I am the ghost of better past
Lingering deep down
South of here
Where we know his face
But not the name of a brother drowned in his
Oh, last years
Have you been skipping stones across the lake ablaze
For your own damn sake
Open wide
It's this taste we've all been tasting in our tongues
And in our minds
And take that head of yours
And stick it through the clouds
You've been buried underneath our world
With all your selfish doubt
Feel the heat
Dripping from our dirty tongues
Gathering flames now
Just last year
We felt the hell of a sneaky spark
Let it burn us to the ground
There's a hole
In all there is to see in these waking days
And it's all fake
Open wide
The taste we've all been tasting in our tongues
And in our minds
And take that head of yours
And stick it through the clouds
You've been buried underneath our world
With all your selfish doubt
By the time you turn the clocks all back
You'll be covered in all the leaves
It's a shame you didn't look around
Oh, all the things you'd see
Defeat the low
Defeat the low
Defeat the low
Defeat the low
Defeat the low
Defeat the low
Breathe me in I am the ghost of better past Lingering deep down South of here Where we know his face But not the name of a brother drowned in his Oh, last years Have you been skipping stones across the lake ablaze For your own damn sake Open wide It's this taste we've all been tasting in our tongues And in our minds And take that head of yours And stick it through the clouds You've been buried underneath our world With all your selfish doubt Feel the heat Dripping from our dirty tongues Gathering flames now Just last year We felt the hell of a sneaky spark Let it burn us to the ground There's a hole In all there is to see in these waking days And it's all fake Open wide The taste we've all been tasting in our tongues And in our minds And take that head of yours And stick it through the clouds You've been buried underneath our world With all your selfish doubt By the time you turn the clocks all back You'll be covered in all the leaves It's a shame you didn't look around Oh, all the things you'd see Defeat the low Defeat the low Defeat the low Defeat the low Defeat the low Defeat the low Explain Request ×
