  • Bones shake, it's lonely, it's late
    Footsteps, echo, glimmers of hate
    Howling candles are blowing a sound
    Why can't I tell you it's all going down?
    And there's a sadness deep down in my soul
    Hard times just won't let me go

    I need you to help me through
    I can't lay these ghosts to rest
    Though I'm scared, and it's gone
    Oh, I know we tore the fence that faces
    And they're strong, I got them staring back at me
    But my will is still strong, I won't let them take me in
    I won't let them take me in
    I won't let them take me in

    Angels crying, lost in shame
    Demons laughing, ain't a game
    And there's a sadness deep down in my soul
    Hard times just won't let me go

    I need you to help me through
    I can't lay these ghosts to rest
    Don't run scared, and it's gone
    Oh, I know we tore the fence that faces
    And they're strong, I got them staring back at me
    But my will is still strong, I won't let them take me in

    Days roll on from dusk to dawn for all time, all time
    My faith is grown, seeds we've sown, alright, alright
    There's a sadness deep down in my soul
    I need you to help me through
    I can't lay these ghosts to rest
    Though I'm scared, and it's gone
    Oh, I know we tore the fence that faces
    And they're strong, I got them staring back at me
    But my will is still strong, I won't let them take me in
    I won't let them take me in
    I won't let them take me in Writer/s: JONY LIPSY, LAURA WELSH
