Give up the Ghost

These the hands that have always held me From the cradle down to the floor The soul that you've passed on to me Won't you tell me what it's for It's like I've harnessed myself To nothing as the skin starts to peel off My blood is a raging river Surging through my veins Better give up the ghost before it wakes When you act like I'm nothing to you Make me feel like I've been replaced I could tear you apart Leave a brand new scar Better give up the ghost before it wakes Give up the ghost before it wakes There's an ending on the horizon I'll be here after you are gone To shower you with black roses And I will bury you with my love Better give up the ghost before it wakes Give up the ghost before it wakes
