The Ghosts We Know - Bend The Blade

I was a gold mine
You pulled the value from my veins
And I worshiped you
But you gutted me all the same
I wasn't the first one, and I surely won't be the last
I ignored the whispers, the warnings from my past
I'm sellin' my soul to the great unknown
Don't know what I said, don't know where to go
And I worked these hands down to the bone
Got a debt to pay
But I bent the blade
Burn me up
There's no fire behind these eyes anymore
Burn me up
Like a pyre outside a sinner's front door
I never thought I'd falter
But I'm kneeling at your altar
Burn me up, I'll taste the flame
Then I'll smolder all the same
My heart aches
This heart break
Is more than I can bear
My world's turned upside down
And it's only you that took me there
How could I have known
That I would only feel despair
You ripped my heart right out my chest
Now I am left so bare
Burn me up
There's no fire behind these eyes anymore
Burn me up
Like a pyre outside a sinner's front door
I never thought I'd falter
But I'm kneeling at your altar
Burn me up, I'll taste the flame
Then I'll smolder all the same
I'm sellin' my soul to the great unknown
Don't know what I said, don't know where to go
And I worked these hands down to the bone
Got a debt to pay
My cup used to overflow
But now I can't find a drop anywhere I go
Now all that's left is salt to sow
And these empty veins
As I drift away
