Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
These the hands that have always held me
From the cradle down to the floor
The soul that you’ve passed on to me
Won’t you tell me what it’s for

[Verse 2]
It’s like I’ve harnessed myself
To nothing as the skin starts to peel off
My blood is a raging river
Surging through my veins

[Chorus]
Better give up the ghost before it wakes

[Verse 3]
When you act like I’m nothing to you
Make me feel like I’ve been replaced
I could tear you apart
Leave a brand new scar

[Chorus]
Better give up the ghost before it wakes
Give up the ghost before it wakes

[Verse 4]
There’s an ending on the horizon
I’ll be here after you are gone
To shower you with black roses
And I will bury you with my love

[Chorus]
Better give up the ghost before it wakes
Give up the ghost before it wakes
