[Intro] Late night Old road Low moon Heavy soul Yeah This one’s for the boys That never made it back [Chorus] I’m over here haunted By the ghosts of my past Boys I loved Gone way too fast Some got lost Some got trapped Some went down And never came back I walked out But I didn’t let go Still see faces In the window Peace came slow But it came at last I’m still haunted By the ghosts of my past [Verse 1] Back then Dusty shoes Broken homes Nothing new Young hearts Acting grown Some felt safe Some felt alone I had prayers You had doubt You had reasons You talked out I won’t lie I understood God felt far Where we stood Then that lake Went cold and still One bad day Time got killed Hands in water Panic breath Just a kid Fighting death Couldn’t pull The ending back Still got blamed For what went black People cried People lied Grief got mean Pride took sides Then they said You found faith Right before You slipped away But I knew How you stood And I won’t clean What you never would [Chorus] I’m over here haunted By the ghosts of my past Boys I loved Gone way too fast Some got lost Some got trapped Some went down And never came back I walked out But I didn’t let go Still see faces In the window Peace came slow But it came at last I’m still haunted By the ghosts of my past [Verse 2] Some got doors That locked too tight Steel bars No porch light Some got crushed Before the charge Life hit first Then the law hit hard Books stacked Rent due Young mind No clue Trying hard To stay ahead World kept talking Doom and debt Then a plant Turned into fear Life got loud Hope disappeared System scared him Life had bent him We all reached But couldn’t get him That one sits Deep in my chest Like maybe love Still did its best For the boys With quiet eyes For the ones That stopped asking why For the names I never say But still ride shotgun Every day [Chorus] I’m over here haunted By the ghosts of my past Boys I loved Gone way too fast Some got lost Some got trapped Some went down And never came back I walked out But I didn’t let go Still see faces In the window Peace came slow But it came at last I’m still haunted By the ghosts of my past [Bridge] I might’ve walked But I didn’t erase Every scar Every face Closure ain’t clean Peace ain’t fast I just learned How to hold my past I was no god No chosen hand Just a scared kid Trying to stand So I breathe now Let it be Still haunted But finally free [Verse 3] Then she came Right on time When I had storms Inside my mind Depression loud Money thin Hard roads out Harder roads in We been through Hell and rain Long nights Old pain But my eyes Never left her Even when noise Made storms get worse Mind gets twisted In the sound But she stayed close When I broke down Pancake vows Friends first Love ain’t clean But it still works Nothing perfect Still we stand Her heart in mine My life in hand If the road burns If skies turn black I’d bleed for her And never look back [Final Chorus] I’m over here haunted By the ghosts of my past Boys I loved Gone way too fast Some got lost Some got trapped Some went down And never came back I walked out But I didn’t let go Still see faces In the window Peace came slow But it came at last I’m still haunted By the ghosts of my past [Outro] Still haunted But I understand Some old names Stay in your hands I made it out But I ain’t clean Just found love And kept the dream Ghosts of my past Still ride with me But they don’t drive Where I’m meant to be 🎙️ BloodOnTheMic: We’re live across the major streaming platforms.
