Scratching Eyes Out

[verse 1 - hushed keys, harmonium drone rising] Scratching eyes out Much too much to see All the evil things In your hands set free Hearts stop beating Anxieties racing wild You don't deserve The steps you've compiled [chorus - ghost vocoder, falsetto harmonies swell] Evil lurks wherever you go Darkness flows from your veins below Every time they try to cut you down You rise up from the underground [verse 2 - modular synth pulses, fragile falsetto] Poison dripping from your smile Leaving wreckage mile by mile Every promise that you break Leaves another soul to shake [chorus - detached delivery, layers of echoing voices] Evil lurks wherever you go Darkness flows from your veins below Every time they try to cut you down You rise up from the underground [bridge - harmonium and vocoder swell, tempo drifts] No redemption in your eyes Just a web of twisted lies The damage that you've done Can never be undone [final chorus - falsetto stretching, descending synth line] Evil lurks wherever you go Darkness flows like undertow Every time they try to cut you down You crawl back from the underground [from the underground - whispered, vocoder fractured] You never stay down... [fade into silence]
