The Ghost Inside

I can’t stop screaming these words over again. Until breath escapes and my chest caves in. It doesn’t matter where I’ve been. Can’t give in, and shut down. Just breathe in and breathe out and begin. I shook the hand of doubt so I could sever the lines that...

But when the spotlight comes, where have the words gone? The fall from grace is paved with your lies. Stand strong behind your beliefs, if you can even manage to stand at all. What happened to the blood pumping through your veins? You’ve scattered the ash...

We're from a long line of people running from themselves. Let's look alive. The sun is blocked out from sight. All days turn to night. I'm done running from myself. I speak for no one else. No. Everyday in succession. Until we come undone. Nah. This is me...

Make haste and find the future. We were outcasted so tragically. Curse the tide, and shun the sun, who needs it anyway? Become a black sheep with me. I stayed up long nights, staring wide-eyed at the sea. Throwing rocks and yelling but it made a man out of...

Rushing in and out, and in and out of my mind (I'm out of my mind). We live and obey with some kind of hate. Dreading the time to come when we've got no time at all. I want to take the time to stop and think about doing this, and what it might mean to be...

True dedication most just do not posses When push becomes shove, can you rise above the rest? Waves of words, they fall short and crash at my feet Such are the ways of the weak "I'm not scared!" It's all that I know Done nothing but travel without knowin...

The second hand looks like a knife As it's counting down the rest of our lives. So hard to swallow, No steps to follow, It became so hard to survive. Dear Youth, What was your big plan? You made us believe We had the world in our hands! We left home...

You are the deceiver. No excuse for the years you've spent cold. Spreading words like fire to build an arm, Just to watch them burn. You want to watch them burn. You can't trust this. All these false prophets stand before me Spitting venom just to make...

Making the choice of being here or there, is the hardest thing I've had to do. Its not as clear and concise as one would think. I'm following my hopes and dreams, and doing what's right for me. A line was drawn, my choice was made Given the chance, I'll...

Some still believe, but others like me, see what's inside. A scapegoat for reasons why, and wishes washed away. At times like these, I guess best for us this way. Upset and forgotten, are your only prayers Knelt and barely breathing, your battered heart has...

Days can fade, and lives can slip away. Any song can be silenced. It's time that we start this over. I know what it's like to fall face down. We’ve all been there before, with no life in sight. When it feels like the world just gave up, with no strength to see...

Grab ahold of me, I've got my arms up. Pull me out from this darkness. It's so hard for me to see so light up the end of that tunnel. If it's a war you came to see you will never see a waved white flag in front me. I cant end up dead, I wont be misled. I...

This will not be the new revival or a claim to fame. Far away from the slings and arrows is where you go to pass your blame. It's the ones with no courage that can't face the day. A captain with no ship is just a castaway. I sent my heart out to sea. I se...

Three years, and counting, a long time for any endeavors. Just get us away from here I have something you should know, that this will never end, and our legs will forever hold these scars. There's something you should know, there's more to this story, we'll...

All the wrath and all the faith I have inside is eating me alive. Most tend to put their dreams aside to get them through the day. But my eyes are open, and I see the sky. And I am infinite. I continue on. I will never fear the unknown, and I am infinite. I ca...

Tonight's my night Unlike any others I've never felt this alive So far away is death and decay, I won't age a day, it's my time to shine I'll live for today knowing that tomorrow might never come But I'm content knowing I've made the most of the days, mo...

For whom the bell tolls. There’s a hurricane raging inside me. The second wave is right there behind me. Don’t leave me alone, as this fire burns whole. Before there’s nothing left to atone. Breathe new life into me. Send waves to crash right through me....

I leave behind this sentiment to the man that I'll become Telling him not to be burdened by the things that I have done The longest days and endless nights have become the routine Far beyond frustration. It's the end to all my means Constantly incomplete...

Consider this my endnote to be read when I’m gone. I have always been looking for this, dying for this, but It seems I've lost track. This is everything I believed in. This is what I'll take back. We won’t compete. I won’t fight for a throne that doesn’t e...

It appears that we can’t rely on common sense. Let’s act our age and turn the page on this intolerance. Because we’re not meant to live like this. By-products of ignorance. This is out of control, it’s out of control, it's gotta go. You're scared of what y...

We’re so disconnected but not misdirected. They think that we are nothing, but I believe in something more. You watch the clock wind down and let the days go by. You justify the time you’ve spent, but all you do is make the rent. We’ll be buried with our memo...

I say fear me and fear death, too You can't keep me on the ground Made to suffer, but no longer; this is coming to an end It's time for your reign to stop its constant downpour Endure this drought that you've been bringing on for so long Fear me, fear death,...

Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe. I'll never be what you think I should be. No, not today. I'll never say all the things I should say. I'm only human. More often than not, you're gonna feel alone. It's a long fall from the top. Can you stand it? Gave it...

There's snakes among us I never bothered to find. Starry eyed and tongue tied, blurting out and rambling. On and on and on, Just hit repeat. On and on and on, One more time. There's snakes among us who's to blame this time? My own phoenix flight,...

The Ghost Inside - Shiner : Pages past and pointed to, lost along the way, never knowing infinity. And only one thing is certain, tragedy. The swell and storm, tides rise and wash away remembrance. Syphon through the sand, force felt through time. Radiate....

Desert dry and tired, sleeping underneath the stars. Longing for, but still laughing the whole time, that piece that makes you "home." Spiral downward. Mesmerized the way down Destiny sure had a plan for me. Its nothing new for some of you, a siren's song...

We look up to the sky, I swear it never ends. Walk down the road on any path we choose. But then something changed, now days just aren’t the same. I’m feeling so empty like part of me has been removed. My youth is getting older. It got left out in the bit...

I could tell you what you want to hear to hold you off another year. But I hope the truth finds you well. A common praise. A passing phase. Moving forward? Not today! The limit's in the sky, but will you be reaching it tonight? Tonight you got to test th...

There are no sides to choose from, just things to hate. And I for one, hate myself today Bring me down. Don't listen to me, if you're not ready cuz bravery means more to me than just fighting Shoot and kill, its dead and gone. Now please just forget me....

Let's put an end to this once and for all. We've found strength in numbers. And when your time runs out, what will you believe? I'm in no search for salvation or sanity. Your words are bringing me down. Just leave me be. A sinking ship, escape from these...

Sometimes we get so low Downsides are all we see Your world is swallowed whole And now you're all alone waiting for me I put my faith in the ones I trust to stick it out Who never tuck their tail and run That's what friendship's all about I'm sick...

The Ghost Inside - The Lion War : I've been thinking but nothing's coming to mind. Hopefully, I get further than I did those times before. Hours spent sustained, is time spent in vain. The sonnace sent out, sometimes, more pacifying than words will ever be....

We believe in a system that has long been broken. We turn the other cheek without a glimpse of emotion. Always looking out for number one. Why do you need more while others have none? Measure my worth by what I’ve done, not what I’ve become. I spanned th...

Searching for something that cannot be found. An end with no means to reach. Look to the light that we’ll never see. Is this life? Or some kind of dream? I am a dreamer, so blind my eyes. My absence meant more than this. All the things I've come to miss (and b...

I was lead to believe, but now I know for sure. When the wind's knocked out of me. Only one thing that can be cure and bring me to my feet. When all the words just relate. I just hit play, and when the record comes to an end. I'll listen all over again....

This is what I know about sacrifice: Meet me at the crossroads. Let's go. This life is constant sacrifice. I laid myself out for the world to see. This time I'm going to get it right. My past should be more than just a memory. I said that I would give anythi...

Pride and pity play no part of the process. Like allegiance lost in hellfire, I've lost it all. Tell the maker of my grave that I'm not dead. There's far too many things in life I left unsaid. Any face and any place to tell me none of this was in vain....

We're bringing on the night, and everything that it entails This is for all the of times I've been made into a saint Haunted by a halo you thought was a way out We tell ourselves these things in hopes it brings us to the path we seek The only hope was the...

I've got something here worth fighting for. (Give it all, Give it all, Give it all) Give me everything that you've got. Its all for one, or its none for all. You're giving me the reason to keep coming back again and again. (Give it all, Give it all, Giv...

You left some hope instilled in me That I never should give up on anything I know this made you proud of me So this song remains for those who hurt like me The man in black. He rides alone to a final destination unknown. The man in black. He rides alone:...

This is not a dream cause I am not asleep. I’ll need more than a metaphor if I want to earn my keep. My head is in clouds. My feet are on the ground. Even if I fall I’ll always stand proud. I'll carry my weight where brave dare go. Through sleet, throug...

Somewhere along the way we got thrown off track. Though we tried so hard to keep ourselves in check. We’ve grown so used to this lack of sleep. Exhausted from an overwhelming defeat. Whoa, I can't find my way. There's no path to guide me. The more I g...
