lyrics

I didn't believe in ghosts and
I didn't believe in sin
I didn't believe in hope
Until regret sneaked in.

Now I can see the ghosts
Now I can feel the sin
I can smell the smoke bleeding out
From the synced up video twin

And it burns like hell

The ghosts don't follow me
Because the ghosts don't know I'm there
But everywhere I turn I see them
Like the smoke caught in my nostril hair

I lost everything once
But that is not an original story
I dream of a restful sleep
I dream of a life without worry

And it burns like hell

And corridors and corridors
And corridors and corridors
And corridors and corridors
And corridors and corridors

We're trapped in a haunted paradox
In a room without doors, handles, or locks
There's no south or east or west, there is only north
When sleep comes I'm never sure I know what it's worth.
And I don't know if there's a way out
I don't know if there's an escape
Can we put the blood back into life-holding shapes
Can we turn the wine back into grapes?
Because I don't know if there's a way out
I don't know if there's an escape

Drill baby drill
