Lyrics

Running from the Ghost

I'm running from the ghost
The ghost inside of me
Heavy on my mind, still fight him in my sleep
I see him all the time, the Jekyll to my Hyde
Down each and every road, no matter where I go
I'll be running from the ghost
I'll be running from the ghost
I'll be running from the ghost
Ghost, ghost
Ghost, ghost
Wake me up, set me free
Can't take back all the things I've seen
Darkest days, no beliefs
Feel the hope fall away from me and
Don't you pray for me, it's too late for me
What can save me? It's night and day for me
Can't go back there to cold hard memories
Just one way for me
I'll be running from the ghost
The ghost inside of me
Heavy on my mind, still fight him in my sleep
I see him all the time, the Jekyll to my Hyde
Down each and every road, no matter where I go
I'll be running from the ghost
Keep running from the ghost
I'll be running from the ghost
Keep running from the ghost
Oh, yeah
Ghost
Wake me up, set me free
Can't take back all the things I've seen
Darkest days (darkest days), no beliefs (no beliefs)
Feel the hope fall away from me and
Don't you pray for me, it's too late for me
What can save me? It's night and day for me
Can't go back there to cold hard memories
Just one way for me
I'll keep running from the ghost, from the ghost
I'll keep running from the ghost, from the ghost
I'll keep running from the ghost
