[Verse 1]
I'm asking for it
Not worried 'bout my reputation
I'm begging for it
A hazard of the occupation
You can blame me for it
I'm worried that it's gone too far now
I'm sleeping in it
I never asked for your protection
But I'm asking for it

[Chorus]
Cover me when darkness bleeds in
'Cause it's all I've ever known
I'm fine with all these cuts not healing
'Cause it's all I've ever known
Cover me in the silence you left
Cover me up in what you never said
Cover me when darkness bleeds in
'Cause it's all I've ever known

[Post-Chorus]
The fire or the flood
I'm asking for it

[Verse 2]
I got used to the isolation
Was begging for it
Uh, it feels more like my insulation
My secret habit
I'm worried that I like this too much
Can't get enough of it
I never ever asked you to save me
But I'm asking for it
[Chorus]
Cover me when darkness bleeds in
'Cause it's all I've ever known
I'm fine with all these cuts not healing
'Cause it's all I've ever known
Cover me in the silence you left
Cover me up in what you never said
Cover me when darkness bleeds in
'Cause it's all I've ever known

[Post-Chorus]
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Hear the silence, can't hear the silence
I can hear the silence, can't hear the silence
I can hear the silence, can't hear the silence
I can hear the silence, can't hear the silence
I can hear

[Chorus]
Cover me when darkness bleeds in
'Cause it's all I've ever known
I'm fine with all these cuts not healing
'Cause it's all I've ever known
Cover me in the silence you left
And then cover me up in what you never said
Cover me when darkness bleeds in
'Cause it's all I've ever known
[Post-Chorus]
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood

[Outro]
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood
The fire or the flood
