Lyrics to Higher

You say you won't begin again

Capitulate and let me in

'Cause I am a fire and you are dry as bone

You are taking your time

You are killing me slow



And I know we instigate

Go back and forth

Lacerate

'Cause you can remember only when you're alone

I am granting you more than the debt that I owe



'Cause I look for scarlet

And you look for ultraviolet

And we are exhausted by all this pretending

We just can't resist the violence

And you need a melody, I only need the silence

But each time we battle

The blood and the fury takes us a little higher



With all that you believe you still refuse to shelter me

Because I am a danger and you're a long way from home

You are one among many but you're now on your own

And I hate the way you look at me when I am not understood

'Cause you can remember only when you're alone

I am granting you more than the debt that I owe



You won't begin again

You won't begin again

You won't begin again

You won't begin again



'Cause I look for scarlet

And you look for ultraviolet

And we are exhausted by all this pretending

We just can't resist the violence

And you need a melody, I only need the silence

But each time we battle

The blood and the fury takes us a little higher



The debt that I owe

The debt that I owe

The debt that I owe

The debt that I owe

The debt that I owe

The debt that I owe



The debt that I owe
