Ghost - My First And Last lyrics

School yards to smokey bars All these shadows a long the wall Wide eyed under endless skies When ceilings seemed so tall Erase and replace I found a monster to call my own Reflections trace a changing face Regrets in flesh and bone I've built this castle in sand It becomes smaller with every grain I've built this future with my hands The silouhettes mark my gain Suffocate this child and choke on the result These seeds with no light A blind will to grow Blueprints of descent It's etched in the past that we all know Scarred chins and splitting shins Caloused with fears that show Erase and replace I found a monster to call my own Red crayons and open hands I was taught by sticks and stones Seperated but the kids still breathing Somewhere in between It's when our limbs they weigh us down We retrace the seams But under cold rain and hot air I once watched time stand still I stepped back and smiled at the small shoes that I've filled
