Ghosts

I remember turning ten that Sunday
They found me on the side of the road
He couldn't leave me no he could not love me
Mom was spinning out of control
I remember feeling so confused
The silence hurt me more than the screams
I can't believe that so much time has passed
These ghosts they got a hold on me

It messed me up
I can feel him deep inside these walls
I can hear him
Calling
Begging
Pulling me back to where I don't belong

I'm done living in the past just waiting
For these ghosts to fade
I'm done living in the past just waiting
For these ghosts to fade
I know we are the same
I know I can't escape
Going up against these walls
I'm done being afraid
Waiting for the walls to fall

He used to say that we were all born crazy
The anger just came with our blood
I used to think that somehow I was different
Was fourteen when I ran out of luck
There were times when I could dream and laugh
But hope was few and far in between
I can't believe that after all these years
These ghosts still got a hold on me

It messed me up
I can feel him deep inside these walls
I can hear him
Calling
Begging
Pulling me back to where I don't belong

I'm done living in the past just waiting
For these ghosts to fade
I'm done living in the past just waiting
For these ghosts to fade
I know we are the same
I know I can't escape
Going up against these walls
I'm done being afraid
Waiting for the walls to fall
