about

Starts out spooky. Then the rock happens.
My brother, Chen, likes this song.
You might, too.

lyrics

That's not the case my love
go make a mess I wanna see
and if you fight me blind tonight
don't ask one last promise I'll never keep
don't ask one last promise

Who's in the past now
it wasn't that bad... yet
you thought that was a good idea
a winner that you had
it's mining on my dark curiosity

the worse you get, the closer I watch
the worse you get, the closer I watch
I can't help myself: a moth to the torch
the worse you got the closer I was

you think you know me better
the worse you get, the closer I watch
