Artist: Halsey
Track: Coming Down
Lyrics
I found God
I found him in a lover
When his hair falls in his face
And his hands so cold they shake
I found the Devil
I found him in a lover
And his lips like tangerine
In his color coded speak
Now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets
I've got a lover a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
I found a martyr
He told me that I'd never
With his educated eyes
And his head between my thighs
I found a savior
I don't think he remembers
'Cause he's off to pay his crimes
And he's got no time for mine
Now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets
I've got a lover a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Every single night pray the sun will rise
Every single time make a compromise
Every single night pray the sun will rise, but
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
I've got a lover a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
Every single night pray the sun will rise
Every single time make a compromise
Every single night pray the sun will rise, but
He's coming down, down, I'm coming down
He's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
He's coming down, down, I'm coming down
It's coming down, down, I'm coming down
He's coming down, down, I'm coming down
