Ghosts

I can't escape my past No matter what I do My penance bares no reprieve And only sorrow insumes Haunted by former self I count up all my mistakes Clenched fist gripping tighter Ever consumed by shame Shake off the ghosts of old They only weigh you down Redemption's a long road Better start walking now Folks tend to judge my name Based on who I was Those days are over now I know who I've become Shake off the ghosts of old They only weigh you down Redemption's a long road Better start walking now Still, every now and then Those apparitions return Creepin' round in my head If nothing else I've learned Shake off the ghosts of old They only weigh you down Redemption's a long road Better start walking now, eh Better start walking now Oh!
