Ghosts

Bad habits are ghosts haunting me

A thought that never leaves

From when I wake until I sleep

To seek heaven in my dreams

Where I feel I can finally breathe

Forget everything

Away from my reality

Because as long as I stay here

I won't face my fears

Right now I fear myself

And what my heart held

The worst words or warmest heart

Self-serving or selfless love

The worst words or warmest heart

Self-serving or selfless love

I will scream til the breath is gone from my lungs

I will scream til it's gone

I will leave all the rest of my ghosts behind

I will leave them behind

Ghosts haunting me aren't defining me

Ghosts taunting me are reminding me

Change the way you act, not just the way you think

Change the way you act, live the way you claim

Words are just words, until they're put to work

And it will be actions, not words, that change this earth.

Change the way you act, not just the way you think

Change the way you live, live by the words you say

I will scream til the breath is gone from my lungs

I will scream til it's gone

I will leave all the rest of my ghosts behind

I will leave them behind

Change the way you act, not just the way you think

Change the way you live, live the way you claim

Words are just words, until they're put to work

And it will be actions, not words, that change this earth.
