I am haunted by a presence
Something I can't escape
A calling inside my head
Afraid of things it might reveal to me
Can't silence it when I sleep
And it won't leave me when I'm dead
So what do I do to quell this storm
Always been one to question myself
It begs me to say all the the things that I mean
Without letting doubt hold me down
There is a voice deep inside of me
Begging to be let out
To shed the guilt the trapped me here
Without letting fear hold me down
More often than not
I've found that the truth will set me free
But accepting this fact
And believing in who I am
Has never come easy
Silence weighs me down
Like chains around my heart
And so I tell myself
These stories I cannot keep
I cannot keep
There is a voice begging to be let out
One that uses guilt to trap me here
That holds my head under the waves as I drown
So what do I do to quell this storm
Always been one to question myself
I know that I need to say what I mean
But I still let doubt hold me down
Holds me down
I tried to run from my ghosts
But they still haunt me
Behind my eyes, inside my head
They still haunt me
