In the corner of a house I used to know
Tied down by the weight of all my fears
I'm just a worm crawling through these holes
Pretending I'm dead to escape the years
The walls are old they whisper my name
An echo of a past I can't outrun
A timeline where I've already lost the game
But I can't save her no matter how far I've come
And the old clock's hands reach for me
In the place where I grew where I learned to bleed
Running in circles but the ground won't move
It's a cycle of pain and I'm trapped in the groove
Every fence I jump just leads me back
To the house of my past where the lights fade black
She ran away but I'm stuck in this skin
A sacrifice I made a life I couldn't win
In every dream I'm chased by the ghost
Of the child I was who needed me the most
But I'm losing speed my legs won't go
And he's catching up the past I know
A hand on my shoulder a grip so tight
I'm pulled back down into the endless night
I thought I could escape find another way
But every path I take just leads me to stay
In the prison of my mind in the grip of time
I'm haunted by the echoes of a life that's mine
In this house I'm a ghost I'm a shadow I'm a child
Running from a fate that's bitter cruel and wild
But in the end it's all the same
The past catches up and I'm to blame
