Lyrics[]
[Verse]
Friends of mine
We're in the prime of our lives
I think it's high time your self preservation
Met my rising sun
Overnight
Strange overtones bring everything to life
Behind his back I use invisible ink
Color outside the lines with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Wide awake, I'm afraid in my body
Headless behavior, I want you to stop me
All of the sick twisted things I should swallow
[Chorus]
Let the bodies move, we'll sing the incantation
Fallin' right into you, choose pleasure over patience
Is this a mistake? The right thing to do?
Holdin' hands with my angels
I let them choose
Let the bodies move, give into this temptation
Fallin' right into you, choose pleasure over patience
Is this a mistake? The right thing to do?
Holdin' hands with my angels
I let them choose
[Post-Chorus]
Believe in my angels
I let them choose
Headless behaviour
