Give Up the Ghost

Are you ready?
(We're here)

I'm a rose
That's been raised by wolves
My thorns are getting
Stuck in everything I know
It's so hard when you would
Bleed for the truth you know
But we don't want the truth
We just want control

(I'm on my own, here we go)
C'mon man, put it on me
If you want it 'cause
I'm sick tired of all of this
Flaunt it, if you want it
And you can own it
But I'm just going to let it go

I've seen the devil and I've met fear
I met them both on the road that led me here
I've met god and I saw life
And he saved mine a million times
I've met trouble and I've met rain
Laughed with joy and cried with pain
But now I see and I believe
That the ghost that haunt me
Have been outhaunted

I'm a long way from way back home
Been traveling like a bullet everywhere I go
It gets harder to reach when you're in control
'Cause you've either got the money
Or it's got your soul

(I'm on my own, here we go)
(I'm on my own, here we go)
C'mon man, put it on me
If you want it 'cause
I'm sick tired of all of this
Flaunt it, if you want it
And you can own it
But I'm just going to let it go

I've seen the devil and I've met fear
I met them both on the road that led me here
I've met god and I saw life
And he saved mine a million times
I've met trouble and I've met rain
Laughed with joy and cried with pain
But now I see and I believe
That the ghost that haunt me
Have been outhaunted

They never told me
That I could be (I could be)
Free from the hate
That's inside of me (inside of me)
They took my place
Took my dignity (dignity)
They kept me caged
Like an enemy (enemy)

But, I know now
I can be (I can be)
Free from the pain
That's inside of me (inside of me)
You took my place
Gave me air to breathe (air to breathe)
Opened the cage
And you set me free (set me free)

I've seen the devil and I've met fear
I met them both on the road that led me here
I've met god and I saw life
And he saved mine a million times
I've met trouble and I've met rain
Laughed with joy and cried with pain
But now I see and I believe
That the ghost that haunt me
Have been outhaunted
