lyrics

LEAVE THIS GHOST ALONE

Drowned my lies in the sink,
Skirling off to the unknown
Wash off those faces, Wash off those faces
And leave this ghost alone
Skin that's wrong
Grows too long
The smell of it's in my throat

I dig in these nails,
And I harden my scales
And I try to find a new home
There ain't no end in sight
No hand holding my light
And I wash the stains
But the lie will always remain
There ain't no door at the end of this hall
No shining light to answer this call
And I washoff those faces,
Wash off those traces
And the memories they imply

There ain't no light in these eyes
And I hold on, hold on to this
There ain't no lie in these eyes
And I hold on, hold on this
Drowned my lies in the sink,
Skirling off to the unknown
Wash off those faces, Wash off those faces
And leave this ghost alone
