Giving Up the Ghost

Into ashes, dust to dust

Carrying it out without prayer

I lay down the remains of us

Bury them up with my despair

Screams gone silent

This is the end

Bringing me release

It's the funeral

Of our love

And I set you free

Oh, I am giving up your ghost

Forgiving what can be forgotten

Oh, I am giving up your ghost

So I no more have to live haunted

Go now in peace little restless soul

Of all of the things I've loved you the most

But I'm giving up your ghost

I turned the page and burned the book

Laid this dream six feet under

And every breath that aches for you

No more can kill my thunder

Screams gone silent

This is the end

Bringing me release

It's the funeral

Of our love

And I set you free

Oh, I am giving up your ghost

Forgiving what can be forgotten

Oh, I am giving up your ghost

So I no more have to live haunted

Go now in peace little restless soul

Of all of the things I've loved you the most

But I'm giving up your ghost
