[Dark Southern Gothic rock, haunting female echoes throughout] [INTRO – whispers] (Don't get lost...) (Amy...) (Keep going...) (Don't look back...) (Leaving...) (The smoke remembers...) (Knock... knock... knock...) [VERSE 1] Halloween and the night went cold, (Cold... don't look back...) Packed up pieces of a life I'd known. (You knew... let it go...) Shadows dancing under streetlights, (Behind you...) Smoke in the mirror, nothing feels right. (Not right...) Hands on the wheel, one thing left to do, Backing out of yesterday when trouble came into view. (Yesterday...) I hit the brakes, my heart skipped a beat, Another piece of chaos found me in the street. (Found you...) [PRE-CHORUS] You can throw those words like stones, (Stones...) Try to wake up every ghost I know. (Wake them...) But those ghosts don't frighten me anymore, I've already walked through worse before. (Before... before...) [CHORUS] I was already leaving, (Leaving... she's gone...) Already halfway gone. (Gone... keep going...) You tried to wake my demons, (Wake them...) But baby, they moved on. (Moved on...) Smoke inside the rearview, (Don't look back...) Moonlight on the road. You can haunt what's left behind me, (Haunt it...) BUT YOU DON'T GET MY SOUL. (My soul...) [whisper] No. YOU DON'T GET MY SOUL. (No... no... no...) [VERSE 2] You dug into a grave you didn't own, (Leave it alone...) Pulled up pain that should've been left alone. (Let it sleep...) Took an old wound, tried to make it bleed, Like somebody else's cruelty said something about me. It didn't. (No...) I survived the monsters I once mistook for love. And every time they buried me, Somehow I rose above. (Rise... RISE...) [PRE-CHORUS] Rattle your chains, let the old ghosts scream, (Scream...) I won't crawl back inside that dream. (Don't go back...) I've spent enough nights afraid of the dark, Now I know the dark can't swallow my spark. (Burn...) [CHORUS] I was already leaving, (Leaving... she's gone...) Already halfway gone. (Gone...) You tried to wake my demons, But baby, they moved on. (Moved on...) Smoke inside the rearview, (The smoke remembers...) Moonlight on the road. You can haunt what's left behind me, BUT YOU DON'T GET MY SOUL. (My soul...) [BREAKDOWN] Knock, knock. (Knock... knock...) Who's there? (You already know...) Every damn thing I used to fear. (Fear...) Ghosts at the door, lies in the hall, (Let us in...) I don't feed those monsters anymore. (Feed us...) NO. I know that sound. I know that game. Dig up my past, Try to hand me the blame. (Blame...) It isn't mine. (Not yours...) Midnight struck, And something changed. (What changed?) ME. I walked through hell. (Hell...) BUT I DON'T SCARE THE SAME. (Same... same...) [BRIDGE – whispered] Don't get lost. (Don't get lost...) I still don't know what those words mean. (Lost...) Maybe I'm not supposed to. (Keep going...) Maybe I'm still learning. I don't need to see the whole road To know which way I'm going. (Don't get lost...) (Don't look back...) (KEEP GOING...) [FINAL CHORUS] I WAS ALREADY LEAVING! (LEAVING!) NOW I'M FINALLY GONE! (GONE!) You tried to wake my demons, BUT I LEARNED TO WALK THEM HOME. (Home...) Smoke curling in the rearview, (The smoke remembers...) Sunrise down the road. You can haunt what's left behind me, BUT YOU DON'T GET MY SOUL! (MY SOUL!) (NO!) No more running from the darkness, (No more...) No more begging it to go. (Let it go...) THE WOMAN WHO WALKED INTO THAT NIGHT AIN'T THE WOMAN COMING HOME. (She rose...) [OUTRO – haunting whispers] Don't get lost... (Lost...) I was already leaving... (Leaving...) And now... I'm gone. (Gone... gone...) (The smoke remembers...) (Don't get lost...) (Keep going.)
