Lyrics

Come back news night, give me meaning. 
 Come back brother. 
 I want you to come back, night cap. 
 ‘Cause I lost my God. My God. 
  
 I asked for small relief, all I got was free will. 
 Set the table in mono. Want a drink, but not the bottle. 
 Pour a little out, for all the days I lost to, 
 Pour a little out for all the days I lost to misery, some small desire. 
 Misery, some small desire. 
 Relieve me. 
  
 I need a placebo. 
 I need water. 
 I need. I need. I need. 
  
 Come back news night, give me meaning. 
 Come back brother. Mmmm. 
 Come back, night cap. 
  ‘Cause I lost my God. My God. My God. My God. 
  
 I asked for small relief, all I got was free will. 
 Set the table in mono. Want a drink, but not the bottle. 
 Pour a little out, for all the days I lost to, 
 Pour a little out for all the days I lost to misery, some small desire. 
 Misery, some small desire. 
 Relieve me. 
 Relieve me. 
  
 Mmmhmmm. 
 Mmmhmmm. 
 Mmmhmmm. 
 Mmmhmmm. 
 Mmmhmmm. 
 Mmmhmmmhmmmm.
