nihilist blues lyrics

[Verse 1: Oli Sykes]

I've been climbing up the walls

To escape the sinking feeling

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door

Buried in the basement floor

Didn't know what I had planted

It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm the ashes in the plume

I'm a beggar in the ruin

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the true

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

[Bridge: Grimes]

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

Sink to the floor, I sink to the floor

I sink to the floor

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

[Verse 2: Grimes]

You were in my dream last night

But your face was someone else's

A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder

Isolation neophyte

Too afraid to taste your conscience

You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm the ashes in the plume

I'm a beggar in the ruin

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the true

[Chorus: Grimes]

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

[Outro: Oli Sykes]

I've been climbing up the walls

To escape the sinking feeling

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
