lyrics
Each night I lie awake
Completely alone
A voice is speaking, and I tremble
For it's not my own
My own
I can't ignore it
Although I try
The intrusive whisper fascinates me
Here's why
Here's why
The shadows gather 'round as the voice recites
The secret history of my immortal soul
Indestructible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
10,000 years of unerasable acts
And permanent facts
The record of my
Unspeakable crimes
In previous lives
In previous times
Indelibly stains
The pages of history
Indestructible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
Night after night the voice recites my misdeeds
And puts me to sleep
And tells me I won't
Remember a thing
When morning comes at last
I rub my eyes
Forgetting everything and thinking
Only of my plans
My plans
The world is spinning 'round and I'm on the top
And nothing in the world can ever make me stop
Indestructible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
10,000 years of unerasable acts
And permanent facts
And only I know
Who's responsible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
Me
This is the greatest album of all time. Every track is so perfectly placed together, are so brilliantly written and it all hits so hard and feels amazing on my ears. The album art looks so fun and creative, and Eyewishes is the best lemon demon song ever. 12/10 album. Fennec
