Lyrics
Chasing ghosts
By Gary Skankey
I'm not walking away from my painful past
These blisters on my feet are going to heal this vacant hole deep inside
Deep inside of my soul
I've been living life like a cheap horror film
With skeletons hiding in my shadow
Now they're shocked to the bone because I've turned to face them
I'm chasing ghosts to make amends
Let go of dour odds and ends
Turn demons into pleasant friends
I'm chasing ghosts to make amends
I'm carrying more than the pack on my back
The memory of stormy nights weighs like a ton of lead on my mind
It's hard to keep my head up
It's not the piercing words that I said I regret
Its the ones that remain ever unspoken that are haunting me now
Lamenting apparitions
I'm releasing bittersweet images like red helium balloons
And life'll become like a calm lake at night reflecting the harvest Moon
