By Shadows Thine Held

All their souls, they speak to me
 Confessing every sin I never wanted to see
 All their souls, they speak to me
 Like razor blades, they cut away
 At the strings that hold my heart
 One more cut and it all falls apart
 One more cut and it falls apart
 A hole in my chest where there should be a heart
 I'd sell my soul just so death can take me back
 By shadows I am held
 Buried with the bodies of the past
 All those words, I just can't take them back
 By shadows I am held
 Buried with the bodies of the past
 All their souls, they speak to me
 Confessing every sin I never wanted to see
 All their souls speak to me
 There is a ghost just behind my eyes
 No hands to move, no tongue to tie
 Just a thought, meant just for me
 No lungs to breathe, no eyes to see
 It's not my head and it's not my heart
 It has no face, just a voice in the dark
 They cast their shadow but can never be seen
 I hear their words but never see them speak
 They cast their shadows but can never be seen
 Never be seen
 I'd sell my soul just so death can take me back
 By shadows I am held
 Buried with the bodies of the past
 All those words, I just can't take them back
 By shadows I am held
 Buried with the bodies of the past
 Let this world fade to black
 I dream in silence and sorrow
 Untold nightmares of horrors unseen
 I swear I won't see tomorrow
 Let go and take these ghosts from me
