[Intro]
[violin scraping in
Slow and sour]
[drums and guitars crash in]
[Verse 1]
Cold dust on my Bible
Ash tray by the bed
Same stain on the ceiling
Same storm in my head
Boot prints in a circle
Pacing through this room
Every shadow on these walls
Feels like it wants my doom
[Chorus]
Save me from this darkness
It’s crawling up my spine
I’m staring at the bottle
Like it’s gonna give a sign
If there’s someone out there listening
Talk louder than my sin
Save me from this darkness
Before it drags me in
[Verse 2]
Phone dead on the counter
Name I never call
I buried every good thing
Out behind this house and all
There’s a picture in the hallway
Face I can’t erase
I see it in the mirror
Looking back in my place
[Chorus]
Save me from this darkness
It’s crawling up my spine
I’m staring at the bottle
Like it’s gonna give a sign
If there’s someone out there listening
Talk louder than my sin
Save me from this darkness
Before it drags me in
[Bridge]
I’ve been praying with my headlights
On that long two-lane
Chasing down forgiveness
Like it’s running from my name (oh)
If you’re out there in the black sky
Cut through this heavy air
Turn this poison in my bloodstream
Into one more broken prayer
[Chorus]
Save me from this darkness
It’s crawling up my spine
I’m staring at the bottle
Like it’s gonna give a sign
If there’s someone out there listening
Talk louder than my sin (hey!)
Save me from this darkness
Before it drags me in
Save me from this darkness
Don’t let it win
