"Ghost" lyrics

I tend to separate
Who I was and who I am today
Like I'm living in someone else's brain
Sheltered and shy kid
With no inspiration
To being so confident
That I get in my own way
Was I just replaced
When I built up
Some self esteem
Maybe there's a piece of me
Deep down in there
I'm simply unaware of it
Time to let 'em in
Find contentment with
The life that I have lived and
I'm face to face with my ghost

I feel it closing in
Saw a friend that I knew back when
The stories that they sold seemed
So distant to me wouldn't you agree
I've come so far
In the bottom of my heart
It's hiding
And I cannot fight it
It's all just inspired
Say have you seen the ghost
That looks like me

Hiding under cover
Deny it till it's smothered
Can you see the ghost in me
I can feel it haunting me
In all my wasted dreams
I can't fight it anymore

Held him way down
Found a way out
What am I ashamed bout
Say it loud and clear
Can you see the ghost in here
Different version
Of the person
I have always been
Underneath my skin
Can you feel the ghost within
Come to find the more I hide
The more it's eating me alive
I come to terms with who I am
It's all I can be and
I can't fight it anymore

Hiding under cover
Deny it till it's smothered
Can you see the ghost in me
I can feel it haunting me
In all my wasted dreams
I can't fight it anymore
