Ghosts on the Downbeat

I came up through the smoke where the recalls fold

With a grin on my face and a grip on gold

Reached the God way, every word got frost

I was born in the dark, but I learned the cost

Hear the ghostly whispers when the taps hit right

Dumped in the chest and I cut through the night

Empowering pain with a sinister smile

I keep moving forward, I survive

This trial

String bass calling like a shadow in the hall

Funk in the hills when I hear the sirens call

Tragic in the mirror but I stand up tall

Slurred out the truth when the broken hearts fall

Hear the ghostly whispers

When the claps hit right

Thump in the chest

And I cut through the night

Empowering pain

With a sinister smile

Keep moving forward

I survived this trial

Heavy in the heart

But I won't go

I turn my scars

To a story told
