lyrics

i've been a ghost,
i've been a god
i've been prisoner to my own mind, to my flesh and my blood.
i have been floating
in an ocean of tales
that i tell to myself to define what is right and what's real.

there are spaces so blank that i filled em with crank and with booze.
there are times that i'm too paralyzed to escape from the fugue
and sometimes the ones who have wounded us most
echo inside us long after they go
and i'm learning how to reclaim my own head.

i got the pieces,
not all of them match
i got things that i just can't let go and those i can't get back.
i have been running,
when it's safe to stay.
i've been driving my own loved ones mad with this broken record i play.
oh, quit chasing your tail
repeating yourself
picking at wounds that should be left to heal
and you may stand still,
but the past is gonna run you through.

and everyone i know says,
run, oh, run, oh, run
listen to your gut, you're a wild one,
what the hell you doin'
you should run, oh, run, oh, run
you're living in the past, love
fast, love
what the hell you thinkin?
