Lyrics:
Verse
I stand in the valley of believers
You try to take it all
One job doesn’t justify the reason
Why I’m just a ghost
Pre-Chorus
Flying in the midnight sky
Trying to find a piece of mind
Peace of my soul and spirit
To make me feel alive
Chorus
I don’t want to be older now
I don’t want to take a piece off that crown
Can you bring me back? All the way back
To where the blood in my bones
Showed me the tragedies of living alone
Self made runaway
Just keep walking, don’t hesitate
Self made runaway
Verse 2
You walk in the city of deceivers
Where I’m supposed to go
Greedy eyes, telling lies to the dreamers
Now I’m just a ghost
Pre-Chorus
Flying in the midnight sky
Trying to find a piece of mind
Peace of my soul and spirit
To make me feel alive
Chorus
I don’t want to be older now
I don’t want to take a piece off that crown
Can you bring me back?
All the way back
To where the blood in my bones
Showed me the tragedies of living alone
Self made runaway
Just keep walking, don’t hesitate
Self made runaway
Bridge
6 feet underneath these broken wings
So sorry I never told you
What’s happening
I made a promise to come back and set you free
I wish I never sold you for my selfish needs
All my pages are falling out
Read em out
Scream em out
On the cover signs a statement: “I’ll come back for you”
Why didn’t I come back for you?
Chorus
I don’t want to be older now
I don’t want to take a piece off that crown Can you bring me back? All the way back To where the blood in my bones
Showed me the tragedies of living alone
Self made runaway
Just keep walking, don’t hesitate
Self made runaway
