smash my drunken heart
no truth is all I need
the pressure is so high
it will smash my heart anyway
pressure, pain and time
create this world I'm in
to push old ghosts aside
won't work out
life's not a funny game to play
and steps to take
rules to make
and bonds to break
it's no offence but in the end it all depends
old ghosts won't set me free
old ghosts are creeping slowly
old ghosts won't let me rest in peace
old ghosts are haunting my dreams
old ghosts won't let me see
old ghosts are dancing with me
as you can't feel my fondness
I’d rather shield its frailty
I don't believe in soothsaying
but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy
do you dare to turn around
and face the door labeled 'your past'
with your father's face and your mother's eyes
and your sister's embrace
making the same mistakes
breaking the same good hearts
loving the same foolish ways that you wish
you could love yourself
and, yes, I'd like to go back
and change the ways I came to be
but then I'd be somebody somewhere else
and, tell me, would you be there?
no, we can't escape where we're coming from
we're not to blame for what they've done
we're walking straight into the past
with every step we take ahead
old ghosts ...
