Hell Villanelle lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's more paradise in hell than we've been told

Every step we take, we start from blue

Lie down and bleed into the water hole

[Chorus]

That's what you came for, isn't it?

[Verse 2]

And so the night in time, it will unfold

Curled up inside my palm and sleeping too

There's more paradise in hell than we've been told

[Chorus]

That's what you came for, isn't it?

Isn't it?

[Verse 3]

From your lashes tumbles small stars of gold

Star lashes, little splashes of dew

Spill across the world and through my soul, come on

[Chorus]

It's what you came for isn't it?

[Verse 4]

Call your tiny animals to the drinking hole

Little cat, little bear, little fire horse, little kangaroo

There's more paradise in hell than we've been told

[Chorus]

That's what you came for, isn't it?

That's what you came for, isn't it?

That's what you came for, isn't it?

That's what you came for

Little cat, little fire horse with a shivering foal
