They're going back!

[Verse 1]

Lord my path has gone astray

I'm just trying to find my way

Wandered here from far away

I'm just trying to find my way

You were never meant to see

All those things inside of me

Now that you've gone away

I'm just trying to find my way

[Chorus]

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh, ooh

Ohhh

[Verse 2]

I have made a great mistake

Pray the Lord my soul to take

The ghost of who I used to be

I can feel them come for me

It looks as though they're here to stay

I'm just trying to find my way

[Chorus]

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh, ooh

Ohhh

Ohhh (Please)

Ohhh (I never meant to)

Ohhh (Please)

Ohhh (I never meant for this)

[Verse 3]

I have been to every place

I have been to everywhere

I'm just trying to find my way

Oh, dear Lord, hear my prayer

I have been to every place

I have been to everywhere

I'm just trying to find my way

Oh, dear Lord, hear my prayer

I have been to every place

I have been to everywhere

I'm just trying to find my way

Oh, dear Lord, hear my prayer

I have been to every place

I have been to everywhere

I'm just trying to find my way

Oh, dear Lord, hear my prayer

[Verse 1]

If I were you

I wouldn’t trust

A single word

I say

Think by now

You should know

Nothing’s going

To change

[Chorus]

Can I ask you something?

What did you expect?

So disappointed

With what you get

Do you ever want to

Just get out of here?

So disappointed

You disappear

[Verse 2]

Look at you

Superman

With all the world

To save

You think by now

You’d figure out

That nothing’s going

To change

And I am part of the reason

[Chorus]

Can I ask you something?

What did you expect?

So disappointed

With what you get

Do you ever want to

Just get out of here?

So disappointed

You disappear

[Verse 1]

Split

Split into

Something else

Shed

Your precious skin

Save yourself

Bleed

Have to purge

What you were

Yes

Yes, of course

This is gonna hurt

[Pre-Chorus]

Nature is violent

The very nature of this is violence

No no no no no that was someone else

No no no no no no no that wasn't me

[Chorus]

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

I don't believe you can even remember which one you are

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

[Verse 2]

Thrive

Just become

Your disease

Leave

Them behind

You are free

Take

What you want

What you deserve

Yes

Yes, of course

This is gonna hurt

[Chorus]

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

I don't believe you can even remember which one you are

It's getting harder to tell the two of you apart

[Outro]

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know anymore

I just don't know
