The Past Has Arms

Mouthful of blood
When I bit my tongue
I caught myself
Feeling important again

Alone on a night
When I shouldn't have been
I caught myself
Talking to myself and listening

I know that the past has arms
I can feel it hold me tight
Every time I close my eyes
I can still see some light

Hateful of hate
And the way that I'd been
I couldn't wait
To hear myself stop talking
Oh, but I know that the
Past has arms
And opinions on everything
That I say

I know that the past has arms
I can feel it hold me tight
Every time I close my eyes
I can still see some light

I know that the past has arms
I can feel it hold me back
Everything I had to give
And everything I lacked

I know that the road we're on
Is gonna come to an end
But every time I turn around
I always turn back again
