Penance

In the perfect dark, a botticellian angel exists

The elusive partner puts her key in my hand

A fairly simple gesture, shrouded in evil

As she distorts, it becomes easy to understand

Lost in her piercing eyes

As everything around me, dies

[Chorus:]

Well, can you make the nightmares go away

Can you pull the demon from inside?

Will penance make the nightmares go away?

And save me from this endless night

In the choking dark, I try to move, I'm unable

A hundred thousand moving creatures, tickle my flesh

I feel the heat, it's getting harder to breathe...

I feel the panic taking hold, for I'm beginning to understand.

The only way I'll be saved

Is if someone breaks into my grave

[Chorus]

Don't need it, don't want it

No more sedation, no more sedation

Don't need it, don't want it

Eradicate this endless aching inside

[x2]

[Chorus x2]
