(Spoken Word Intro) They tell you to face your demons. But what do you do when the demons have your face? (Verse 1) Yeah, I'm here again, in this room I've always known But the walls feel different, like I'm completely all alone. Every single shadow holds a face I used to be, Yeah, the old me's still alive, just livin' rent-free inside of me. I see the person I was, and I hate the things he did, He's the one who made these messes, then just ran away and hid. Tried to tell myself I changed, but some days it just feels fake, Like this rise I'm on is fragile, just a path I'm 'bout to break. (Chorus) 'Cause I'm just haunting the corners, yeah, the corners of my mind, Trying to find the person that I know I left behind. And the past is like a mirror, a reflection I can't stand, Just a ghost in my own body, with a future in my hand. I'm just haunting the corners, waiting for the day I'm free, From all the ghosts and all the memories that are still a part of me. (Verse 2) Used to wander in the darkness, where the shadows never fade, Every step a testament to the promises I made and broke and strayed. Yeah, the memories feel like shackles, dragging me down in the mud, Tried to wash 'em clean but it's a stain that's running through my blood. Lost the fight with my reflection, seein' the failure in my eyes, And every time I tried to rise, I'd just get caught within the lies. My own mind's a cage I'm pacing, a mirror of my self-doubt, Just a ghost haunting the corners, trying to figure a way out. (Chorus) 'Cause I'm just haunting the corners, yeah, the corners of my mind, Trying to find the person that I know I left behind. And the past is like a mirror, a reflection I can't stand, Just a ghost in my own body, with a future in my hand. I'm just haunting the corners, waiting for the day I'm free, From all the ghosts and all the memories that are still a part of me. (Bridge) I'm tired of running from this, yeah, I'm tired of the chase, This sorrow feels so permanent, so rooted in this place. But I know that just acknowledging the depth of all this pain, Is the first step to finally standing in the sun and feelin' rain. So I'll face the corners of my mind, and I'll look the ghosts in their eyes, 'Cause maybe they'll finally fade out, with no more need for their disguise. (Verse 3) Every night I close my eyes, a silent war begins, Against the doubts and all the demons that are buried deep within. The sun is rising slowly, yeah, it's piercing through the haze, But the shadows I'm still battling are clinging to my days. I'm burning down the bridges that connected to the past, 'Cause the old foundations crumble, they were never meant to last. And the weight is getting lighter with every step I take, A different path I'm carving out from the choices I now make. (Chorus) 'Cause I'm just haunting the corners, yeah, the corners of my mind, Trying to find the person that I know I left behind. And the past is like a mirror, a reflection I can't stand, Just a ghost in my own body, with a future in my hand. I'm just haunting the corners, waiting for the day I'm free, From all the ghosts and all the memories that are still a part of me. (Outro) The ghosts are fading in the rear. I'm the person that I know.
