I think I've found my purpose now
To return to dust resting on the ground
The world is swaying; my knees are shaking
It's 8AM and I'm rotting in my bed
Can't remember the last time that I had
Felt so empty
I tried again, but got nothing in the end
So today I'll stay in bed and hope the
Crows stop calling
It's 8AM, and I'm feeling more human
But I still can't shake the feeling that I'm
All but empty
I tried again
To feel right in my own skin
But I feel so alien and weak to
The crows' taunting
The morning was grey
And then the day was even darker than before
You stand and smile as I lay
With my heart broken on the floor
And every day, right here I'll lay
Recalling everything you said
And hope one day the things you say
Won't rot in my head
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll stick a needle in my eye
Just to be sure I'll never see you again
Every day, without my say
Something in me starts to change
And suddenly this face has shifted again
It's 8AM and I'm someone new again
Can't remember the last time that I had
Recognized me
I tried again
To feel anything human
But there's far too many fragments
To start reconciling
It's 8AM and I fell apart again
Like a glass dropped on the ground
And shattered into pieces
I tried to mend tried to glue each piece again
But the glass just cuts my fingers
And I'm worse than before
The morning was grey, but all the same
The darkness pushed me to the floor
You stand and cackle as I lay
With all my organs on the floor
And every day, right here I'll lay
As you get to my head again
It's not like I have anything
I could do instead
Everything has changed, but still today
I feel so much worse than before
I don't know what to even say
I don't think I can take much more
And if today's the day I break
Someone will take my place instead
Because they knew
This would have had to happen again
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll stick a needle in my eye
Just to be sure I'll never see you again
Every day, without my say
Someone breaks the masquerade
And nothing will ever be okay again
Cross your heart and hope to die
'Cause your heart is the same as mine
And when you break you'll break the same way I did
In the end, we can't be saved
There's nothing we can do, so hey
Let's fake a smile and do this whole thing again
I think I've found my purpose now
To return to dust resting on the ground
The world is swaying; my knees are shaking

After 5 years of listening to GHOST, I still fall in love with every new release. I've listened to this song at least 100 times now. GHOST's music means a lot to me, and I'm so happy they keep producing after all these years.
