"(How Do I) Make The Devil Fall Asleep" lyrics

The mausoleums full and 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 light leave her eyes as they dilate
To the solemn sound of her 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?

The congregations blind to all the riches on the pyre
The neighbourhood is hurting and the suffering are tired
My body's weak, and mind is burnt out
So hollow
Black dog stalks and lingers in doubt
I'm not making parole for 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 darkest parts take hold
Be gentle

The midnight won't console
The midnight won't console
The midnight won't console

Stained glass virtue
Will haunt you
Stained glass virtue
Will haunt you

Please burn all my tissues and press upon this bruise
Pleasure yourself to my death on the news
Payment of pain is forgetting your name
The corporation's taking again and again and again
