As another door slams shut I walk away I’m just this proud boy Struggling to be humble and all this while I’m asking myself Am I the one to blame For all my misfortunes Am I? For years on end, fighting uphill battles Again and again I need no reminder, for this broken heart, rattling in my chest Hunting for breath, fighting to stand, my strength wearing away For years on end Fighting uphill battles Again and again I’m worn out by these battles My bones are brittle Where can I find my rest And while I try to hide I come to the conclusion this raging war won’t let me last Face the music that desolate tune My heart in a vault wasting away Scared to open up for it could be scarred again Was I meant to be alone? For years on end, Fighting uphill battles, Again and again I need no reminder, for this broken heart, rattling in my chest Hunting for breath, fighting to stand, my strength wearing away For years on end Fighting uphill battles Again and again And I try and remind myself It ain’t this bad I remind myself As long as there is hope there can be a change This hope, my final straw I’ll never let it go, carry it close to my heart When everything falls apart Storms are raging I want to shout out loud It is your sun that breaks through the darkness Your mighty hand that’s over me gives me shelter Your words that convey comfort Your breath that gives me life

When you're life will flash before your eyes   tell me what you'll see Did you live your life like a bastard son unsure of what you could live up to be.  -What will fate- have in store for me Money has bought you friends but didn't get you loyalty,  -You can sleep- but inside you won't find peace Don’t forget you're not made for this, or is this who you truly want to be? Had so many plans when I was young Now only one question remains; where did I go wrong? They will try to steal your thunder Tell you stories and other lies Don’t forget you're made for bigger things Bigger than life, flashing before your eyes Had so many plans when I was young Now only one question remains; where did I go wrong? No rest for the wicked Restless is all I can be No rest for the wicked Never thought that would be me They will try to steal your thunder Tell you stories and other lies Dont forget you're made for bigger things Bigger than life, life flashing before your eyes

Old Ghosts 04:31
I wish these chains were broken Wish the past would stay the past Life’s become unbearable  I am done with this old ghost, but it won’t leave me alone Please set me free, at last!  Past mistakes haunt me, guilt follows me around And thoughts of the “old me” seem so relevant today But did I not grow? Am I still the same? Cannot seem to outrun my past, it never goes away It feels like I’m surrounded by something I can’t see It’s like some kind of entity is still tormenting me Sometimes it paralyzes or takes my breath away  At times it even dictates what I do or what I say To let go of the past While it won’t let me go I wish these chains were broken Wish the past would stay the past Life has become unbearable  I am done with this old ghost, but it won’t leave me alone Please set me free, at last! Years-of-weight- rest on my shoulders, experiences long gone by Keep adding up, slowing me down more and more each day What will happen when one day this burden gets to big Will I be buried underneath when it crushes me complete Helpless as a victim of the spirits from the past Will-they-feast-upon what’s left of me and welcome me as their own Then I will be the haunting ghost in someone else’s life And make their life a living hell from then until forever To let go of the past While it won’t let me go Can I set myself free? Is there any hope for me? Want to believe there comes a time when my mourning is turned to joy  So I will stand up straight Confront this demon that’s been with me for so long  Remind him who I am  You have no authority over me!!! I give you up, my old ghost. You’re not welcome anymore. I'm not you anymore. So just die! Why won't you go towards the light? Why won't you leave me alone? You bring nothing but pain, regret and shame. It's time to go and finally leave me alone!

Coward 04:17
Why did you leave me behind? Was I not worth the fight? What did you hope to find? These questions are aching my mind What did your father do to you? Had he abandoned you too? Did your suffering make you blind? These questions are aching my mind Were you proud to be my dad? ‘cause you wrote me that you were But your actions didn’t back your words You didn’t give me what I needed as a kid And yes, we wrote from time to time but somehow we kept it shallow  And now I’ve come to realize I don’t really know you at all Had to figure out alone The man I’m supposed to be But I'm not the only one All these kids from broken homes I think you're a coward You ran away when I needed you the most You abandoned your family To me you're a hoax I'm afraid to be just like you 'cause she says I'm just like you But these scars won’t change my fate And leave me consumed by hate Had to figure out alone The man I'm supposed to be I am not the only one All these kids from broken homes I want you to know I forgive you I can ask these questions But you'll never answer You’ll never answer
