From the recording Blood And Binding Deluxe Edition
Lyrics
I hear you in the quiet, even when you’re gone
Your shadow’s in the corner, where the light’s long gone
I try to chase the darkness, but it knows my name
Every step I take just brings it back again
I’m bleeding in places no one can see
These chains are the only thing holding me
Every tear is a memory I can’t erase
Every night I feel you in this empty space
I’ve got ghosts in my chest, they don’t let me sleep
Every promise you broke is a wound I keep
I’m screaming for air but I’m trapped inside
Haunted by the fears I can’t confide
The walls close in, I can’t forget
Every heartbeat feels like a threat
I’ve got ghosts in my chest, and they won’t let go yet
I see your face in the cracks of the wall
I hear your voice when the night starts to fall
The past is a mirror I can’t look through
Every fear I have still wears you
I’m bleeding in places no one can see
These chains are the only thing holding me
Every tear is a memory I can’t erase
Every night I feel you in this empty space
I’ve got ghosts in my chest, they don’t let me sleep
Every promise you broke is a wound I keep
I’m screaming for air but I’m trapped inside
Haunted by the fears I can’t confide
The walls close in, I can’t forget
Every heartbeat feels like a threat
I’ve got ghosts in my chest, and they won’t let go yet
Whisper my name like a curse in the dark
Every syllable’s another mark
You built this prison with your lies
And now I can’t close my eyes
I’m choking on the silence you left
Every breath is a ghost in my chest
I can’t run, I can’t hide, I can’t heal
These fears are the only thing real
I’ve got ghosts in my chest, they don’t let me sleep
Every promise you broke is a wound I keep
I’m screaming for air but I’m trapped inside
Haunted by the fears I can’t confide
The walls close in, I can’t forget
Every heartbeat feels like a threat
I’ve got ghosts in my chest, and they won’t let go yet
I hear you in the quiet, even when you’re gone
And the ghosts in my chest keep holding on
