Ghosts Of My Youth

(Album: Black Sheep - 2014)

Give me resolve to say I'm coming clean
Show me a way and let your light surround me
I'm so lost, drowning in a consequence I could have avoided
But I had to let you go, you know

Is this a lie? Am I just caught between
Reality and all my stupid hopes and dreams?
I've got a lot to say
I'm screaming, can you hear me?

In all of space and time, through all the ways we tried
We found a perfect lie and held on way too tight

The ghosts of my youth are haunting me
I see their faces so clearly
The ghosts of my youth; torturing me
I never let them go

3 years later, it's just so serene
We had it all when we were only 17
But now you're gone. I'm burning in your bitterness
Let it go and we'll both be better off, you know

Take a second and remember me
Never forget, we got along just swimmingly
There's still a place for this in your heart. Please forgive me

In all of space and time, through all the ways we tried
We found a perfect lie and held on way too tight

The ghosts of my youth are haunting me
I see their faces so clearly
The ghosts of my youth, torturing me
I never let them go

I miss you. I'm so sorry brother
I never meant to crush you
I only wanted you to find the fire within
So find the fire within, I'll be waiting

In all of space and time, through all the ways we tried
We found a perfect lie and held on way too tight

The ghosts of my youth are haunting me
I see their faces so clearly
The ghosts of my youth; torturing me
I never let them go
