Protecting from loves nether
Tortured my mind and lover
We hurt ourselves together
With the ghosts of every other
With our defense, we attack
Not to be hurt, we're holding back
With our fear, we then accuse
Right or wrong, does it seem you lose
Seeing things that aren't really there
Imagination can give us a good scare
We got involved because we're not them
But it's a shame if we're inventing their problems
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
If we want to resign those scenes that replay
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
The truth of these spooks is they were haunted in their day
A light burned into my eyes
The fire is years since passed
A sight turned twin through disguise
The prior is fears forecast
With a panic that distracts
We guess the meanings of their acts
With a need to know the score
Think what is, is what's come before
Seeing things that aren't really there
Imagination can give us a good scare
I've been with you because you're not them
But it's a shame if you inherit their problems
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
If we want to resign those scenes that replay
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
The truth of these spooks is they were haunted in their day
I give what I don't receive
Can't repeat this pain of lack
So live for my own reprieve
Reusing the knife from my back
If I withhold the support
That I felt before returned short
If that lack made me feel used
Why should a new love be refused
Circulating the pain that I hide
Now, how can you heal me while my fears misguide
I've been with you because I'm not them
But it's a shame if I become the problem
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
If we want to resign those scenes that replay
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
The truth of these spooks is they were haunted in their day
These spirits that torment me
Make emotions as transitory
As their presence and mortality
Halting logic and sanity
I need to be free
From their meddling folly
If I don't summon their psyche
They can't use me to move the earthly
Been blinded by these apparitions
To see your deeds by their conditions
I could reside with them in their perdition
But that's not my ambition
I brave their chains that clatter
And condone their groans of grief
They crave restrain on matter
But in one souls unknown relief
With openness we're reborn
As long as we take the time to mourn
With our earnest, we inquire
Good or bad, the truth lifts us higher
Circulating the pain that I hide
Isn't any proper way to protect my pride
We got involved unburdened by them
There's no shame in not carrying their problems
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
If we want to resign those scenes that replay
Got to banish the ghosts of every other away
The truth of these spooks is they were haunted in their day
