lyrics

These words are overplayed
But I will scream them ’till the death of me
Because they’re all I have left to save a part of me

I am composed of mostly ghosts that haunt me
And they remind me what I am and what I won’t be
Now all that’s left are these ghosts of you and me
And all I know is I keep making the same mistakes
I can still see you through the darkness of my days

No matter how hard I try,
I sleep most nights with shadows behind my eyes

We crashed like thunder on the waves
And I drowned our hearts in all the sickness I could save
Words held hostage to the strain
And now I’m trying to scream underwater

I am composed of mostly ghosts that haunt me
And they remind me what I am and what I used to be
Now all that’s left are these ghosts of you and me
And all I know is I won’t make the same mistakes
I can still see you through the darkness of my days

No matter how hard I try,
I sleep most nights with shadows behind my eyes

I tied these anchors to our feet and let us slip into the sea
But when the waters grew too cold and the blues had turned to black
I cut my anchor loose and I kicked so fast

These words are overplayed
But I will scream them ’till the death of me
Because they’re all I have left to save a part of me
