I am the ghost in the shadows, I am the fear of the dark I am the murderer of apathy, an angel that's fallen I am the psycho, the sinner, I am what you can't escape I am the splinter underneath your skin I am a monster With a bang I feel my heart start to separate The enemy within can no longer be contained I'm running from myself There's something inside of me And it's ripping a hole through my chest I spit the fire from my lungs The creature I buried is now the beast that I've become (We pretend that we can be somebody else) But heaven's judgment's nothing when you're already in hell So take these broken wings, they'll just slow me down (I'll never be the same, I'll never be the same) And take my fragile heart, they'll just tear it out (This is the end of a broken me) They call me to the lights I am the ghost in the shadows, I am the fear of the dark I am the murderer of apathy, an angel that's fallen I am the psycho, the sinner, I am what you can't escape I am the splinter underneath your skin I am a monster I feel so goddamn tired and I can't escape the things I've lost The cycle repeats and repeats and I can't turn the fucking power off I hate the things that I'm not and I'm sick of how this has to end I tried to reason with you but now all of you are fucking dead I am the living dead, I am the living dead I walk through hell alone and none of you can save me now So take these broken wings, they'll just slow me down (I'll never be the same, I'll never be the same) And take my fragile heart, they'll just tear it out (This is the end of a broken me) They call me to the lights Their voices just like thunder They call me to the lights But I am already gone, what have I done? I am the ghost in the shadows, I am the fear of the dark I am the murderer of apathy, an angel that's fallen I am the psycho, the sinner, I am what you can't escape I am the splinter underneath your skin I am a monster
