Lachryma Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ripping through every poem
Like a vampire should
And it takes one to know 'em
Like I knew you would
[Pre-Chorus]
In the middle of the night, it feeds
In the middle of the night, it eats you
Everybody knows
Everywhere I go
I can never run and I cannot hide
[Chorus]
I'm done crying
Over someone like you
I'm done crying
Hope you're feeling it too now
I'm done
[Post-Chorus]
Crying
Crying
[Verse 2]
Now that sweet's gone sour
Seeping down the cracks
Mm, getting worse by the hour
The vile rot attacks, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
In the middle of the night, it feeds
In the middle of the night, it eats you
Everybody knows
Everywhere I go
I can never run and I cannot hide
[Chorus]
I'm done crying
Over someone like you
I'm done crying
Hope you're feeling it too now
I'm done
[Post-Chorus]
Crying
Crying
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows
Everywhere I go
And I cannot wait until the day when
[Chorus]
I'm done crying
Over someone like you
I'm done crying
Hope you're feeling it too now
I'm done crying (Crying)
Over someone like you
I'm done crying (Crying)
I need somebody new now
I'm done

What did Ghost say about "Lachryma"?
Tobias:
It opens with more of a riffage, and I guess now comes off as somewhat of a ‘typical’ Ghost mash-up, where it’s heavy on one end and met with a big, bombastic chorus. That’s a song about self-deceit.
