There's an echo
when you speak
but it won't
put you down.
All the ghosts
in the room
can't take a hold
of your arm.
the quietest steps
only whispering voices
a night will come
for us to live with ourselves
It will not have a hold on me
where we're from the birds sing a pretty song
our throats get held to show we're wrong
how much louder you speak
it will not have a hold on me
A swell
of the demons of Hell
couldn't knock me, I know Death too well

Will your elbows and knees bend back
after my bus ticket is dead?
Neither of us will the sea protect
oh worry, your fate is to be foretold
out of guilt you initiate a touch
I'll pull the rope, I'll hold it down
Maybe it's a Shadow Self
maybe it's a Djiin
You need to stand up strong on the threshold
Let's get a better supply
Let's just forget that we're going to die

hey maybe he
painted me in gasoline
I turned on myself like a harpy
my claws deep in the heart of me
hey look at me
carrying on with his mission
when will what he took from me
compare to what I've taken?
Ooo, the doorknob's hot, the doorknob!
Ooo, you're burning up, you're burning...
Ooo, the smoke nestles in
the stain is set
incandescent
The dog's frantic barking
to the tempo my heart is beating
All this time running from the hounds
they've all been locked up on the grounds
When will what he took from me
compare to what I've taken?
After all that blood spilled
it could keep them busy for years
He will never see me
abandoning the mission
I've plucked the teeth from my heart
I've plucked the teeth from my heart
I am not dead
I'm breathing
We are not dead
We're breathing
Ooo, all the smoke that's lifted
It was the ghosts I'd harboured
Ooo, the Bay of Trust encapsulates us
I will not fall

Now
it's time for you to let go
you know?
You're completely covered in blood
and it's all yours
