Written by Raven Quinn and Dan Brodbeck.

Lyrics

There are skeletons in closets
There are monsters under beds
There are spirits in the mirrors
And fear within in our heads

Hearts will break wide open
But that’s how the light shines in
Let regrets unspoken
Float away upon the wind
Watch the past turn to ash
As the future burns it down
The pain it held
The hurt you felt
Just let it flicker out

Everyone’s a haunted house
And things we need the most
Are things we can’t hold onto
And they become our ghosts
Their shadows waltz
Within our vaults
The parasites
The hosts
Just leave them be
Set them free
Let them let you go

Hearts will crack wide open
But that’s how the night bleeds out
Stardust pulsing through our veins
A universe without
And all the tiny cuts that sting
A lifetime living dead
Are openings through which love heals
The tears that stained your bed

The way you felt
The blow it dealt
Just let it flicker out

We’re so cruel to ourselves
Construct our own hell
Secrets we don’t tell
Become hollow shells

Hearts will break wide open
But that’s how the light shines in
Let regrets unspoken
Float away upon the wind
Watch the past turn to ash
As the future burns it down
The pain it held
The way you felt
Just let it flicker out
