Not My Ghost Lyrics

This callused heart cant speak

Of the internal scar that you caused me

And if there's one thing this life taught me

It's that men don't cry and mothers weep

And I'll dig my own grave in the dark

While I write a few stories and I'll sing a few bars

Those tears are poison rollin' down your cheek

When you fall to your knees cause' you're way too weak

When I'm thrown in the water would you rescue me

Or would you take out the dagger right from your sheath

Would you take out the dagger right from your sheath

You chained me down and I know

I'm better off on my own

Your skin corrodes my soul

You're a memory and not my ghost

You're a memory and not my ghost

And I went down to the river today

With a couple a rings and a reason to pray

And you're baptized in the fire and haze

Yeah the devil is waiting he's got blood on your name

And I threw away the lock and key to my heart

And I opened up the box to this broken guitar

Loves a song I couldn't play from the start

And life for the wicked only gets ya so far

You chained me down and I know

I'm better off on my own

Your skin corrodes my soul

You're a memory and not my ghost

You're a memory and not my ghost
