pierce the veil - one hundred sleepless nights [slowed + reverb]

"This song is about watching the one that you love move further and further away from you, and all because of things that neither of you can control. The lyrics are pretty literal and describe a night that I will remember for the rest of my life. Everything changed after that night and it's left me pretty confused and unsatisfied."

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I can't wait to see your brilliant face
Light up the room around the pillowcase
She said, "Can you come over to my LA place
I got something to tell you and it just can't wait"

[Verse 2]
When I showed up, you held the door in tears
Sat on the couch under the chandeliers
You said you're having a baby and before I could cry
You're leaving me just when I thought you were mine

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I don't see your face
Taken by the one-hearted race
Oh no, don't tell your other man
I got a hell of a plan

[Chorus]
Failing lights amass one hundred sleepless nights
And I might be holding on too tight
But there's a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

[Verse 3]
Nightmares no longer wait for sleep
Crawl on the ground on both your hands and knees
Just like a lion and you're the queen of the pride
And we will feast together till the bones are gone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I don't see your face (oh, no)
Taken by the one hearted-race
Oh, now, don't tell your other man
He’s not part of the plan

[Chorus]
Failing lights amass one hundred sleepless nights
And I might be holding on too tight
But there's a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

[Bridge]
Do you still love me? I am dying to know
Or did you forget what we shared?
Out of sight, out of mind, I was never even there

[Chorus]
Failing lights amass one hundred sleepless nights
And I might be holding on too tight
But there's a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

[Outro]
This is the price you'll pay
Thoughts in your head that will never die
So don't you forget what we had
It's like I was never even there
Go!
