lyrics

It Won't Be Long For You

turn on the lights, dear
this night is overgrown
it's time to come alive here
open your golden throat

cuz it's poisonous enough there
without your holy tone
your silence is too much to bear
tells me I'm all alone
I know I'm not all alone

I know you
ain't nothing wrong with you
I know what you can do
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you

let's walk hand in hand
through the fire and snow
we gotta take that stand
before we got to go
y'know we all gotta go

I'm talkin' bout a lot here
I'm tellin' you the most
but there's just one more shot, dear
to kill your hungry ghost
to kill your hungry ghost

I know you
ain't nothing wrong with you
I know what you can do
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you

don't try to tell me you can't
that's just another awful joke
I don't wanna hear your rant
bout how you're busted and you're broke

cuz when it's time to fall
the trees always seem to know
and if you gotta crawl
well as above so below
as above so below

I know you
ain't nothing wrong with you
I know what you can do
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you
