If You Want Blood (2007)

I'm waiting for the quiet
After the darker light
They'll be everything
To stop the sun
There is no silent choir
You can't turn down desire
Go a few more times
Around the sun
Don't want to read about it in the places we could go
I'd rather never see, never look and never know
I'd rather never know
Don't hold it up for me
I've seen all I can see
Refuse to read about it in a monthly magazine
The way you keep demanding that I really ought to be
One day in lighter lives
Someday there will be quiet
We could steal everything
Stop the sun
We are not getting by
Will we not join the choir
We'll have everything
To stop the sun
Don't want to read about it in the places we could go
I'd rather never see, never look and never know
I'd rather never know
Don't hold it up for me
I've seen all I can see
Refuse to read about it in a monthly magazine
The way you keep demanding that I really ought to be
Oh no. How could we ever think we were a part of
Conviction is our only partner
You and I should go away from here
Oh no. I don't want the night to make us worry
Don't want to be safe or sorry
You and I could go away from here
Don't want to read about it in the places we could go
I'd rather never see, never look and never know
I already know
Don't hold it up for me
I've seen all I can see
Refuse to read about it in a monthly magazine
The way you keep demanding that I really ought to be
