[Verse 1]
Head in the oven
Didn't sound so crazy
My brain was burning
Hot to the touch
Lithium readings
Making me dizzy
But they keep my feelings
Simmering low
[Verse 2]
It’s darkness forever
A cold sinking ocean
I want to feel the
Warm of release
The devil is chasing
Hot on my tail and
Trying to struggle
Out of his leash
[Verse 3]
Words from an artist
Killed by her inside
She tried to set the
Evil on fire
It's warm in the kitchen
Like hot sticky summer
The demons are rising
Up with the smoke

On a song like “Darkness Forever,” I really wanted to capture that creeping feeling. When I was writing the lyrics, I had this image in my mind of burning down this house to expel all of the demons. I wanted to get that on-edge paranoia.
