The Host Lyrics by ECEL

Petrichor

2023

[Verse 1]
It takes what it wants
It takes what it wants and it doesn’t let go
Some days I think I could break free
Some days I, I don’t really know
And every time I seem to find the needle in this pile
Oh, a way to make it stop, I just lose it all over again
Oh, well, it’s only in my head
(Two, three, four)

[Refrain]
How’d you drain the life out of everything I love?
Yeah
How’d you drain the life out of everything and everyone that I love?

[Verse 2]
Everything is fading or is it just me?
Everything inside feels so unclean
You keep planting things inside my mind, so I chop ‘em down like vines
But whеn one goes down, two more grow to bring it right back to lifе

[Refrain]
And ooh, ooh
You keep draining life of everything I love, yeah
How’d you drain the life out of everything and everyone that I love?

[Chorus]
How did it end up this way?
I swore to God that I would change
I gotta get you out of my life
You keep draining everything I have inside

[Bridge]
If I were to go back in time, years ago
Tell myself you’d make things so monochrome
Would I correct it or not?
Woah
Feeding off of everything that I hold close
Am I really such a perfect host?
No, ooh
I can’t believe it

[Chorus]
How did it end up this way?
I swore to God that I would change
I gotta get you out of my life
You keep draining everything I have inside
