Decayin’ with the Boys Lyrics by Every Time I Die

From Parts Unknown

2014

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I ain't afraid of the dark
I ain't worried about the savages loose in the night
But you show me the things I've done and, girl, you know
I get ch-ch-chills all down my crooked spine
[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
I've seen too much
If so below, then as above
Lord knows I've seen enough
[Verse 2]
It's crystal clear and uglier than I thought
Desperate and lonely juggernauts
Illuminate the filth
With the glow of your righteous heart
Shine a light upon the world
And I'll scurry back to the dark
[Break]
Lights on (Hey, hey)
Rats out (Hey, hey)
Somebody turn on the light (Hey, hey)
Get the rats out (Hey, hey)
[Verse 3]
The uppers lower me into the hive
The lights are low, us weeds come alive
Downers pick me up into a ditch
I cannot scratch this never-ending itch
Salvation is a hell of a thing
Salvation is a hell of a thing
Salvation is a hell of a thing
Pull the dust up over your eyes
[Bridge]
I don't believe I'll have a revelation with all these secrets of mine
And if I ever have a holy vision, it's going to be two at a time
I got so much soul in me that I'm barely alive
I've been down and out for so long I can't be revived
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I ain't afraid to be long lost
I ain't bothered by the silence, the cold, or the roads that stretch for miles
But you show me the man I've become and, girl, you know
I want to tie up a rope and crack my crooked spine
[Chorus]
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
I've seen too much
