Virtue - Bloc Party

Temptation hides

In the space between

Lord, help me fight

This desire for fire

Words can cleanse and purify

Or tear down a pack of lies

In your presence, consequence

I can’t stop trembling

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

For all my good fortune

I would change my place with you

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

Once in a while

The urge resurfaces

So we split hairs

As rumours circulate

And there’s a need to fertilise

Behind my lover’s trusting eye

Like water drops on burning warts

I can’t stop trembling

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

For all my good fortune

I would change my place with you

This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

For all of my virtue

Why can I not hold the truth?

I’ve fallen

I’ve fallen again

I’ve fallen

I’ve fallen again

I’ve fallen

I’ve fallen again

I’ve fallen
