Lyrics

Is that the scream of the midnight train?
Or the dull whisper of the autumn rain?
It's not the static from the goddamn box, man
Keeping me from sleep
It's the voice only I can hear, the voice of failure
The voice of a defeated man breathing down my neck
And will this ghost haunt my every move?
Every step I take, I hope and pray for the day
He'll let me go, and pass me by
But he stays perched on my back
Stuck in my side, he'll
Says if you fail again, nowhere will be your rest
I cannot live like this
I've been dancing in your shallow grave, making myself at home
Been shedding your empty casket, yet you refuse to let me go
You've carved a hole in my heart
Filled it with fear and doubt
Tell me it's for the best
One day I'll understand
Is that the sound of the midnight train?
Or the faint screams of men like me?
Giving up everything we have
Being all we can be
This is me, this is me
Half man, half machine
This is me, this is me
The damaged product of my mistakes
We are the losses, the failures, the ghosts
Locked in our heads, deprived of all hope
Tangled up in bad luck
But I won't give up
