"Bet On My Ghost" lyrics - SAM BARBER

SAM BARBER
"Bet On My Ghost"

Well I often think about my wings and if I'm dead or alive
Because the world just seems like an empty dream, they say that it gets better with time
Every word I say when I'm not ok just seems to go away with the wind
If you felt my pain and held my weight you'd know I'm too broke to fix

[Pre-Chorus:]
From screaming loud to yelling soft I ain't wiser I've just grown
And I hate to admit, but the man I am is a man that you do not wanna know

[Chorus:]
Rather be right here then the end of the road
If I don't make it there you can bet on my ghost
I cannot forget back then 'cause it's all I know
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home

I'm finding out that time don't heal the things that should've never begun
All the walls I've burnt for no damn earn is something I could never have planned
When you're walking alone for this damn long you know that there's nothing to reach
Only thing I've made from all this pain is a head staring down at my feet

[Pre-Chorus:]
From screaming loud to yelling soft I ain't wiser I've just grown
And I hate to admit but the man I am is a man that you do not wanna know

[Chorus:]
Rather be right here then the end of the road
If I don't make it there you can bet on my ghost
I cannot forget back then 'cause it's all I know
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home
