J A C K F R O S T - Ghosts

Friday night, I'm still all by my lonesome
Haunted by ghosts, and only I know em
I designed my life so no one knows me
You won't get hurt if you just let go of me
Can't be saved, I'm afraid it's meant to be
Forgot my name in chains in captivity
Hide away and pray that you won't notice me
I can't believe I live so hopelessly
My father left when I was five, I barely cried about it then
Always knew my destiny, heard it calling in the wind
By the age of nine, on one hand, count all of my friends
And I couldn't comprehend why
In the darkest times, I still felt guided by a hand
In my heart, there's a light that I strive to understand
Almost lost my life, this is my last chance
Running out of time, it's my last stand
There was once a time I was a lesser man
In the past, I admit, I'm ashamed at how I ran
Making up for it now, doing everything I can
Trying not to drown, it still feels like I'm damned
Friday night, I'm still all by my lonesome
Haunted by ghosts, and only I know em
I designed my life so no one knows me
You won't get hurt if you just let go of me
Can't be saved, I'm afraid it's meant to be
Forgot my name in chains in captivity
Hide away and pray that you won't notice me
I can't believe I live so hopelessly
What's inside the mind of a traumatized psyche?
Corrupted by battle scars, I don't wear them lightly
There's a constant war inside me
How can you be good when you look around and everybody good is dying
I peer into the abyss, desensitized, it used to be frightening
Events I've been through manifest demons that haunt my weakened soul
Imagine always fighting no matter how many times you beat your foe
I was taught to conceal the pain, never let it show, never let me grow
Am I just not meant to make it? Please praying to God to let me know
I had dreams as a kid, I let them go
Into the void I go, black hole vertigo
I had nowhere left to go, came all this way to find out
These ghosts won't let me go, no
They're here with me right now
Friday night, I'm still all by my lonesome
Haunted by ghosts, and only I know em
I designed my life so no one knows me
You won't get hurt if you just let go of me
Can't be saved, I'm afraid it's meant to be
Forgot my name in chains in captivity
Hide away and pray that you won't notice me
I can't believe I live so hopelessly
