The Ghost Inside
Album • 2024
Keep me from going under We're blind to the brighter days Can't get a clear view of anything Storm clouds come creeping in The time has come, now it's sink or swim It's time to break from the lies that poison my mind I'll sever the ties, so long as I remember Nothing is what it seems Running from everything Just darkness underneath Keep me from going under Can't find the air to breathe And I'm drifting out to sea Will you save me? Keep me from going under My thoughts are suffocated Hung up on what to say No words, just gray Displaced in my own headspace It's time to break from the lies that poison my mind I'll sever the ties, so long as I remember Nothing is what it seems Running from everything Just darkness underneath Keep me from going under Can't find the air to breathe And I'm drifting out to sea Will you save me? Keep me from going under Screams become white noise, the static is threatening Dead air consumes, now the silence is deafening All the discourse has turned to a villainous scheme This is a curse, wishing for words Because the silence is deafening Nothing is what it seems Running from everything Will you save me? Keep me from going under Nothing is what it seems Running from everything Just darkness underneath Keep me from going under Can't find the air to breathe And I'm drifting out to sea Will you save me? Keep me from going under Keep me from going under Keep me from going under

Feels like I'm light years away, but it's just beyond my reach There's the end, dead ahead, it's better late than never I've been trapped all alone, and it's felt like forever Inside the void without a single light Lost in an abyss that's suffocating me I wait for the day to break I gave more than I could take And I need a way out that's more than a dream It feels like I'm light years away, but it's just beyond my reach Stopped again, sleepwalking, still so fucking tired Need a change, anything that will get me out of my own hеad Is anybody there? Still going nowherе Gotta try, do or die Nothing's worse than being stuck in here I wait for the day to break I gave more than I could take And I need a way out that's more than a dream It feels like I'm light years away, but it's just beyond my reach By now I should be used to the uncertainty Can I outweigh the overbearing gravity? Can I outweigh the overbearing gravity? Inside the void without a single light Lost in an abyss that's suffocating me I wait for the day to break I gave more than I could take And I need a way out that's more than a dream It feels like I'm light years away, but it's just beyond my reach Beyond my reach, beyond my reach, beyond my reach It's just beyond my reach Beyond my reach, beyond my reach, beyond my reach It's just beyond my reach

No escape Doesn't matter that I've changed 'Cause you still see me the same Open your eyes, that's how the past dies Don't look at me like I am the problem When we both know who's stoking the flames I've been burned too many times before, so tell me, who's to blame? I'll tell you a secret I've outgrown everyone you know But you won't believe it 'Cause all thе time you're sleeping, I've been drеaming No escape From a never-ending haze You're still blinded by the rage Open your mind, leave the past behind Pay attention to what's right in the wrong You never listen when I yell, so I'll tell you a secret I've outgrown everyone you know But you won't believe it 'Cause all the time you're sleeping, I've been dreaming I've been burned too many times before So tell me, who's to blame? I'll tell you a secret I've outgrown everyone you know But you won't believe it 'Cause all the time you're sleeping, I've been dreaming I'll tell you a secret I'll tell you a secret 'Cause all the time you're sleeping, I've been dreaming

Another crack in the ice under my feet Another cloud in the sky In the shadow of an unseen enemy But I'm not ready to die Am I paranoid? Can't trust my eyes So close to giving up Fear on overdrive It's a vicious cycle Got me spinning in a downward spiral (Am I losing it?) Vicious cycle Inescapable paranoia A threat on every side Yeah, a threat on every side Another day looking over my shoulder Another sleepless night Losing my hold on reality My world is starting to slip Am I losing it? Am I paranoid? (Am I paranoid?) Can't trust my eyes The fear is winning And it drags me down to another- Vicious cycle Got me spinning in a downward spiral (Am I losing it?) Vicious cycle Inescapable paranoia A threat on every side Free fall Devolve Vicious cycle Inescapable paranoia A threat on every side I feel my sanity split I'm fucking losing it Another crack in the ice under my feet Another cloud in the sky In the shadow of an unseen enemy I feel my sanity split I'm losing it

I lay awake trapped in the same routine, repeating over and over I look ahead and I start to feel the dread of growing older and older So, what's it gonna take to finally make a change? I'm shaking like an earthquake It's been building up and become too much Like the pouring rain, we can wash it away When you've had enough and it starts to flood We can break like a tidal wave and wash it away I hear the wind A storm is moving in, it's getting closer and closer For all these days I've been my own barricade, I'm not afraid anymore So, watch me break at the shore It's been building up and become too much Like the pouring rain, we can wash it away When you've had enough and it starts to flood We can break like a tidal wave and wash it away So, let it wash away So sick and tired of waiting Won't stop till I'm bleeding Break at the shore You gotta wash it away So sick and tired of waiting Won't stop till I'm bleeding It's been building up and become too much Like the pouring rain, we can wash it away When you've had enough and it starts to flood We can break like a tidal wave and wash it away (We can wash it away) We can break like a tidal wave and wash it away

All the city lights that I'm seeing They're the only dream I believe in I'm trying, I'm trying for you Dying, I'm dying for you I said hello, I say goodbye And I'll see you again in the next life I'm trying, I'm trying for you Dying, I'm dying for you Every time I feel the nights grow cold Your memory reminds me to stay gold And even though sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours This is a struggle, this is my storm All the city lights that I'm seeing They're the only dream I believe in I'm trying, I'm trying for you Dying, I'm dying for you I said hello, I say goodbye And I'll see you again in the next life I'm trying, I'm trying for you Dying, I'm dying for you And every time I feel the nights grow cold Your memory reminds me to stay gold

Listen up I need you to hear me out so I'll ask this question Think hard Are you willing to risk it all to learn this lesson? Embrace the change, sometimes in life there's pain The things that give us hope can also take it away You say it won't be easy, I know it never is Fight through the fear inside me, won't dim the light in my chest I'm not afraid of falling, so put me to the test 'Cause I know that I gotta earn it You strike the match and I'll burn it down Strike the match and I'll burn it Down The truth hits harder than the lie You sеaled your fate, you chose your sidе You take and you take until nothing is mine But now I draw the line You say it won't be easy, I know it never is Fight through the fear inside me, won't dim the light in my chest I'm not afraid of falling, so put me to the test 'Cause I know that I gotta earn it You strike the match and I'll burn it down I earned it and you didn't If you want it, come get it If you want it then come and get it, yeah You say it won't be easy, I know it never is I know there's demons out there, I lay them all to rest I've been to hell and back now, it's just a place in my head I know it's never easy, but put me to the test 'Cause I know that I gotta earn it You strike the match and I'll burn it down Burn it down I earned it and you didn't If you want it, then come get it

I pulled you out from a burning wreck But I'm the one with the broken neck I took a chance and let you in But it meant nothing in the bitter end As above, so below, and now you know You can't make me kneel Tell me, how does it feel When you play God? Tell me, how does it feel When you play God? I know your wrath isn't real You thought you'd leave me for dead Just know there's consequences When you play God Shadowboxing with my own fists You're placing bets on every miss I saved your life, tiеd the tourniquet I should've lеt it bleed out on the pavement As above you make me feel so below I've had enough, and I hope you know That your fate is sealed Tell me, how does it feel When you play God? Tell me, how does it feel When you play God? I know your wrath isn't real You thought you'd leave me for dead Just know there's consequences When you play When you play God The only way to heal is to hurt more The only way to heal is to hurt more The only way to heal is to hurt more I'll embrace the pain, so you should brace for War How does it feel When you play God? How does it feel When you play God? How does it feel When you play God? How does it feel When you play God? How does it feel

There will be a reckoning It's coming back again like a chainsaw Ripping apart what's in its path Coming for me, but not this time Not this time around Cries of the past are beckoning Calling for a reckoning When the hunter becomes the hunted, who will concede? There will be a reckoning Try to break me down, cave in, give up And start to dig the deeper grave, buried alive But not this time Not this time around Cries of the past are beckoning Calling for a reckoning Whеn the hunter becomеs the hunted, who will concede? There will be a reckoning I see it, I hear it, it's mad I feel it, and it's coming in fast I see it, I hear it, it's back Right in my sights, go for the kill shot For the kill shot No more time to hesitate I must act fast I must act now Cries of the past are beckoning Calling for a reckoning When the hunter becomes the hunted, who will concede? There will be a reckoning Run, seek, find, relief Hide from your own defeat Run, seek, find, relief Hide from your own defeat

We have to follow, go where our hearts go For better or worse, it's both a blessing and a curse We hold on to every moment embraced along the way We need to see it again, live it again, hear it That's all we can ask for It leaves me breathless, takes all the air away from my lungs I wish this was endless, if only our song could forever be sung These days are numbered, so keep on screaming until our hearts break We can't keep hoping for a change Sorrow, we still don't wanna know Life will not wait, it's now or never I said it before, I'll say it again So sing it again It leaves me breathless, takes all the air away from my lungs I wish this was endless, if only our song could forever be sung And I need to find a way to keep it on repeat So that when I'm gone, it goes on and on and on In this place, is my saving grace I know it's my fate, make no mistake In this place, is my saving grace I know it's my fate, make no mistake Take it away, take it away Take it away, take it away Sing it again, scream it again Return my words to me It leaves me breathless, takes all the air away from my lungs I wish this was endless, if only our song could forever be sung And I need to find a way to keep it on repeat So that when I'm gone, it goes on and on and on It leaves me breathless, takes all the air away from my lungs I wish this was endless, if only our song could forever be sung
