I

Woke up to those ghosts

Sitting on my chest again

Same old sins a smilin

Sayin"Let's be friends"

Mirror don't lie

But it also don't forgive

Just shows me the cost

Of the life I've lived

I poured out the whiskey

But I kept the glass

Prayin' that the future

Don't repeat the past


Every bridge I've burned

Is a lesson learned too late

Just a lost soul being strangled

By the heavy hands of fate

I'm reaching out for grace

That I'm terrified to find

Searchin' for a flicker of light

In the shadows of my mind

I'm screaming at the silence

Just to hear a different sound

While the weight of my secrets

Is keepin' me pinned to the ground


I keep on countin' the moments

That I shoulda chosen right

Every"I'll do it tomorrow"

That never saw the light

I wear my past like armor

But it cuts me when I move

Tried runnin' from who I was

But I'm still wearing his damn shoes


Every bridge I've burned

Is a lesson learned too late

Just a lost soul being strangled

By the heavy hands of fate

I'm reaching out for grace

That I'm terrified to find

Searchin' for a flicker of light

In the shadows of my mind

I'm screaming at the silence

Just to hear a different sound

While the weight of my secrets

Is keepin' me pinned to the ground


Redemption stands in front of me

Like it knows my damn name

Askin' if I'm done with the damage

Or just better hidin' it today

I keep my head down low

When that voice comes around

'Cause hopin' feels too dangerous

When you're livin this far down


I'm reaching out for grace

That I'm terrified to find

Searchin' for a flicker of light

In the shadows of my mind

I'm screaming at the silence

Just to hear a different sound

While the weight of my secrets

Is keepin' me pinned to the ground
