lyrics

If your words packed less of a punch
This emergency room would be a lot less daunting
If I hadn’t fallen short of expectations
What you did would be a lot less haunting
My body isn’t home anymore
I can hardly feeling
You call a “predicament” an “accident”
I’ll call it what it is
Like a car in the rearview mirror
I see you ready to knock me down again
The harder I try
The closer you are

I brought a knife to a ghost fight
I thought I could handle my demons
Here they are, back again,
under my skin
Pulling me back to that place again

My body isn’t home anymore
Before you I knew who I was
I knew what I believed in
Now I’m winning small battles
My spirit is shattered

The nightmares, they plague me
I’m not a sum of bad dreams
I’m stronger than I seem
I’ll reclaim what is mine
I know that in time
I’ll be better

I brought a knife to a ghost fight
I thought I could handle my demons
Here they are, back again,
under my skin
Pulling me back to that place again
