[Intro: XXXTENTACION & Emma Louise]
Shtuom ruo neewteb seid ecapS tuo dna ni revO
My flesh is cold, I held a ghost
My flesh is cold, I held a ghost
My flesh is cold, I held a ghost
My flesh is....
My flesh is cold, I held a ghost
My flesh is cold, I held a ghost
My flesh is cold, I held a ghost
(Ayy, ayy)

[Verse: XXXTENTACION & BONES]
I've held a ghost
And I could've been
Next fall, next blade in the kin
Bleed red, four doors in the Benz
But I met four ghosts in the pen
And it slipped through my fingertips
And I, could've been
I've lost all hope
DeadBoy, my soul is amiss
Flushed skin, X types of a kiss
Rather hate, bitch

I want nothing to do with this
Just face the abyss, and I (Ayy!)
Place blame for this shit (Ayy)
Rather be dead, dull blades on my wrist-wrist
Fuckin' with my head, get dead, that's the gist
Flushed, you can see it on me, I'm pissed-pissed
Lost in the mist (Ayy), pants full of piss (Ayy)
Pick a daffodilly, so pretty at this
Fist fuck, started feelin' silly, willy took a look
At the rope, then he jumped
All he needed was a brick-brick
[Bridge: XXXTENTACION & BONES]
Daisy, those are makin' Fugazi
If we don't leave
Lost, I pick up a case and
Close it, close it, pick up the rabies (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
We will burn with this town
Daisy, those are makin' Fugazi
Lost, I pick up a case and
Close it, close it, pick up the rabies (Ayy ayy, ayy ayy)

[Outro: XXXTENTACION & BONES]
Livin' a farce
If everything was everything
Livin' a farce, livin' a farce
Livin' a farce
I would never have to worry about anything
Livin' a farce, livin' a farce
I've held a ghost
And it slipped through my fingertips

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

We see the depressed side of X more in this song. He is saying that he feels so dead inside that his flesh is cold, like a dead body.
