They Rise

[Verse 1]
I can't shake the demons
And I can't sleep at night
I can't stop the screaming
And I can't win this fight
It was supposed to end after
Five nights of hell
Scars too deep will make you change
I'm just surviving in my shell

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause there is no going back to the man I used to be
I will never be safe and I will never be free
No, there is no going back to a time before the fear
No matter where I go, I know the ghosts are all too near

[Chorus]
Why won't they let me go? Why can't I just move on?
I gave my heart and soul, now everything is gone
In darkness, I still see the light of their eyes
They haunt me like a ghost and in the night, they rise

[Verse 2]
These shadows in my mind
Are creeping deep into my soul
I can't shake the past
It lingers on and demands control
Trembling, trapped in memories
They flash before my waking eyes
It was just supposed to be a job
But it left me paralyzed

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause there is no going back to the man I used to be
I will never be safe and I will never be free
'Cause there is no going back to a time before the fear
No matter where I go, I know the ghosts are all too near

[Chorus]
Why won't they let me go? Why can't I just move on?
I gave my heart and soul, now everything is gone
In darkness, I still see the light of their eyes
They haunt me like a ghost and in the night, they rise
I can't leave them behind, I can't shut the door
I'm not who I was anymore
In darkness, I still see the light of their eyes
They haunt me like a ghost and in the night, they rise
