lyrics

(Verse 1)
A ghost
A host
Of everything you’re running from the most
Maybe you should learn to run
If I have to learn to cope
I know exactly what they’re saying
I know that you’re alive
And you know that I’ve been waiting
For the day when I could see you
I made a promise to myself
And you know I plan to see it through
I wouldn’t chop this up to karma
I’ve got a score to settle
I’m going to haunt you

(Pre Chorus)
If that’s all you’ve got to say
Then I guess I’ll go and see you around
And if you think I’m blowing smoke
Then I hope you don’t plan on leaving town

(Chorus)
I dropped the ball
And took the fall
For a rat who thrived amongst us all
I never thought he would get this far
But it’s been too long
To right the wrong
Without a little hair of the dog
Before they take my soul and run

(Verse 2)
A chance
A glance
Did you really think it was a happenstance?
If you want to know the truth
Than I’m sorry in advance
Your eyes are so familiar
If they can see anything at all
I hope they’d see I’d never hurt her
You know your father was a good man
And I’ve been chasing death
Just so I could see his face again
And should they want my soul without a body
Then I hope you hear these words
And carry on my memory

(Pre Chorus 2)
Call me a murder
If you think that I’m a man who’d go and run
And if you want to test my luck
Then I guess you really are your father’s son

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
If they were angels
Then I’m the sinner they were sent to protect
How do we know the love we lost every really loved us back
If they were angels
I’m a sinner, and I refuse to repent
I want to shed the blood they claim they found all over my hands

(Chorus)
