lyrics

LET ME TAKE YOU TO THE GHOSTS

I can see the signals in your eyes
I can hear the words you do not say
I can hear the singing in your blood
You give yourself away, you give yourself away

CHORUS
Let me take you to the ghosts
I know you want to see them
That’s the only way you’ll be free of them
Let me lead you through the dark
Until it doesn’t surprise you
I’ll always be the one to recognize you

We don’t need to say their names out loud
All the ones that brought us to this day
We’ll pull them from the shadows with our songs
And the games we play, and the games we play…

CHORUS

I can see the signals in your eyes, I can hear the words you do not say
I can hear the singing in your blood
You give yourself away, you give yourself away
