I’ve seen a ghost inside of me It mocks the things I wish that I could be Return is my downfall and forward is the key And you hold everything I need. I don’t mean to boast but I’ve seen bigger things than what your eyes have seen But I’ve gouged out my own eyes and forgotten all the memories Don’t turn your back on what you’ve learned it will keep you when your heart grows cold If only we’d remember the lessons we were never told. I wish I could write the memories of the things that I have never done But take me as you find me you know that I could never come To find the grace been given I can feel your urgency Pride is on my shoulder it’s the villain that has captured me. This person who I have become is wrecking things and breaking down the only part of who I was and I must say, That I believe in everything and I can’t seem to find my way but searching has only left me empty So be the ghost inside of me and haunt my every being it’s the only way that I could ever be You’re grace is like the autumn leaves falling down on everything I wish this moment would never pass me by.

Ghost inside me
I’ve seen a ghost inside of me It mocks the things I wish that I could be Return is my downfall and forward is the key And you hold everything I need. I don’t mean to boast but I’ve seen bigger things than what your eyes have seen But I’ve gouged out my own eyes and forgotten all the memories Don’t turn your back on what you’ve learned it will keep you when your heart grows cold If only we’d remember the lessons we were never told. I wish I could write the memories of the things that I have never done But take me as you find me you know that I could never come To find the grace been given I can feel your urgency Pride is on my shoulder it’s the villain that has captured me. This person who I have become is wrecking things and breaking down the only part of who I was and I must say, That I believe in everything and I can’t seem to find my way but searching has only left me empty So be the ghost inside of me and haunt my every being it’s the only way that I could ever be You’re grace is like the autumn leaves falling down on everything I wish this moment would never pass me by.
