all my faith in you is dying there’s so much i thought i knew all i see are bodies lying no one here tells the truth how could i’ve possibly seen or have known all of this was such a grave situation with all of my living days left i’ll be working myself to death from digging up your skeletons i’ve been out digging up skeletons now it’s hard to be around you all i see are wandering eyes won’t be long till your ghosts haunt you for all your little white lies how many times did you think you could bury the past away and live in this disguise if you had just loved me i wouldn’t be knee deep in bones and secrets digging up your skeletons and i’m finding out that you were with all of them you put me in this ditch and now i’ve got no energy to crawl out so i guess i’m sleeping with your skeletons

way down by the river where no one goes there’s a man who hides out and only comes when the moon is low rumors float around his teeth are sharp as knives no one dares to face this man alive better keep your women in lock your doors you never know who he’s coming for who’s that guy lurking in the dark he’s got fangs (he’s insane) he’s got it out for you who’s that guy lurking around you seasons change but our hearts they run cold we drown ourselves in whiskey to warm our souls there’s been talk of help for the creature of the night so now there’s two and only one of you you’d better run and hide we wish destruction on ourselves yeah that’s for sure but when we get cornered like mice we beg for more

i’m like a starlette in an old time movie i’ve got a face that repeats and you don’t want it to go i’ve got the walk and the talk and the image that keeps you glued on everything that i do i’ve had it with the way i’m feeling you belong to me my darling the ins and the outs and the ups and the downs they’re taking the best part of me chasing you down like a prince to the crown and it’s taking the best part of me and when i close my eyes i can see it you following me and you don’t want to let go of the thrill of the chase of the moment you’re in so deep with everything that i do no surrender no more fighting spinning inside like a carnival ride all i can give is the best part of me I will not leave you i won’t stay away i’m down on my knees begging please won’t you leave me alone
