Lyrics

   Try to get inside my head
   All the windows are
   Painted shut
   Take your horse to
   My water to drink
   I'm not the gift that you think
   
   Cross my name off the devil's
   To do list
   Burn every page
   In that little black book
   And we're praying it remains
   in the mouth of God
   
   You've got cracks
   In your magic
   And blood on your hands
   
   I'm the one
   The one that you
   Left behind
   I wish I knew you
   Knew you when
   You were alive
   It's not a costume
   It's not how I wanted to die
   It's not costume
   Not how I wanted to die
   
   Cross my name off the devil's
   To do list
   Burn every page
   In that little black book
   And we're praying it remains
   in the mouth of God
   
   You've got cracks
   In your magic
   And blood on your hands
   
   I'm the one
   The one that you
   Left behind
   I wish I knew you
   Knew you when
   You were alive
   It's not a costume
   It's not how I wanted to die
   It's not costume
   Not how I wanted to die
   
   I'll break your sunshine
   To scare my shadow away
   
   I'm the one
   The one that you
   Left behind
   I wish I knew you
   Knew you when
   You were alive
   It's not a costume
   It's not how I wanted to die
   It's not costume
   Not how I wanted to die
   
   I'll break your sunshine
   I'll break your sunshine
   To scare my shadow away
