[Verse 1] I dug my peace by hand In a yard of broken glass I tried to leave it all behind But the old ghosts never pass Her name hides in the walls In the seams of every room I wash my face, I bite my tongue Still she walks in with the gloom [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel it now Crawling under my skin I keep the door locked down But she finds her way in [Chorus] I want my peace tonight I want my peace tonight But her memory burns And it won't let me sleep I want my peace tonight I want my peace tonight I buried the past But it won't stay deep [Verse 2] Morning comes with dull red eyes And that same heavy chest I wear my silence like a chain Like a wound I can't confess Every song pulls her back Every corner knows her trace I swear I'm done, I swear I'm free Then I see her in my face [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel it now That cold hand on my spine I pray for something clean But she's still inside my mind [Chorus] I want my peace tonight I want my peace tonight But her memory burns And it won't let me sleep I want my peace tonight I want my peace tonight I buried the past But it won't stay deep [Bridge] If I scream her name Will it crack this spell? If I let it break Will I break as well? I stood in the dark Till the dark looked back And I told my soul It can never go back [Final Chorus] I want my peace tonight I want my peace tonight But her memory burns And it won't let me sleep I want my peace tonight I want my peace tonight I buried the past But it still knows me I want my peace tonight I want my peace tonight So let this heart ache Till it leaves me free
