Lyrics Old Crows - Brightwell, Michael Bohn

Old Crows

This isn’t how I would like things to be when I’m
Sensing right from wrong.
But you’re never going
To contemplate that the past is just hunting me
From now on.
How am I supposed to move along
With the worlds eyes that capture all of my
Wrongs?
Let me go through the darkness tonight, let me go
Through the darkness on my own tonight
Somebody please help me set this feeling fucking
Free
Defy your ghost, let it walk away.
We have to let it
Walk away, 'cause we cannot let this choose our
Fate.
This cycle holds your failures that won’t let
Go, they won’t let go
Is this how it should be?
Tables turning 'cause the
Bridge is burned and you’re never going to be a
Part of me you filthy bitch
This is the day that I gave up everything.
An
Adversary of my past, the enemy.
But your spirit
Still lingers.
I saw your demise, I watched you die
And now it’s time I set your soul free.
I couldn’t get
It out, it’s still under my skin.
I feel it crawling, it’s
Running through my veins.
How could I let this in
Defy your ghost, let it walk away.
We have to let it
Walk away, 'cause we cannot let this choose our
Fate.
This cycle holds your failures that won’t let
Go, they won’t let go
And now we’ll go our separate ways, from the
Shallow hole we call our faith
This shallow hole we call our faith
The things that I thought I could leave behind are
Just keeping me from myself
Defy your ghost, let it walk away.
We have to let it
Walk away, 'cause we cannot let this choose our
Fate.
This cycle holds your failures that won’t let
Go, they won’t let go
