“When They Come For You” explains James Cullen’s anxieties seem to manifest themselves into something more carnal as he breathlessly pleads for a lover to “Collapse into my arms and escape with me.”
Being trapped, but coming to love the bad things about someone. Being delusional and tricking yourse...
[Verse 1]
You took me from the world
Maybe you didn’t think that I would see them again
Can't let me go
I’ve seen your face
Did you plan it out?
When you bound me to the bed, baby I'll restrain
I’m not in pain
I’ve seen your shame before
You’re the captor, I’m the captive
I'm what silk is to satin
You’re the way out, and I’m the way in
I’m complacent, I’m the taken
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, collapse into my arms and escape with me
Oh, you and me
Worlds apart
We’re different entities
[Chorus]
We’re crawling over hot coals, blood-soaked
Pain is our remedy
Ice cold, real slow
Love with the enemy
If I know that you know
They will come for you
[Verse 2]
Don’t you cut me loose
I’ve grown fond of the fear
And the risk that you put me in
I'm motionless, in the evening light
When you hand me in
Will I lose you to something much bigger than us?
I'm a volunteer
I could disappear for you
Tighten my chains
You fan my flame
You took me physically
I’m yours so willingly
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, collapse into my arms and escape with me
Oh, you and me
Worlds apart
We’re different entities
[Chorus]
We’re crawling over hot coals, blood-soaked
Pain is our remedy
Ice cold, real slow
Love with the enemy
If I know that you know
They will come for you
[Outro]
Mmm, mmm, when they come for you
Mmm, mmm, when they come for you
Mmm, mmm, when they come for you
Mmm, mmm, when they come for you
