Ghosts of the Forest Lyrics

[Intro]
Get in, get out
Get in, get out
Get in, get out
Get in, get out

[Chorus]
I know you know that you are me
And I am you, and we are here
And you're the one to take me down
So take me down, take me down
I know you know that you are me
And I am you, and we are here
And you're the one to take me down
So take me down, take me down

[Verse 1]
Walk slowly, step and you can listen while you
So quiet I can almost hear my pulse in my hands
Walk slowly, step and you can listen while you
So quiet I can almost hear my pulse in my hands

[Chorus]
I know you know that you are me
And I am you, and we are here
And you're the one to take me down
So take me down, take me down
My lips, the cool air pushes me down in the mush
I turn my head
You know why, but you are me
And I am you, and we are here
You caught my eye
And if it's now, then let it all be you

[Refrain]
Ghost of the forest
Ghost of the forest
Ghost of the forest
Ghost of the forest

[Verse 2]
I can feel it all unwind
I remember when the stars aligned
Now I'm tumbling blind
I'm tumbling blind
I'm tumbling blind
I'm tumbling blind

[Refrain]
Ghost of the forest
Ghost of the forest
Ghost of the forest
Ghost of the forest

[Outro]
I'm drowning in my own mind
I'm drowning in images
I'm drowning in thoughts
I'm drowning in bitterness
I'm drowning in memories
I'm drowning in anger
I'm drowning in regret
I'm drowning in hatred
I'm drowning in yesterday
I'm drowning in tomorrow
I'm drowning in my own mind
I'm drowning in my own mind
I'm drowning in my own mind
I'm drowning in my own mind

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 [?]
