[Verse 1]
I wanna hold counsel with the ghost of my father
Tell him I'll be everything he could never be
And if I face the obstacles that he failed to conquer
I'll make it through the other side

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go lonely
I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night
And find no one to hold me
But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light
I got a monochrome candour
Hollow in the middle, but I can't deny
That I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you

[Verse 2]
I wanna hold counsel with the ghost of my father
Tell him I'll be everything he could never be
And if I tame the anger in me he failed to sunder
I'll make it through the other side

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go lonely
I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night
And find no one to hold me
But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light
I got a monochrome candour
Hollow in the middle, but I can't deny
That I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
