Silencing Ghost
I'm feeling what I'm feeling
but they tell me it ain't real
they tell me theres' places they'll take me where no one will find me
they'll hide me and bind me
leave all my love ones behind blinded and lied to
the tears of millions
crying
Buried alive outside while life goes by
wiping their eyes trying to survive
another sun rise
and another long night
it'll be alright
if you give up your rights
dig away from the fight
and go fly a kite
distractions
drugs
addictions
and lust
silencing ghost
silencing ghost
silencing ghost
silencing ghost
