Try to get inside my head
All the windows are
Painted shut
Take your horse to
My water to drink
I’m not the gift that you think
Cross my name off the devil’s
To do list
Burn every page
In that little black book
And we’re praying it remains
in the mouth of God
You’ve got cracks
In your magic
And blood on your hands
I’m the one
The one that you
Left behind
I wish I knew you
Knew you when
You were alive
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die
It’s not costume
Not how I wanted to die
Cross my name off the devil’s
To do list
Burn every page
In that little black book
And we’re praying it remains
in the mouth of God
You’ve got cracks
In your magic
And blood on your hands
I’m the one
The one that you
Left behind
I wish I knew you
Knew you when
You were alive
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die
It’s not costume
Not how I wanted to die
I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away
I’m the one
The one that you
Left behind
I wish I knew you
Knew you when
You were alive
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die
It’s not costume
Not how I wanted to die
I’ll break your sunshine
I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away
