Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever keeps you from the cold
Whatever tears you from the light
Whatever gets you low
Whatever shields you from the storm
Whatever keeps you feeling whole
Whatever leaves you feeling warm
I'll be anything you ask me to
I'll give you anything
If you can take the pain
Of all this living away
Bring me a new pain
Wipe out the old pain
I'll be anything
I'll do anything
Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever keeps you from the cold
Whatever tears you from the light
I need a new drug
Cause all the old drugs
They started feeling the same
I need a new man
With a firmer hand
And you don't even have to know my name
I'll be anything you ask me to
When the day is done
When I'm back out on the run
I'll be the one
When the day is done
When I'm back out on the run
I'll be the one who used you more
When the day is done (whatever gets you through the night)
When I'm back out on the run (whatever keeps you from the cold)
I'll be the one (whatever steals you from the light, whatever gets you low)
When the day is done (whatever gets you through the night)
When I'm back out on the run (whatever keeps you from the cold)
I'll be the one (whatever steals you from the light)
I'll be the one who used you more
I need a new drug
Cause all the old drugs
They started feeling the same
I need a new man
With a firmer hand
And you don't have to know me
I need a new drug
Cause all the old drugs
They started feeling the same
I need a new man
With a firmer hand
And you don't even have to know my name
I'll be anything you ask me to

Little darling
I will cut you in the night
I will leave you where you fall
Little darling
I will steal you from the light
And I will leave you
Oh my darling
I will bleed you in the night
And you will lie right where you fall
Little darling
With your eyes all shut so tight
They will never hear you call
Little darling
I will cut you in the night
I will leave you where you fall
Little darling
I will steal you from the light
And I will leave you
I will throw you to the ground
I will peel you from your skin
I will lock your pain inside of me
I will climb inside your bones
I will eat your will to live
Can't you see?
You can leave me but I'll never leave you
Little darling
I will leave where you fall

There was a night
I walked away
From every truth I'd ever known
I followed the light til I found my way
I built this universe alone
I am the force that brings the flood
The fury of waves you can't control
I am the debt you left unpaid
I'm coming home now, I'll swallow you whole
The one who walked alone
No longer on my own
There is a price we all must pay
When we choose to take the smoother road
I am the darkness that breaks the day
I am the lesson you will learn
I am the storm, I leave light in my wake
The child of the witch you didn't burn
The one who walks alone
Watch your ass, I'm coming home

And I left you lying there, alone
In your own sweet blood
Til the eagles took your stare
And your bones all turned to mud
And I said little girl, baby girl, darling girl
Your mother's come
To take you home
Little girl, baby girl, darling girl
Now you'll never
Be alone
And I left you lying there
And I left you lying there
And I left you lying there, alone
‘Cause I've been buried in wicked light for too long
I've been buried, I've been buried for so long
I've been buried in wicked light for too long
You know the pull is just too strong
So it goes, the life I know
Is headed for the end of the road
So they say, we all must face the day alone
At the end of the road
Turn away, just turn away and go
It's the end of the road
It's the end, it's the end, it's the end
Of the road

Today an old lover passed me by
I was waiting on the train
I can still feel his hand along my thigh
But I can't recall his namep
He said girl, I haven't seen you in a while
Are you at the same old game?
I said boy, you couldn't catch me if you tried
But I'm running all the same
They'll only tell you
They'll only tell you
They'll only tell you
Throw your money on the ground
I ran out to my papa
He said girl, you got to make it on your own
For I awoke an old man
And now it's been a lifetime since you've grown
If you insist on running down these roads
That take you far from home
Don't you come a knocking when you wake up
And find yourself alone
They'll only tell you
They'll only tell you
They'll only tell you
Throw your money on the ground
I ran out to the desert
To see if I could find my own way home
When I got there, the mountains were on fire
And the fields were made of stone
Out of the ashes came a man
Stumbling and alone
And he said, what a sight for my sore eyes
I've just lost the only home I've ever known
In I said, even when these walls fall down
At least you have a place to call your home
Even when these walls fall down
At least you have a place to call your own
Even when these walls fall down
At least you have a place to lay your bones
They'll only tell you
They'll only tell you
They'll only tell you
Throw your money on the ground

And I went down to the valley
And I laid your bones to rest
You never told me what you wanted
But Lord knows I've done my best
And I went down to the valley
Like I promised I would go
And I like to think you were waiting there
But you know, and I know, we'll never know for sure
I'll see you again, when the flood clears
But what about all these years
With the storm just rolling in
I'll see you again, when the flood clears
I'll sail through this fear
Like a ship without a port
And I went out to the desert
And I laid my head to rest
And I tried my best to make the shaking stop
To find the grace of God
To do what must come next
I'll see you again, when the flood clears
But what about all these years
With the storm just rolling in
I'll see you again, when the flood clears
I'll sail through this fear
Like a ship without a port
And I walked down to main street
Of this goddamn tiny town
Packed your things and drove east to the river with my sister
And prayed to God that we would drown somehow
Got back to the city, and nobody missed me
And I tried my damndest to breathe
Got hit in the street by a man younger than me
Who said ‘this land is my land now, and you have to leave’
So release me
won't you release me
Release me
Oh God, release me
Won't you let me go
I can't watch this anymore
So release me
won't you release me
Oh God, release me
Release me
Won't you let me go
