[Intro] [Dark, atmospheric piano] [Verse 1] There's a shadow in the hallway There's a whisper in the rain There's a face inside the mirror That I can't forget again I've been sleeping with the lights on I've been counting every sound Every time I think I've escaped Something pulls me underground [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself the dawn will save me I tell myself I'm finally free But every time the morning finds me There's another ghost inside of me [Chorus] I'm haunted by tomorrow I'm haunted by the things I fear By the tears I haven't cried yet By the words I haven't heard I'm running from the darkness But it's always one step ahead I'm haunted by tomorrow And the ghosts inside my head [Verse 2] I could leave this town behind me I could burn the photographs I could swear I'd never look back I could bury all the past But the silence knows my secrets And the darkness knows my name Every road that leads to freedom Brings me back to where I came [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself that I can change this I tell myself I've found the key But every time I close my eyes The future comes for me [Chorus] I'm haunted by tomorrow I'm haunted by the things I fear By the tears I haven't cried yet By the words I haven't heard I'm running from the darkness But it's always one step ahead I'm haunted by tomorrow And the ghosts inside my head [Electric Guitar Solo] [Melodic, haunting electric-guitar lead over dark piano, bass, and driving rock drums; sustained emotional bends build toward the bridge] [Bridge] What if the monster isn't waiting In some place I've never known? What if all the chains that bind me Are the ones I've made my own? I can't change the night behind me I can't know what lies ahead But I won't give another morning To the things that live inside my head [Final Chorus] I'm haunted by tomorrow By the shadows drawing near By the scars that still remember And the things I hold too dear But I'm standing in the darkness And I'm facing what I dread I'm haunted by tomorrow But it won't decide my end I'm haunted by tomorrow Still the dawn is coming through All the ghosts that came to claim me Don't get to decide what I do [Outro] [Piano and sustained electric guitar] Tomorrow's calling I hear it calling But I won't run I won't run
