lyrics
No-one knows if you're running or waiting for the chance to follow,
a fallen dream that will anchor both your feet to where you are, right where you are.
And don't forget the wisest words you know can keep you from the grief that's setting in.
So choke your burdened cries and from your side remove the thorn.
The heart grows weak when poisoned by a day that never dawns.
There's a ghost in this place, it haunts the day.
There's a ghost in this place, that holds the meaning of these broken years.
All alone the spirit hovers like a mist on the void, afraid to go through.
Afraid to shed new skin you're takings steps but stay where you are.
Right where you are.
Now giving in feels like a way to make your plans unfold, from the life you know.
You feel invisible to the people your affections hold, your flesh and bone does not appear transparent to the world.
There's a ghost in this place, it haunts the day.
There's a ghost in this place, that holds the meaning of these broken years.
Scars will not show before wounds are gone,
when the sun rises you'll know you're holding on.
Scars will not show before wounds are gone,
when the sun rises again, you're holding on.
Don't set it up to watch it fall.
It sooner or later does and that will bury me under it all, the weight of it all.
