Old Ghosts // New Stories

I don't know what I'm running from
That's a lie I tell myself every day
I'm trying to outrun these old ghosts
I prayed by now they'd fly away
But these old ghosts tell new stories
About why the rest wouldn't stay
I thought that I'd escape by now
I fear they'll haunt me all my days
And now I wonder

Is anybody out there
Can anybody hear me
Or are You just an old ghost too
I've heard all the legends about what You used to do
Maybe You skipped town
No new stories to tell
Is that why I'm dying for heaven
But I'm living in hell

I can't say your name
They say you've got to name it to cast it out
You were the first one that I told my mother about
Dark night, with the fire dancing in the air
You're like a phantom, now
Were you ever really there
And now I wonder

Is anybody out there
Can anybody hear me
Or are You just an old ghost too
I've heard all the legends about what You used to do
Maybe You skipped town
No new stories to tell
Is that why I'm dying for heaven
But I'm living in hell

Now I'm starting to see
Now I'm starting to see

That the ghost is me
That the ghost is me
That the ghost is me
That the ghost is me
That the ghost is me
That the ghost is me
That the ghost is me
That the ghost is me
