[Verse 1]
My head is flooded with visions I can’t escape
Ghosts of a smile that disappeared from your face last night
Subtle and difficult to explain
Spoke for a while but I could see the disdain you hide

It’s burning up inside you
I couldn’t decide if I’d just been lied to
Bled dry by the cuts your knife drew
What sleeps underneath those eyes

[Chorus]
I gave a switchblade to a stone cold killer
Halloween night can decide if I live or die
Kept faith in a full blown sinner
Devil inside couldn’t hide unforgiving eyes

[Bridge]
Downed power lines on the pavement
The door’s open wide to the basement
The storms in the sky let the rage in
I knew you’d embrace it
I knew that you’d take me down

[Verse 2]
The streets are covered in colors I can’t forget
The decorations are sullen under the cold black night
Running from something I still regret
The words you hated could summon thunder to stoke the sky
A turn of phrase unspoken
I’ll never escape from the hate you hold in
Dark shapes on a vacant ocean
Ghosts beneath the tide

[Chorus]
I gave a switchblade to a stone cold killer
Halloween night can decide if I live or die
Kept faith in a full blown sinner
Devil inside couldn’t hide unforgiving eyes

[Bridge]
Downed power lines on the pavement
The door’s open wide to the basement
The storms in the sky let the rage in
I knew you’d embrace it
I knew that you’d take me down

[Verse 3 Patrick Finnegan and Ryan Passariello]
I should’ve let this go
I kept your ghost
It left me hopeless
I hope I’m swept below
This tempest grows

You can't disguise
Resentment beneath
Abysmal eyes
The depths of deceit
[Chorus]
I gave a switchblade to a stone cold killer
Halloween night can decide if I live or die
Kept faith in a full blown sinner
Devil inside couldn’t hide unforgiving eyes
