For These Ghosts

Let go
I know that you’re sorry
So tangled up in blame
It’s about time we bury the hatchet
You’re transparent these days like a ghost
Just take a little time
To catch your breath, alleviate your mind
The past remains the past
The here and now has come around so don’t look backwards
All of the seasons are writing us reasons to just move forwards
The walls have been lowered the wounds have scarred over so
Let go
I know that you’re sorry
So tangled up in blame
It’s about time we bury the hatchet
You’re transparent these days like a ghost
The tension in the air
Has got me thinking that it’s time to share
The broken thoughts inside our heads
And maybe we can fix them in the end
For the sky still shines in vibrate shades of blue
For the sky still shines in vibrate shades of
Don’t look backwards
All of the seasons are writing us reasons to just move forwards
The walls have been lowered the wounds have scarred over so
Let go I know that you’re sorry
So tangled up in blame
It’s a damn shame life isn’t perfect
And we’re the ones who pay for these ghosts
There’s nothing left for us to say
You’ve made up your mind
And now we’re up and on our way
There’s nothing left for us to say
You’ve made up your mind
And now we’re on to better days
Let go
I know that you’re sorry
So tangled up in blame
It’s about time we bury the hatchet
You’re transparent these days like a ghost
Like a ghost

Hear the Sound

I never thought that we would all be here again
And let me tell you it feels like home
Ten years ago we fell apart, threw this all away
What could have been we’ll never know
Can you hear the sound?
It’s holding out, it’s crying out for us to take
Cause I’ll be waiting
Keep holding out, keep crying out for us so loud
Cause I’ll be waiting
At thirty I wish I could go back and tell myself
Love each movement, it goes by so fast
Cherish every single second with all you have
Cause when your time is up
You’ll never get to do this again
Can you hear the sound?
It’s holding out, it’s crying out for us to take
Cause I’ll be waiting
Keep holding out, keep crying out for us so loud
Cause I’ll be waiting
And when this moment ends
Will we be here hand and hand again?
Hear the sound?
It’s holding out, it’s crying out for us to take
Cause I’ll be waiting
Keep holding out, keep crying out for us so loud
Cause I’ll be waiting
And when this moment ends
Will we be here hand and hand again?
I’ve seen forever come and go
So wonderful, so beautiful
Did it ever occur to you that live could be this way?
I don’t think so
I don’t think so

The Consequence

The story goes there was a time when she could laugh
Pretend all her pain away
But that’s over and she knows it
They broke her will
They broke her body well
No excuses can help their case
They’ll learn to regret this
Wait till your sins are found
Your screams will be a breathless sound
It all comes around
Save yourself for the pain
They take and take and take
It’s time to settle up and pay the price
It all comes around
You confessed on the day
You ran away from all the things your family had the nerve to say
That you father and you mother and you sister and your brother
Had the nerve to say
You don’t mean anything
You’re not worth anything
Wait till your sins are found
Your screams will be a breathless sound
It all comes around
Save yourself for the pain
They take and take and take
It’s time to settle up and pay the price
It all comes around
She tears through the ground
Deep enough to make it
Close enough to taste it
You can see the fear as she nails their closures down
They cry out for air
And as they scratch and plead
She asks some simple things
Do you want to know who’s waiting there for you?
Do you want to see them reaching out for you?
Do you want to hear them calling out for you?
Do you want to meet them?
The story goes there was a girl who took a chance and buried her pain away
That’s over and done with
They never thought about the consequence and it’s too late to take it back
No matter
She’s free now

Left Unsaid

When your body fell
And withered away from a broken heart
Like a statue weathered to dust
You were all alone
Without a soul left to hold your hand
Or wish you well as you were lost
Did you really want things to end this way?
Such a shame
Cause now your gone and I’m still fighting you for everything
The mistakes of the ones you love
Can tear you down
What were you waiting for?
Cause I can’t hear you now
Oh no
I’ll spend a lifetime searching for answers I could never understand
Oh no
Was it really just too much to take?
Was a family just too much to bear?
Were there times that you wanted to stay?
Did we really push you away?
I’m asking
Was our life just a little too plain?
Were you embarrassed?
Did you feel ashamed?
Did you ever think of what could be?
Did you ever think at all of me?
I’m asking
I can barely remember moments of life before that day
With an apathetic self-serving reason
You said goodbye packed your bags and threw us all away
The mistakes of the ones you love
Will tear you down over and over and over again
When did you forsake?
I’m still waiting on an answer from you
Help me understand please set me free of you
