Ghosts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't escape my past No matter what I do My penance bears no reprieve And only sorrow ensues Haunted by a former self I count up all my mistakes Clenched fist grippin' tighter Ever consumed by shame [Chorus] Shake off the ghosts of old They only weigh you down Redemption's a long road Better start walking now [Verse 2] Folks tend to judge my name Based on who I was Those days are over now I know who I've become [Chorus] Shake off the ghosts of old They only weigh you down Redemption's a long road Better start walking now [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Still every now and then Those apparitions return Creepin' 'round in my head If nothin' else I've learned [Chorus] Shake off the ghosts of old They only weigh you down Redemption's a long road Better start walking now Better start walking now
