I’ve been looking back
Staring at my path
**** it didn’t go my way
I’m haunted by ghosts from yesterday
I’ve walked on someone else’s steps
They led me into this trap
A prison of my own make
I was encased by my mistakes
Those who led me here are now gone
They left me in this pit alone
Shivering with every bone
They’ve destroyed any idea of home
I need to escape from my past
My youth is not going to last
Got to break from this cell with a blast
I feel death is coming so fast
I know there is no way to return
The old trail is now burned
So I must find a new path through the ashes
And look for where a beacon of hope flashes

I’ve been looking back
Staring at my path
**** it didn’t go my way
I’m haunted by ghosts from yesterday
I’ve walked on someone else’s steps
They led me into this trap
A prison of my own make
I was encased by my mistakes
Those who led me here are now gone
They left me in this pit alone
Shivering with every bone
They’ve destroyed any idea of home
I need to escape from my past
My youth is not going to last
Got to break from this cell with a blast
I feel death is coming so fast
I know there is no way to return
The old trail is now burned
So I must find a new path through the ashes
And look for where a beacon of hope flashes
