"Blacklight Shine" lyrics

"Blacklight Shine"

You would be gone if it weren't for what I know
Help me out of this godforsaken cure

If that rain don't fall any sooner, I'm gonna wash up on the shore
If that train don't run any sooner, I'm gonna waste away
Into lantern jaws

Lastimado sentimiento en mi cinturita
Dame rabia, dame todo el dolor
Karma tarda en llegar pero llegará
Lo vas a pagar

If that rain don't fall any sooner, I'm gonna wash up on the shore
If that train don't run any sooner, I'm gonna waste away
Into lantern jaws

Y lo gritos van
Baila si quieres más
En pedazos quebrado
Me entregaste una vida de engaños
Lo vas a pagar

If that rain don't fall any sooner, I'm gonna wash up on the shore
If that train don't run any sooner, I'm gonna waste away
Into lantern jaws

Reseeding the desert, the high control hex
He obsessively pets with his thumbs
Thinking no one's watching
But I got the copy that he can never erase
He's fit for a crypt
A place for the errors in judgment that he can afford
And I am that moment that you never saw comin'

And every fingerprint you answered for (For, for)
I'll shine the blackest light to the culprit on all fours

If that rain don't fall any sooner, I'm gonna wash up on the shore
If that train don't run any sooner, I'm gonna waste away
If that rain don't fall any sooner, I'm gonna wash up on the shore
If that train don't run any sooner, I'm gonna waste away
Into lantern jaws
