“lifeless, like you” is the first single from Boy Hero since his 2021 EP Recall and his departure from Give Heart Records.
[Verse]
I am dead, I am dead
A cadaver that never mattered
An afterthought left in your bed
With my flesh between your teeth
No, your smile, it ain't so sweet (So sweet)
Pull skin from bone, try to atone
The sins I know you'll never own
(Oh) The sins you'll never own (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
This is not what I want
Can't get back all that I lost
Paid the price at the cost of my life
[Chorus]
I had your body, but I never had your soul
So lifeless when I hold you close
My voiceless ghost
I had your body, but I never had your soul
And it's what I wanted from you most
My voiceless ghost
[Breakdown]
Ah
You stole the warmth from my fingers
You left me here to die
Your touch is cold and it lingers
I want to burn alive
[Bridge]
So much violence for your silence
What's it like, Dorian Gray
Forced to look in the mirror and turn away
So much violence for your silence
What's it like, Dorian Gray
Can't stand the sight of your own decay
[Pre-Chorus]
This is not what I want
Can't get back all that I lost
Paid the price at the cost of my life
My life, my life, my life
I guess this happens all the time
But I never saw the signs you'd be the death of me
[Chorus]
I had your body, but I never had your soul
So lifeless when I hold you close
My voiceless ghost
I had your body, but I never had your soul
And it's what I wanted from you most
My voiceless ghost
[Outro]
In the end, what did you do?
In the end, what did you do?
Make a mess of the abuse
Now I'm just like you
I am dead
