Haunted

(album: Dividing Lines - 2022)

Lost faith in the human race
Lost hope in the ever after
You got burned everywhere you turned
You touched fire like a salamander

Can't get up, can't get over it
Won't let up, won't let go of it
No time for another try
So leave now or you're going to have a breakdown

Abandon your instinct, it only tries to insulate
No passion, no limit, you'll only hyperventilate
You're lethal, your forfeit harmonically distorted
Till you've forsaken all you wanted
What doesn't kill you leaves you haunted
And you're slipping away

Hold tight while the bomb strikes
Countdown to the new disaster
Don't say you don't want to fight
Are you going to be the next cadaver

Can't get up, can't get over it
Won't let up, won't let go of it
Can't choose when you're going to lose
So leave town or you're heading for a showdown

Abandon your instinct, it only tries to insulate
No passion, no limit, you'll only hyperventilate
You're lethal, your forfeit harmonically distorted
Till you've forsaken all you wanted
What doesn't kill you leaves you haunted
And you're slipping away

The shadow lingers
I will remember
The hounds of winter
I will remember
Every promise, every cry
Every silence, every lie
I will remember
Every spell you ever cast
Every spectre from the past
I will remember

Abandon your instinct, it only tries to insulate
No passion, no limit, you'll only hyperventilate
You're lethal, your forfeit harmonically distorted
Till you've forsaken all you wanted
What doesn't kill you leaves you haunted
And you're slipping away
And you're slipping away
