Let me shake you awake
Baby why're you dreaming in the day
I float in with the haze, sink in like a stain
Try to wash me out but I get brighter as you fade
You still chasing the ache
Question how your flowers turn to snakes
Hold me till I break
I'd have a lot to say
If you didn't push me down, pretend that it's okay
I'm the ghost you'd like to slip your mind, I know
When the flowers bloom, they'll disguise the pieces of me that were left behind
You hid me away and stared at the light
When the grave digger buried me alive
I clawed at the dirt and let my spirit rise
To watch your sweat and the strain in your shoulder
As you marked my grave with Sisyphus' boulder
I'm out of sight in your face, but I know that you feel me in your veins
Scratch at me in sleep, pray your soul to keep
For when you close your eyes you see me
Brighter than a flame, clean through your chest,
Give me a name
I'm the ghost you'd like to slip your mind, I know
When the flowers bloom, they'll disguise the pieces of me that were left behind
You hid me away and stared at the light
When the grave digger buried me alive
I clawed at the dirt and let my spirit rise
To watch your sweat and the strain in your shoulder
As you marked my grave with Sisyphus' boulder
Don't fly too far
Nobody's gonna catch you when you fall
They wouldn't even notice at all
Don't fly too far
Nobody's gonna catch you when you fall
Nobody knows you at all
