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.

X also samples “Heldaghost” by SurrenderDorothy.[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
