Brightwell - Old Crows lyrics

This isn't how I would like things to be When I'm sensing right from wrong But you're never going to contemplate that The past is just hunting me from now on How am I supposed to move along With the world's eyes that capture all of my wrongs? Let me go through the darkness tonight Let me go through the darkness on my own tonight Somebody please help me set this feeling f**ing free Defy your ghost, let it walk away We have to let it walk away 'Cause we cannot let this choose our fate This cycle holds your failures that won't let go They won't let go Is this how it should be? Tables turning 'cause the bridge is burned And you're never going to be a part of Me you filthy b**h This is the day that I gave up everything An adversary of my past, the enemy But your spirit still lingers I saw your demise, I watched you die And now it's time I set your soul free I couldn't get it out, it's still under my skin I feel it crawling, it's running through my veins How could I let this in? Defy your ghost, let it walk away We have to let it walk away 'Cause we cannot let this choose our fate This cycle holds your failures that won't let go They won't let go And now we'll go our separate ways From the shallow hole we call our faith This shallow hole, this shallow hole, this shallow hole This shallow hole we call our faith We call our faith The things that I thought I could leave behind Are just keeping me from myself The things that I thought I could leave behind Are just keeping me from myself Defy your ghost, let it walk away We have to let it walk away 'Cause we cannot let this choose our fate This cycle holds your failures that won't let go They won't let go
