Laid the Ghosts to Rest

Nu-metal trap, energetic, powerful, have the audience singing along

V6-MINI

Verse 1)
Shadows try to tell me who I ought to be
Trying to put a cage around the ghost of me
Every single corner has a whispered name
Pointing fingers, judging like they know the game
They want a polished version, neat and small
Someone who will bend and never stand up tall
So I wipe the mirror clean and look inside
No more hiding out, no place left to run or hide
(Chorus)
'Cause I remember who I am when the noise fades out
I found my own voice underneath the doubt
Let 'em stare, let 'em talk, let 'em watch me burn
Every single lesson is a page I've turned
I'm done apologizing for the fire in my chest
I'm finally at peace, and I've laid the ghosts to rest
Yeah, I don't give a damn what they think of me now
(Verse 2)
Stumbled through the valley, lost a piece or two
Trying to fit the mold of what they wanted me to do
Carried heavy stones that didn't even fit my hands
Building up a castle out of sinking sands
Then the thunder hit and washed the dirt away
And I finally woke up to a brand new day
Saw the scars I earned and wore 'em like a crown
Ain't nobody left who's gonna drag me down
(Chorus)
'Cause I remember who I am when the noise fades out
I found my own voice underneath the doubt
Let 'em stare, let 'em talk, let 'em watch me burn
Every single lesson is a page I've turned
I'm done apologizing for the fire in my chest
I'm finally at peace, and I've laid the ghosts to rest
Yeah, I don't give a damn what they think of me now
(Bridge)
It's a heavy price to pay just to keep 'em pleased
Living half-alive out here on my knees
No more swallowing my words to keep the weather calm
I'd rather be the storm than be their quiet song
Yeah, let 'em talk... let 'em talk
(Guitar / Beat Drop - Instrumental Build)
(Chorus)
'Cause I remember who I am when the noise fades out
I found my own voice underneath the doubt
Let 'em stare, let 'em talk, let 'em watch me burn
Every single lesson is a page I've turned
I'm done apologizing for the fire in my chest
I'm finally at peace, and I've laid the ghosts to rest
Yeah, I don't give a damn what they think of me now
(Outro)
Yeah, I know who I am.
No more hiding.
No more trying to fit the frame.
Just me.
Let 'em talk.
