I’m alone with these
Screaming ghosts
They creep through the shadows, yeah
Find me when I’m lost and
Lost and feed
And tell me what I can’t be, I can’t be
ahhhh
And tell me what I can’t be, I can’t be
You’re among lying bones
Glowing eyes and teeth
They’ll salt your wounds
and leave the truth untold
You have to let them go
Losing life, they tear you down
Hold you back and spin you ‘round
You’re losing time, you’ve lost yourself
You have to let them go
You have to let them go
I see their silhouettes on the walls
My brain does pirouettes ‘til I fall
Let them drag my skin and bones
Through the rain
Afraid I think I’m starting to decay
Ahhhh
Afraid I think I’m starting to decay
You’re among lying bones
Glowing eyes and teeth
They’ll salt your wounds
and leave the truth untold
You have to let them go
Losing life, they tear you down
Hold you back and spin you ‘round
You’re losing time you’ve lost yourself
You have to let them go
I wanna hold on, hold on, hold on
I can’t just let go, let go, let go
I’ll learn to be honest on my own
Woah, woah
With fingers crossed
Behind my back
Woah, woah
Hold on, hold on, hold on…
You’re among lying bones
Glowing eyes and teeth
They’ll salt your wounds
and leave the truth untold
You have to let them go
Losing life, they tear you down
Hold you back and spin you ‘round
You’re losing time you’ve lost yourself
You have to let them go
I wanna hold on, hold on, hold on
I can’t just let go, let go, woah woah
I’ll learn to be honest on my own
Let it go…
