Danielle Dennis - Give Up The Ghost Lyrics

Crawl back to your dark comforts
I'll crawl back to all my own
Wrap ourselves in new untainted kisses
As we carve our souls to bone
Somehow I'd convinced myself to live off these half-measures
As if they'll always be the best I get
So I'll give up the greatest love I've ever known
In hopes I won't regret it
They're whispering so loudly
And still don't think I hear
I've heard enough lies about myself
To be half-convinced they're real
There's sheep among the wolves and wolves mixed up with sheep
And sometimes it's just easier to hide
So I'll uproot all this shame, eradicate the blame
In hopes I learn to take it all in stride
I'll give up the ghost
Haunting my poor heart because I let it
Can't compromise with a new disguise
To make me feel a little less inferior
I'm a senseless fool and so are you
We're all searching for something
The joy that means this suffering
Wasn't all for nothing
I'll give up the ghost
I'm still alive and that's what matters most
This sure isn't the first time
I've crawled back up from hell
But every time, I leave a little piece of me
At the bottom of that well
Somehow I convinced myself to dream a little less
Embrace this box they put me in and make my own damn bed
I'm burning every bridge that stands between me
And the life I could have led
I'll give up the ghost
Who says I'll never reach my own potential?
Can't compromise with a new disguise
To make me feel a little less inferior
I can be happy too, go somewhere new
Breathe life into my own sails
Charge that damn horizon
Like there's just no way to fail
I'll give up the ghost
I'm still alive and that's what matters most
