“Sadist is a shadier, more enveloping song that covers you like a creeping shadow. The music is indicative of the lyrical content, which deals with last temptations and the strange sadness that exists when moving away pleasurable but ultimately destructive...
[Verse 1]
Withering eyes catch you as you fall
A bitter sigh, no one moves at all
Let me in for one more long disgrace
Just forget the same distractions you refuse to face
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We both know that it's gone...
But what if no one knows
No one knows
To remember why it's wrong?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
This is all the pain a man can take
This is how a broken heart still breaks
[Chorus]
I don't need much to show you
Only enough to control you
Bury your head inside this
And gather the darkness that binds it
I think I'll die if you deny me
Swallowed alive in eternity
Give me a way to be the agony
That knew you all along...
[Verse 2]
Push it down and hide me from this waste
Don't hold back; I'd kill to take your place
Tell me a lie... Tell me you don't care
Just forget a storm is coming, just forget you're scared
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We both know how this ends...
But what if no one knows
No one knows
How to kill us in the end?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
This is all you need for who you are
This is how a good man goes too far
[Chorus]
I don't need much to show you
Only enough to control you
Bury your head inside this
And gather the darkness that binds it
I think I'll die if you deny me
Swallowed alive in eternity
Give me a way to be the agony
That knew you all along...
[Pre-Chorus]
This is all the pain a man can take
This is how the blackest heart can break
[Chorus]
I don't need much to show you
Only enough to control you
Bury your head inside this
And gather the darkness that binds it
I think I'll die if you deny me
Swallowed alive in eternity
Give me a way to be the agony
That knew you all along...
[Outro]
I've known you all along
I've known you all along
