Salt and Shadow

[Intro]
[Verse]
The ferris wheel is frozen still
Against the purple, heavy hill
The salt is biting at the glass
Watching all the seasons pass
I walk the pier of rotting wood
Just like I always knew I should
[Pre-Chorus]
The neon flickers, dying blue
I smell the copper and the dew
There’s a step behind my own
Chilling me right to the bone
[Chorus]
Hello, little ghost of mine
Walking on a silver line
In the house of cracked design
Where the broken mirrors shine
You look hungry, you look lean
Sharpest thing I’ve ever seen
Are you here to take the crown?
Or just to burn the circus down?
[Verse]
I see your eyes in shattered panes
Running through my very veins
The girl I buried in the sand
Reaching for my shaking hand
She’s got a grin that’s wide and cold
Trading silver for the gold
[Pre-Chorus]
The fog is thick as heavy lace
I can’t escape your pretty face
You’re the secret I forgot
Leaving everything to rot
[Chorus]
Hello, little ghost of mine
Walking on a silver line
In the house of cracked design
Where the broken mirrors shine
You look hungry, you look lean
Sharpest thing I’ve ever seen
Are you here to take the crown?
Or just to burn the circus down?
[Hook]
Shadow in the blue
Coming after you
Shadow in the blue
What you gonna do?
[Bridge]
Harpsichord is playing low
Where the blackest waters flow
Predatory, soft and sweet
Drag your heart along the street
I’m the predator and prey
In this twilight, shades of grey
Don’t be scared of what you find
Inside the corners of your mind
[Breakdown]
Rust on the gate
Accept your fate
Cold as the sea
Coming for me
[Chorus]
Hello, little ghost of mine
Walking on a silver line
In the house of cracked design
Where the broken mirrors shine
You look hungry, you look lean
Sharpest thing I’ve ever seen
Are you here to take the crown?
Or just to burn the circus down?
[Post-Chorus]
Tick-tock, the carousel
Ringing like a funeral bell
Tick-tock, the carousel
Welcome to our little hell
[Outro]
