"Stay" lyrics

This is my testimony to a world I left behind
I won't struggle to be myself, you hanging over my shoulder
Don't tell me who I am, I'm not ashamed anymore
I am not to blame with all your cryptic lies
Wrapped up in your disguise

I won't seek your redemption

Time will pass and ghosts will linger
Doomed to haunt these walls forever
Say you'll stay and I'll run further
Further than ever before
Ever before

Nice of you to say I'm doing better now
Oh honey, can't you see the fury eating the inside of me?
I know I need to let go, it's always gonna hold me down
All this anger, it rages, it's not welcome anymore

I won't seek your redemption
It's not part of this inception

Time will pass and ghosts will linger
Doomed to haunt these walls forever
Say you'll stay and I'll run further
Further than ever before
Time will pass and ghosts will linger
Doomed to haunt these walls forever
Say you'll stay and I'll run further
Further than ever before

Taking back what's mine
After all this time
I have no time to waste on your pitiful choir
I'm moving on with my life and I am a survivor

Time will pass and ghosts will linger
Doomed to haunt these walls forever
Say you'll stay and I'll run further
Further than ever before
Time will pass and ghosts will linger
Doomed to haunt these walls forever
Say you'll stay and I'll run further
Further than ever before
