Lyrics
I feel like a
Sentient black hole
Gravity is killing me
Why can't I let go?
And i know the world
Owes me nothing
I've got this dread
That's as old as my bones
Where can I run
That this pain cannot go
How can I hide
When it's all that I know
Bloodstains on floorboards
It's written in stone
But I don't want to be an angry ghost
Have i drifted
Too far from the shore?
My tears turn black
As they drip from my eyes
When my bones forget
How to speak
I think ill still remember
How to cry
Where can I run
That this pain cannot go
How can I hide
When it's all that I know
Bloodstains on floorboards
It's written in stone
But I don't want to be an angry ghost
And i'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
Of what i could be
I'm not okay
Not okay
Not okay
They see right through me
And i don't want
To haunt
Anyone else how my own reflection haunts me
Where can I run
That this pain cannot go
How can I hide
When it's all that I know
Bloodstains on floorboards
It's written in stone
But I don't want to be an angry ghost
