Ghostemane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Airborne sin in this city I'm in
I inhale, lose sight of the silence within
There's airborne sin in this city I'm in
I inhale, lose sight of the silence within
There's airborne sin in this city I'm in!
I inhale, lose sight of the silence within!
There's airborne sin in this city I'm in!
I inhale, lose sight of the silence within!
