We Only get the Dark (September Remix Challenge)

[Intro] I have kept this night longer than your bloodline I only get the change once a month and I still showed up [Verse 1] I wear the moon like a sentence I count the hours I can stand beside you My hands are kind until they aren’t I told you that before I kissed you I am a door that locks from the inside You knew You stayed [Verse 2] I have buried men who promised mornings I stopped believing in mornings You smell like a short fuse and a churchyard I should have walked I put my mouth on your pulse instead I do not get to keep you I get to keep this [Pre-Chorus] Don’t wait for dawn Dawn is not a gift here If I stay too long I won’t be me If you leave too soon I remember everyone [Chorus] We only get the dark We only get the hours that will have us No chapel No forever Just the pact Your hunger My century We only get the dark And we take it [Verse 3] They’ll come with silver and a story They always do I can run I can ruin a street I will not ruin you That is the only peace I owe this skin [Verse 4] I have outlived the law and the prayer I can hide you in a name older than their fear I cannot hide you from the sky When the bell starts You go I remain That is the love It is not pretty [Pre-Chorus] Don’t wait for dawn I stopped waiting lifetimes ago Leave before the bell Or stay and pay it [Chorus] We only get the dark We only get the hours that will have us No chapel No forever Just the pact Your hunger My century We only get the dark And we take it [Violin Solo] [Bridge] Stay I have enough night for two If I stay I become the thing that hunts you Then hunt the hours Not me When the sky goes wrong You lock the door When the sky goes wrong I will still be here That is not comfort That is fact [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] We only get the dark We only get the hours that will have us No chapel No forever Just the pact My hour My century We only get the dark And we take it We only get the dark [Outro] I will find you next moon I will be exactly where you left the night
