Higher Lyrics
You say you won't begin again
Capitulate and let me in
'Cause I am a fire and you are dry as bone
You are taking your time
You are killing me slow
And I know we instigate
Go back and forth
Lacerate
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe
'Cause I look for scarlet
And you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher
With all that you believe you still refuse to shelter me
Because I am a danger and you're a long way from home
You are one among many but you're now on your own
And I hate the way you look at me when I am not understood
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
'Cause I look for scarlet
And you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
Capitulate and let me in
'Cause I am a fire and you are dry as bone
You are taking your time
You are killing me slow
Go back and forth
Lacerate
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe
And you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher
Because I am a danger and you're a long way from home
You are one among many but you're now on your own
And I hate the way you look at me when I am not understood
'Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
You won't begin again
And you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending
We just can't resist the violence
And you need a melody, I only need the silence
But each time we battle
The blood and the fury takes us a little higher
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe
The debt that I owe

This song is about a man and a woman who are on fire for eachother but the woman is either drug addicted or he has hurt or "bit" her. In doing so she has lost trust or shes on a bender and only remembers him when shes alone.
This couple can only seem to bond through arguments and provoking each other. A toxic relationship maybe, that seems long withstanding and has made them rely on eachother while taking eachother for granted.
