[Verse 1] Fresh coat of daylight Peel it Scrape that sunshine off the wall Every color makes me seasick White ceilings Make my dirty thoughts feel small I got a bucket full of bad ideas Dripping on your pastel floor Roll it slow across your bright veneer Watch it Watch it want some more (yeah) [Chorus] Paint it blacker Till the last little flicker gives in Paint it blacker Let the windows confess our sin Cover every corner Smother every shimmer Every crack Paint it blacker Blacker Blacker Till the world stops looking back [Verse 2] Take your pretty little picture frames Turn the flowers into mold Glossy smiles All your perfect names Look better When the faces drown in cold Blot out the hallway Stain the stairs Trace my fingers through the wet Write a promise in the midnight there You’ll feel more When there’s nothing left to get (oh yeah) [Chorus] Paint it blacker Till the last little flicker gives in Paint it blacker Let the windows confess our sin Cover every corner Smother every shimmer Every crack Paint it blacker Blacker Blacker Till the world stops looking back [Bridge] [Bass and theremin grind Tempo lurching] Lean in closer Can you taste the dark on my tongue Every shadow that we roll over Got me coming Coming undone There’s a heat in the hiding When the room forgets your face Lose the shape of your own body Just the breath Just the breath and my embrace Low light liar Promise me you’ll never turn it on Leave us buried in the quiet Where the wrong we want Is the only dawn [Chorus] Paint it blacker Till the last little flicker gives in Paint it blacker Let the windows confess our sin Cover every corner Smother every shimmer Every crack Paint it blacker Blacker Blacker (till we never, ever) Till the world stops looking back
