Lyrics

Cold sweats, I see moving shadows in my sleep
Cold hands, that I trust to pull out the deep
One day I pray I see the things that people see in me
Just so I could truly live in hope with my beliefs
It seems as if you only comfort me inside my dreams
I’d close my eyes forever so you wouldn’t have to leave
You left petaless flower, there’s no more love to seek
My heart is holding on to something that could never be
Nothing’s gonna set me free, I lost my voice of reason
That’s why it’s hard to make my peace with all the broken pieces
Reaching for a place I know I’ll never reach
Tryna be somebody that I’ll never be
Because I’ve always been my biggest enemy
I saw the very best of me get torn apart
The voices start to quiet down, I think it’s getting dark
If you listen closer, you can hear the violence in my heart
A sense of hatred that I couldn’t carry at the start
But we have to play our parts
It’s like it follows me
Where I sleep, where I eat, in my dreams
And when I’m down bad, it’s taunting me
It’s haunting me, it’s haunting me
Now I can’t even crawl back to the place that I’m from, It’s been so long
I left without a goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I can feel a presence that’s been sleeping my sheets
I get ghostly kisses every time I fall asleep
Crosses on my wall that couldn’t even keep the peace
I feel safer knowing there’s a piece inside my fleece
Somebody’s walking past my windows like they’re stalking
Nobody’s in this room but I hear people talking
Boy I’m tweaking, I was reaching, ready to pop shit
But like the money in my safe I keep it locked in
We, hearing the call’s not dropping, is somebody plotting
Then on my door there knocking, but it’s not stopping
The remorse has got me curled up in a ball on the floor
So If a séance marks another call, let it go
