Intro
You seemed to know
The ghost in me

Verse 1
A tear falls down fragile skin
A crack in the porcelain
Too shallow to see within
But you seemed to know
That the light within me dimmed
The tissue worn and thinned
The weight holding down my limbs
As the voices continually swim
But you've seen what lies within

Bridge
Exorcise the ghost of who I was
Dare, if you feel the need to
If you feel the need to trespass
Cross the boundaries to my rescue

Chorus
The call of my whispered scream
Broke through to no one but you
You know it's not easy to hold onto
The force that makes me weak
Through the falling evergreens
You saw from my point of view
Watched as I seemed to know you
As the only one who sees
The ghost in me

Verse 2
My thoughts reduced to superstitions
A growing darkness around my vision
Everyone I love, we're separated by this division
But you seemed to stay
Find me in the middle of the collision
I never know which voice to listen to
Unable to move, but unable to sit still
Frantically switching positions
I thought I'd never have a witness
But you tore an incision in the veil

Bridge
Exorcise the ghost of who I was
Dare, if you feel the need to
If you feel the need to trespass
Cross the boundaries to my rescue

Chorus
The call of my whispered scream
Broke through to no one but you
You know it's not easy to hold onto
The force that makes me weak
Through the falling evergreens
You saw from my point of view
Watched as I seemed to know you
As the only one who sees
The ghost in me

Verse 3
I'll try to fight the changing tides
To hold onto the cyclones inside
And stop slipping down the landslides
And you seem to know
The raging storm behind the eyes
The counting of the seconds of my life
Every mask I wear, a failed disguise
Now that you've answered all my cries
Acquainted with the demon I want to leave behind

Chorus
The call of my whispered scream
Broke through to no one but you
You know it's not easy to hold onto
The force that makes me weak
Through the falling evergreens
You saw from my point of view
Watched as I seemed to know you
As the only one who sees
The ghost in me

Outro
You seemed to know
