Give up the Ghost - Thousand Foot Krutch, Trevor McNevan, Joel Bruyere

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 and tired of all of this

Flaunt it, if you want it, and you can own it

But I’m just gonna 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 ghosts that haunt me

Have been outhaunted

I’m a long way from way back from 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)

C’mon man, put it on me

If you want it

'Cause I’m sick and tired of all of this

Flaunt it, if you want it, and you can own it

But I’m just gonna 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 ghosts that haunt me

Have been outhaunted

They never told me that I could be

Free from the hate that’s inside of me

They took my place

Took my dignity

They kept me caged like an enemy

But I know now I can be

Free from the pain that’s inside of me

You took my place

Gave me air to breathe

Opened the cage and you 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 ghosts that haunt me

Have been outhaunted
