Exorcism

[Verse 1]
The times you found me weak and took me underneath
I failed to cast aside the voice of disbelief
"Come back into these arms" is what you begged of me
Commit to sacrifice, I'm crying to be free

[Pre-Chorus]
And whoa, oh
Didn't they try to tell me?
And oh, oh
They can't hear me now

[Chorus]
Before you
I recognized myself
You tore into
Now I'm someone else
Who can't go on, not the way you do
'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue
Before you, I believed

[Verse 2]
The fire and light you choked and drowned inside of me
In toxic waves as far as naked eyes can see
I'd give anything to get it all back now that it's too far gone
And everyone talks, but nobody knows the shadow that I've become

[Chorus]
Before you
I recognized myself
You tore into
Now I'm someone else
Who can't go on, not the way you do
'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue
Before you

[Bridge]
No one, nowhere
Nothing left to turn to
No more trying to
Fight for souls to burn through
Beyond forsaken skies, behind these clouded eyes
There was no place to hide away from you
With every step and stride to get away
My foolish heart and useless praying

[Chorus]
Before you
I could recognize myself
You tore into
Now I'm someone else
Before you
I could recognize myself
You tore into
Now I'm someone else
Who can't go on, not the way you do
'Cause I've fallen, turning black and blue
Before you, I believed
