Goodbye Ghost - Tennessee Sessions

I could feel the tears welling up inside
My hard and blood shot eyes
The hollowness inside me keeps a heart slang distance
From anyone and is shot of my cries

As I limp along I'm covering my tracks
By smashing every brick that I have laid
And throwing the pieces gives me every satisfaction
That my past has been successfully unmade

But things don't burn in reverse
My path is an ever-blackening curse
Pushing those who love me, farther and farther
Away, ay, ay, ay

Despite what you may think there is hope for me still
Hidden deep within my small and broken mind
Though its doubtful I may find for I reach into my pocket
Thumbing back the hammer, up my '45

I've turned up my collar and burned every dollar
From the finest men you'd ever want to know
I'm tumbling toward a finish, that ends in damnation
Show me followed by an endless black hole

But things don't burn in reverse
My path is an ever-blackening curse
Pushing those who love me, farther and farther
Away, ay, ay, ay
Goodbye Ghost
