Lyrics

Follow Your Ghost

[Verse 1] Embrace the doorway when everything's fading away Take a breath, take time A poet to die and you'll fall in love with a hero in the fire So fuck it, fall back The shore will dry up on this day You'll find the perfect lie Blood ink Dead end is calling Tomorrow is forever away They'll never forget [Refrain] Dead end is calling Tomorrow is forever away They'll never forget They'll never forget [Verse 2] Now paint the door red They'd never mistake the meaning Blood ink, blood ink Ready to lie dead and fall in line with the number 27 So fucking fall back The shore will dry up on this day You'll find the perfect high Blood ink Dead end is calling Tomorrow is forever away They'll never forget [Chorus] No brain, no heart Just rotting legacy All the little stab wounds in that ego scream lobotomy So quickly it came In an instant it is gone The bloody trail of fame and fortune has drained that life of that life It bled you dry, bled you dry It bled you dry No push and pull No crucible The pandemonium is high [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] No brain, no heart Just rotting legacy All the little stab wounds in that ego scream lobotomy It bled you dry and now the sun has set They'll never forget They'll never forget [Post-Chorus] Tear the road in two Fate won't control you Splitting soul ensues Failing completion Not whole Oh, this world is haunting me (Fate won't control you) Though they fucking love me (Splitting soul ensues) Failing completion Not whole [Bridge] Red waves crash upon the shore of you The precipice White knuckle fist It's all on your side So cut low, because there's no tomorrow Oh, how your hero falls The corpse will swing in all its glory Remembering the love once shared in life, but now it's over Drink, blow Chemicals will rise so I can ease the guilt from the escape So cut low, fuck (Cut low, cut low, cut low) Draining all the blood Your hero falls [Guitar solo] [Outro] It bled you dry, bled you dry It bled you dry It bled you dry, bled you dry The pandemonium is high
