Ghosts and the Past

Against the weakness of this town
Violent, fragmented pieces of love
I am the girl from out of town
Feel the grip tighten
Drowning in silence and blindness
Eyes open for kindness
If I'd known this I would not have come here
Come here

Here is my voice spoken, body broken,
Kicking and screaming for life.
Oh I have been named, hunted and shamed
They say she can't be saved.

So we dance, we dance
With our ghosts and the past
We dance.


In the weakness of the crime
Eyes burning, mind searching to put us on trial.
All of our stories start the same
But with the winding, unfolding
And the endings of love, loss and heartbreak,
The mistakes that we make.
If I'd known this I would not have come here,
Come here

Here is my voice spoken, body broken,
Kicking and screaming for life.
I have been named, hunted and shamed
They say she can't be saved.

People can't ignore the stars
They see who we really are
Beauty in a coat of scars
Here is my voice spoken (Here is my voice spoken)

Here is my voice spoken, body broken,
kicking and screaming for life.
I have been named, hunted and shamed.
They say she can't be saved.


So we dance, we dance
With our ghosts and the past
We dance
So we dance, we dance
With our ghosts and the past
We dance
