Take my hand now steady
When you’re good and ready
Baby mind your footing
My terrain is deadly

I can see my city falling
While he goes on dancing
And I’m down here crawling
He spends the night enchanting

See there’s a man in my skin
He sleeps in my thoughts
He fights with my fists
He’d like to see me fuck off

But I’ve been waiting for ya
I’ve been bracing for ya
The dark beside the dawn
I hold ya ’til you’re gone
If I could save it for ya
I’d embrace it for ya
The dark beside the dawn
Goes on and on and on

I got this contagion
It’s parasitic
Now baby run when I run
‘Cause I’m afraid he’s winning
There’s been a hostile conquer
There’s been a cold injection
You better run for cover
It’s for your own protection

But I’ve been waiting for ya
I’ve been bracing for ya
The dark beside the dawn
I hold ya ’til you’re gone
If I could save it for ya
I’d embrace it for ya
The dark beside the dawn
Goes on and on and on

But I’ve been waiting for ya
I’ve been bracing for ya
The dark beside the dawn
I hold ya ’til you’re gone
If I could save it for ya
I’d embrace it for ya
The dark beside the dawn
Goes on and on and on
