[Verse 1]
I found God, I found him in a lover
When his hair falls in his face
And his hands so cold they shake
I found the devil, found him in a lover
And his lips like tangerines
In his color-coded speak

[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets

[Chorus]
I've got a lover, a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
He's coming down, down, coming down
I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this pricе
He's coming down, down, coming down

[Verse 2]
I found a martyr, he told me that I'd nеver
With his educated eyes
And his head between my thighs
I found a savior, I don't think he remembers
'Cause he's off to pay his crimes
And he's got no time for mine

[Pre-Chorus]
But now we're lost somewhere in outer space
In a hotel room where demons play
They run around beneath our feet
We roll around beneath these sheets

[Chorus]
I've got a lover, a love like religion
I'm such a fool for sacrifice
He's coming down, down, coming down
I've got a lover and I'm unforgiven
I'm such a fool to pay this price
It's coming down, down, coming down

[Outro]
Every single night pray the sun will rise
Every single time make a compromise
Every single night pray the sun will rise, but
Oh, he's coming down, down, coming down
He's coming down, down, coming down
Oh, he's coming down, down, coming down
Oh, he's coming down, down, coming down

[Spoken Outro]
That's one of my favorites songs on the album

Halsey is the stage name of New Jersey singer Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. It is an anagram of her first name and reference to the Halsey Street subway stop and street in Brooklyn where she used to live. The bio on her website

I am Halsey. I will never be anything but honest. I write songs about sex and being sad."

Halsey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was 17. This has greatly influenced her creative process from the start of her career. Songs like “Control” and “Gasoline” explicitly delve into her psychological and emotional battles. Manic, Halsey’s third album and arguably her rawest and most emotionally vulnerable, was written in a fully manic state rather than a depressive one.
