By Shadows Thine Held

[Refrain]
All their souls, they speak to me
Confessing every sin I never wanted to see
All their souls, they speak to me

[Verse 1]
Like razor blades, they cut away
At the strings that hold my heart
One more cut and it falls apart
One more cut and it falls apart
A hole in my chest where there should be a heart

[Chorus]
I'd sell my soul just so death can take me back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past
All those words, I just can't take them back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past

[Refrain]
All their souls, they speak to me
Confessing every sin I never wanted to see
All their souls, they speak to me

[Verse 2]
There is a ghost just behind my eyes
No hands to move, no tongue to lie
Just a thought, meant just for me
No lungs to breathe, no eyes to see
It's not my head and it's not my heart
It has no face, just a voice in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
They cast their shadow but can never be seen
I hear their words but never see them speak
They cast their shadows but can never be seen
Never be seen

[Chorus]
I'd sell my soul just so death can take me back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past
All those words, I just can't take them back
By shadows I am held
Buried with the bodies of the past

[Bridge]
Let this world fade to black

[Outro]
I dream in silence and sorrow
Untold nightmares of horrors unseen
I dream in silence and sorrow
Untold nightmares of horrors unseen
I swear I won't see tomorrow
Let go and take these ghosts from me
Let go, take from these ghosts from me
