I became everything and all at once I was nothing I couldn't take anymore Could I hold it in my hands? I can taste it on my tongue But I couldn't keep it all in my grasp Too many times I was collapsing I could only get so far Who am I to expect anything? If you never make another sound How can I hope to ever find you now? If I'm gone before I hit the ground How can I hope to be where you are? When you're caught inside when the world just passes It takes too long to slow down You're barely alive I used to be you and I can't go back Now I'm a ghost of what I once was Now I'm a ghost of what I once was So I began to hate everything All at once I was running But I couldn't fake it anymore Could you feel me screaming out? Were you trying to shake me out of my sleep? And if you never make another sound How can I hope to ever find you now? And if I'm gone before I hit the ground How can I hope to be where you are? When you're caught inside when the world just passes It takes too long to slow down You're barely alive I used to be you and I can't go back Now I'm a ghost of what I once was Now I'm a ghost of what I once was I could always tell you were getting away from me But how could I let you see? It's so hard to love anything Now I'm a ghost of what I once was Now I'm a ghost of what I once was Now I'm a ghost of what I once was Now I'm a ghost
