Old Ghosts // New Stories Lyrics

I don't know what I'm running from

That's a lie I tell myself every day

I'm trying to outrun these old ghosts

I prayed by now they'd fly away

But these old ghosts tell new stories

About why the rest wouldn't stay

I thought that I'd escape by now

I fear they'll haunt me all my days

And now I wonder

Is anybody out there

Can anybody hear me

Or are You just an old ghost too

I've heard all the legends about what You used to do

Maybe You skipped town

No new stories to tell

Is that why I'm dying for heaven

But I'm living in hell

I can't say your name

They say you've got to name it to cast it out

You were the first one that I told my mother about

Dark night, with the fire dancing in the air

You're like a phantom, now

Were you ever really there

And now I wonder

Is anybody out there

Can anybody hear me

Or are You just an old ghost too

I've heard all the legends about what You used to do

Maybe You skipped town

No new stories to tell

Is that why I'm dying for heaven

But I'm living in hell

Now I'm starting to see

Now I'm starting to see

That the ghost is me

That the ghost is me

That the ghost is me

That the ghost is me

That the ghost is me

That the ghost is me

That the ghost is me

That the ghost is me
