If we're the sum of all our parts
Then someone got the numbers wrong
They should check the work again
Cause I'm not someone else's fault
I'm the reason I can't sleep
And I'm the reason you're disappointed
A thousand skeletons in my closet
My mantra remains let's just avoid 'em

Cause we took what we wanted
And we hid what we love
It's buried inside us
And it lives in our guts
And when we're discovered
There's no redemption for us
Just the judgment of others
Who haven't revealed what they hid in the dust

Shadows sent here from the past
To remind me
Of sacred things I can't give back
Buried in a shallow grave
I remind you of all the sacred things you have

I feel a chill in my soul
Is that death or just who I am
When the wolves descend to the town
Close your eyes or you'll see what's left of a man
Fragments torn to and fro
From a half that was formerly whole
It's the shearing down of a life with some promise
The dirt that returns to its home
We're a speck set adrift with no mission or course or return date
We're the fog in a windshield used to make shapes on a car ride
Like a child does in the first grade
We're the void in the abyss
Nothing more, nothing less
Can't run away from the stones that weren't meant for us
No one gets spared in the end
It's the where and the when, and the not knowing how that wakes me up every night in a cold sweat
These sacred things that I can't return'll be placed in my hands when I'm dead
Left in a potter's field
Unmarked and forgotten till
I'm discovered by someone who's dumping their loved one beside me
For every sacred thing they tried to steal

Shadows sent here from the past
To remind me
Of sacred things I can't give back
Buried in a shallow grave
I remind you of all the sacred things you have

Oh to gain the world and lose
Oh to gain the world and lose
Oh to gain the world and lose your soul (x6)

Shadows sent here from the past
To remind me
Of sacred things I can't give back
Buried in a shallow grave
I remind you of all the sacred things you have
