"The Comfort We Find In Our Vices" lyrics

"The Comfort We Find In Our Vices"

I went wandering around the devil's sea
Searching for the skeleton key

(I tried to drown my demons)
(But I taught them how to swim)
To unlock my patience
(I keep giving in)
(Cutting holes in my boat)
And understand my self-control
(They dance on the sails)
(And set fire to my hope)
Control

To tame the lion that is will is a burden and a blessing
Most just let desire run its course
But I (but I) will not sit idly by
And let (and let) him devour my roots

All of my doubt
Does nothing but monopolize
I tell myself
"To Let it go. Let it go"
When you realize
Your addictions keep you polarized
Let it go. Let it go

We detach and isolate
When we're just fractions of a whole
But in the ways, we are connected
Lie the signal and the soul
(Signal and the soul)
But I (but I) will not sit idly by
And sell (and sell) my confidence for timid ways

All of my doubt
Does nothing but monopolize
I tell myself
"Let it go. Let it go"
When you realize
Your addictions keep you polarized
Let it go. Let it go

I'll cut you out
Never to haunt me again
Never again
