[Verse 1]
Sitting
Under my blue sky of deception
The colors run every time it rains
Wrought
Brought forth
Fashioned from inception
My own hands, and I take all the blame

[Chorus]
As the light goes out
Darkness with her bated breath
Waits out on periphery
Of the campfire
Decadence and violence
We do best, we do best
We do best
We do best
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Burned out
Face-down in the gutter
Lowest point I could find to ground zero
Roll back
Alibis and skies are crushing
Do we paint with much too black a brush?
[Chorus]
As the light goes out
Darkness with her bated breath
Waits out on periphery
Of the campfire
Decadence and violence
We do best, we do best
We do best
We do best
Oh, oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Rock and roll
What is it anymore?
Youth profound or profane to endure
Passion in the back seat or
At the foot of the cross
Going, going, gone, and finally lost

[Chorus]
If the light goes out
Darkness with her bated breath
Waits out on periphery
Of the campfire
Decadence and violence
We do best, we do best
We do best
We do best
Oh, oh
We do best
We do best
We do best
Oh, oh
We do best
