[Verse 1]
Moonlight cuts like a leather strap
Whiskey breath on the devil’s back
Your silk dress torn on the hardwood floor
I own this night, you’re beggin’ for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Chains on the bedpost, shadows get loud
Feel that darkness tremblin’ under my mouth
[Chorus]
Fuck the dark away, baby, ride it slow
Let me bury the pain where the wild things grow
Skin on skin, curse in your ear
I’ll fuck the dark away, baby, disappear
Fuck the dark away, fuck the dark away
Till the only thing left is the light that we make
[Verse 2]
Your nails draw blood like a rusty blade
I flip you over, call you my slave
Thunder outside, thunder in your veins
Every thrust chases the ghosts from your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Blindfold tight, heartbeat in my hand
You scream my name like you finally understand
[Chorus]
Fuck the dark away, baby, ride it slow
Let me bury the pain where the wild things grow
Skin on skin, curse in your ear
I’ll fuck the dark away, baby, disappear
Fuck the dark away, fuck the dark away
Till the only thing left is the light that we make
[Bridge]
(softer, intimate, almost whispered growl)
I see the broken in your eyes
Let me break you better, baptize you in fire
No salvation, just salvation between your thighs
[Final Chorus – big drop, full belt]
Fuck the dark away, baby, harder, deeper
Scream it to the rafters, wake up the reaper
We’re the sin, we’re the cure, we’re the flame
Fuck the dark away till the morning comes ashamed
Fuck the dark away… fuck the dark away…
[Outro]
(breathy, fading under heavy beat)
Baby… I fucked the dark away…
