[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this time
Shall we walk?
Shall we run through my head, you understand?
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes, violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
[Chorus 2]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
[Verse 2]
You are lost and alone
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide
One of these days you're gonna find out
Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did i say
To make you wind up
With this spear of guilt inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
[Chorus]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Hold me
Na na na na na na
Show me
Na na na na na na na na na na
[Chorus-Outro]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself!
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this time
Shall we walk?
Shall we run through my head, you understand?
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes, violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
[Chorus 2]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
[Verse 2]
You are lost and alone
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide
One of these days you're gonna find out
Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did i say
To make you wind up
With this spear of guilt inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
[Chorus]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Hold me
Na na na na na na
Show me
Na na na na na na na na na na
[Chorus-Outro]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself!
