[Intro - reversed vocals, ambient swell, whispered] (back it give... give it back...) Where am I... What time is it... She's still here... or maybe I am... [Verse 1 - falsetto, half-conscious] Blackout curtains, half past four Can't tell the ceiling from the floor Her perfume's in my lungs like smoke I'd cough her out but then I'd choke She lit the room in shades of red Said "close your eyes," that's all she said And I felt somethin' leave my chest She kissed the space where it used to rest [Pre-Chorus - vocals doubling, haze thickens] And I know, I know this ain't love It's a séance She only calls me when the high wears off And I answer... God, I always answer... [Chorus - soaring falsetto, drowned in reverb] She stole my soul and won't give it back Keeps it in her purse with the pills and the pack I chase her through the smoke, through the black She stole my soul and won't give it back (Give it back... give it back...) I don't even want it... if it means she won't come back (Come back... come back...) [Verse 2 - lower, darker] She does her lines like poetry Then reads my future off my skin Says "baby, you belong to me, You just been rentin' out this sin" Mirror's fogged, my eyes are glass Two ghosts dancin' in the aftermath I'm just a body she moves through A haunted house with a nice view [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know this ain't love It's possession Every time she leaves, she takes a piece And I let her... f*ck, I always let her... [Chorus - full haze] She stole my soul and won't give it back Keeps it in her purse with the pills and the pack I chase her through the smoke, through the black She stole my soul and won't give it back (Give it back... give it back...) I don't even want it... if it means she won't come back (Come back... come back...) [Bridge - beat drops out, just pads and pitched-down voice] (pitched-down, demonic slow) You gave it to me, baby... You put it in my hands... (falsetto answers, desperate) I know... I know I did... Take the rest... take whatever's left... I was empty 'fore you got here anyway At least now somebody's home... [Breakdown - heartbeat kick, whispered, fading in and out] Sunrise coming through the blinds like a threat... She's getting dressed... Don't... don't... Leave the door unlocked... I'll be here when the walls stop breathing... [Final Chorus - falsetto cracking, drowning in echo] She stole my soul and won't give it back (won't give it back) Left me on the floor with the ash and the wax Heaven couldn't hold me, hell sent me back She stole my soul and won't give it back (Give it back... give it back...) Keep it... just keep it, baby... It was always yours anyway... [Outro - ambient decay, reversed vocals return, whispered] (back it give... give it back...) She's gone... Or maybe I am... (fade into static and room tone)
