It's my dark loop...
I get my claws in you.
I rip your heart in two.
Then I get out my glue.
I stick the one half to a tree
as a warning to the others.
This is my territory.
It's my dark loop,
it's my dark loop...
Blood spills like holy water.
Fills the spaces between the bark.
Finds it's way to the forest floor and
pine needles and beetles...
I take the other half,
stick it right there in my pocket,
and crawl down in my hole.
I take it to my room.
I lay it on my bed,
heart-broken and red.
Still beating, half-dead,
sew it with my thread.
It's my dark loop...
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
It's my dark loop...
and my watchtower, too.
I built it with these hands.
I drew up these plans.
I worked it out in my head,
then laid it on my bed,
sewed it with my thread.
Now it's half a heart
and I have a heavy head.
It's my dark loop,
it's my dark loop...
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
What black magic have we conjured up here?
What black magic is this?
How have we ruined this foundation?
How could we ever fix this?
How could we ever fix this?
How could we??
Blood spills like holy water.
Pine needles and beetles...
It's my dark loop...
My eternal dupe.
My ever-flaming hoop.
It's my dark loop...
I told you 'bout the one half.
I told you 'bout the other.
But what I never said
was that there was another (and another)...
It's my dark loop,
it's my dark loop...
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
Silver fish when the lights come on.
What does it mean when I have
silver fish when the lights come on?
What does it mean?
