We hide in the saddest places Because no one looks there, Under the stones that have been left alone Never to be unturned, I've learned Its better to never open the bottle They'd rather I wallow in waste Because that makes me convenient, that's fair. I'm the substitute even in the stories I write So why would any other have any other sight? Isnt that right, Claire? Its easy to dance like no one is watching When you know no one is watching. Where's the auction I turn back on my body The auctioneer is stuck, no one's wanting The ghosts populate my cranium space, The poltergeists are not done haunting I want to taste real emotion instead of taunting, I'm just a host for a past still walking. They ask for real answers but my written tongue Can spread darkness like cancer, Can give hope to the hopeless But some don't know what hope is Can give hope to the hopeless But maybe you noticed, now I'm the hopeless

Substitute
We hide in the saddest places Because no one looks there, Under the stones that have been left alone Never to be unturned, I've learned Its better to never open the bottle They'd rather I wallow in waste Because that makes me convenient, that's fair. I'm the substitute even in the stories I write So why would any other have any other sight? Isnt that right, Claire? Its easy to dance like no one is watching When you know no one is watching. Where's the auction I turn back on my body The auctioneer is stuck, no one's wanting The ghosts populate my cranium space, The poltergeists are not done haunting I want to taste real emotion instead of taunting, I'm just a host for a past still walking. They ask for real answers but my written tongue Can spread darkness like cancer, Can give hope to the hopeless But some don't know what hope is Can give hope to the hopeless But maybe you noticed, now I'm the hopeless
