Songtexte (How Do I) Make The Devil Fall Asleep - Hot Milk

Parsley, I'm fallen, there's a murder in the choir
My confidence has failed me and I'm burnt out of desire
A shadow of myself, maybe I'll go out with a smile
They took something that night and what grew instead was vile

Saw the life leave her eyes as they dilate
To the sullen sound of a heartbreak
You can't rely on lullabies when evil lives outside
What's the point of giving when they just take?
When they get what they want and they don't blink
It's your demise that's televised, so learn your lesson

And I return to the dark
Sink deeper down in disgrace, another falling from grace
Help me out of the dark
Is it too late to make the devil fall asleep?

Congregations blind to all the riches on the pyre
The neighbourhood is hurting and the suffering attire
My body's weak and mind is burnt out, so hollow
Black dog stalks and lingers in doubt
I'm not making war over my soul

And I return to the dark
Sink deeper down in disgrace, another falling from grace
Help me out of the dark
Is it too late to make the devil fall asleep?

Lie with me, I'm yours, I'm undone
These darkened thoughts take hold, be gentle

The midnight woke us all
The midnight woke us all
The midnight woke us all

Stained glass virtue will haunt you
Stained glass virtue will haunt you
Please blood on my tissues, I rest upon this bruise
Pleasure yourself to my death on the noose
Payment of pain is forgetting your name
A corporation sinking again and again and again
