I grew up in a haunted house But only by the sound of my own thoughts There's things i'll never understand Transcend to mere oblivion And i'm gone The less i feed the ghost i see The more that it resembles me You're burning on my tongue And i don't understand still I need you to stand still 'Cause these bones refuse to stand alone Ever since i was a kid My bitterness was intricate And now carry it like poison In my lungs Can't shake it You're swimming in my blood To fill me up and then to drown me out Pretend like you want me around As i tread foreign ground 'Til the weight of your words Take me home 'Cause these bones refuse to stand alone I'm more than just my body parts I planted both my feet in the deep end For these things i'll never understand
