading

help does not just walk up to you i could have told you that
i'm not an idiot
i could have told you that
in every serpent's eye watch you go where you go
every serpents double tongue takes a turn with your soul
if you let them ring your bell 

why wouldn't i be trying to figure it out
everyone tells you that
everyone tells you not to quit
i can't even see it to fight it
if it looks like i'm not trying i don't care what it looks like
cause i stood at the altar and everything turned white
all I heard was the sound of the world coming down around me
why wouldn't i be trying
why wouldn't i try
cause those double tongues are singing hear the wail of the choir through the fog
they're always close they're always so close always close always so close
if there's a way out it will be step by step through the black
why wouldn't i be trying to figure it out it don't mean i'm not trying if i don't make it back
i know serpents will cross universes to circle around our necks
i know hounds will cross universes to circle around our feet
i know they're close
step by step one's beside me to kill me or to guide me
why wouldn't i be trying to figure which one out
