[Verse 1]
Hold your hands out to me
Touch a tender suffering
Hammering pulse fills an otherwise empty morning
I go running, running
World's a curse, get lost in
Roads are yawning, stretch across me now
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been blacking out, but I will come back changed
You recall the soul, and I'll recall the body
Soft feet searching on, a kind anger is lurking
I've been blacking out, but I will come back changed
[Chorus]
Oh, the long night
Is a bruise upon me, move upon me
I was already lost
It doesn't answer to me, nothing hear me
Oh, the long night
Is a bruise upon me, move upon me
I was already lost
It doesn't answer to me, nothing hear me
[Verse 2]
Warm, defiant, lonely
Shields to hold me, hold me
Spoken perfectly, my ringing ears
Play my dreams for omens
Replay, searching, hoping
Fevers oil me down then burn us out
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been blacking out, but I will come back changed
You recall the soul, and I'll recall the body
Soft feet searching on, a kind anger is lurking
I've been blacking out, but I will come back changed
[Chorus]
Oh, the long night
Is a bruise upon me, move upon me
I was already lost
It doesn't answer to me, nothing hear me
Oh, the long night
Is a bruise upon me, move upon me
I was already lost
It doesn't answer to me, nothing hear me
[Outro]
Oh, the long night
I was already lost
