Diggin for Ghosts - My Ruin

Time waits for no one, the days grow older and I grow colder

This Devil’s on my shoulder and he’s smiling at me

But I don’t trust what he’s saying and I don’t wanna believe

I find it hard to cry when I’m spent

Tie the wires around my head

Pound the nails into my flesh and I’m bleeding again

I’m diggin for ghosts and good stories scarlet to the bone

If I kill all my demons — Will my angels leave me alone

Time waits for no one, the nights get longer and I get stronger

Your God is standing before me with his arms out wide

But I don’t wanna give in to him so he can judge me or my life

I find it hard to cry when I’m spent

Tie the wires around my head

Pound the nails into my flesh and I’m bleeding again

I’m diggin for ghosts and good stories scarlet to the bone

If I kill all my demons — Will my angels leave me alone

Time is like the wind, it leaves the light and lifts the heavy

I’ve seen my fate and I’m not afraid, in fact I’m ready

Each moment has its memory and this too shall pass

Whether I wake or sleep I still believe that nothing last’s… Forever

Haughty eyes and a lying tongue

Hands that shed innocent blood

A heart that devises wicked plots — Feet that are swift to run

I’ve burned my bridges down — Turned my back on this town

I’ve burned my bridges down — Turned my back on this town

Let us pray that we enter not into temptation

The spirit is willing indeed but the flesh is weak

And as you sow—shall you reap

In loving memory
