Human Sacrifice (Original Demo) Lyrics

[Part I: Human Dilemma]

[Intro]
Why go to the party? Why go to the party?
Why go to the party at all?
Two shots and a body, two shots and a body
Two shots and a body involved
Where are those subtle men?
With the decency to might be wrong
Where are those winter girls?
Who corrected, say women
I'm sorry, forgiven

[Verse]
Open up your eyes
We are broken
Just enough to try and fix ourselves
We will not survive, in this jungle
All the stars call for a human sacrifice
We are unappreciated, over obligated
But our love is one of a kind
And this kindness is obliterated
They insinuated, that we won't go on

[Part II: Human Sacrifice]
[Verse 1]
I cannot explain the feeling of the lone
The loneliness
I cannot explain the feeling of the lone
The loneliness
I cannot explain the feeling of the lone
The loneliness
I cannot explain the feeling of the lone
The loneliness

[Pre-Chorus]
Secrets, heartbeat
Find you, lovely
Secrets, heartbeat
Find you, lovely

[Chorus]
Turn all the lights out
We shine brighter in the dark
We shine brighter in the dark
We shine brighter in the dark
Turn all the lights out
We shine brighter in the dark
We shine brighter in the dark
We shine brighter in the dark
[Bridge]
I'm hoping, praying, that we are together
No matter the weather
I get lost sometimes
I know it means that we are forever
But never means never
It's so hard to find

[Break]
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]
I cannot explain the feeling of alone
The loneliness
I cannot explain the feeling of alone
The loneliness
I cannot explain the feeling of alone
The loneliness
I cannot explain the feeling of alone
The loneliness (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
No, no, no, no way, I, oh (Secrets, heartbeat)
No, no, no, no way, I, oh (Find you, lovely)
No, no, no, no way, I, oh (Secrets, heartbeat, ay)
No, no, no, no way, I, oh (Find you, lovely)
[Chorus]
Turn all the lights out (Uh)
We shine brighter in the dark (Yeah)
We shine brighter in the dark (Uh)
We shine brighter in the dark
Turn all the lights out (Oooh)
We shine brighter in the dark (Yeah)
We shine brighter in the dark
We shine brighter in the dark

[Bridge]
I'm hoping, praying, that we are together
No matter the weather
I get lost sometimes
I know it means that we are forever
But never means never
It's so hard to find

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Oh, great spirit
Do you hear me? Do you love me?
Will you lift me up?
Oh, great spirit
Do you see me? Do you hear me?
Can you hold me up?
Oh, great spirit
Do you hear me? Do you love me?
Do you lift me up?
Oh, great spirit
Do you love me? Do you hear me?
Can you hear me now?

[Outro]
Oh, can you give me love? Can you send us love?
Cause we need you right now
Yes, we need you, we need your love
We are dying, we are suffering
Oh, we need you right no, oh, we need you spirit
Yes we need you right now, we don't know who we are
We have forgotten all your love, can you please come home?
Please come home
Please come home to us
And we need you right now
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, cause we need you
Oh, can you save us, can you save us from ourselves?
Can you save us?
Can you save us?
Oh yes my god!
Oh yes my lord!
Oh yes my spirit!
Oh yes my spirit!
You keep me, can you help us?
I need, I need you
Yes we need you
We just need you, we don't know
We don't know what we're doing down here
We don't know, we don't what we're doing down here
Our love lost
You were always lighting up my path
Please light my path
That's all I ask
That's all I ask
Please light my path
Please bring us home to you
Please bring us home to you
