Ghosts

I wish I knew the bite before howling at your door
I wish I knew the claws before settling the score
Covered bodies under rocks and drowned under the docks
Blood under your nails remove the keys from every lock
We can take as long to reach the bottom, we can take as long to swoon
I know a promised to stand strong under full moon
We sang ourselves to sleep with forked tongues
We sang ourselves to sleep
Ghosts too heavy for my hands, I’m seeing red
By everything we’ve said and you’ve let go
Ghosts too heavy for my hands, I’m seeing red
I’m seeing red and you’ve let go
We drank from the same cup but only turned just one of us
Broke trust, felt lust, grinding old bones into the dust
I wish I could’ve kept you safe I was scared, scarred and unprepared
For what is done to you you transformed and I just stared
We can take as long to reach the bottom, we can take as long to swoon
I know a promised to stand strong under full moon
We sang ourselves to sleep with forked tongues
We sang ourselves to sleep
Ghosts too heavy for my hands, I’m seeing red
By everything we’ve said and you’ve let go
Ghosts too heavy for my hands, I’m seeing red
I’m seeing red and you’ve let go
Bright stars and dark holes crawl into new life
Can’t turn a banshee into a bride a wolf into a wife
Shape-shift, change place, fangs out, unsafe, grow wings, take flight
Crush everything in sight
Ghosts too heavy for my hands, I’m seeing red
By everything we’ve said and you’ve let go
Ghosts too heavy for my hands, I’m seeing red
I’m seeing red and you’ve let go
Shape-shift, change place, fangs out, unsafe, grow wings, take flight
Crush everything in sight
