Lyrics MandoPony – They Rise

I can’t shake the demons
And I can’t sleep at night
I can’t stop the screaming
And I can’t win this fight

It was supposed to end after
Five nights of hell
Scars too deep will make you change
I’m just surviving in my shell

‘Cause there is no going back
To the man I used to be
I will never be safe
And I will never be free
No, there is no going back
To a time before the fear
No matter where I go, I know,
The ghosts are all too near

WHY WON’T THEY LET ME GO?
WHY CAN’T I JUST MOVE ON?
I GAVE MY HEART AND SOUL
NOW EVERYTHING IS GONE
IN DARKNESS I STILL SEE
THE LIGHT OF THEIR EYES
THEY HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
AND IN THE NIGHT THEY RISE

These shadows in my mind
Are creeping deep into my soul
I can’t shake the past
It lingers on and demands control

Trembling trapped in memories
They flash before my waking eyes

‘Cause there is no going back
To the man I used to be
I will never be safe
And I will never be free
‘Cause, there is no going back
To a time before the fear
No matter where I go, I know,
The ghosts are all too near

WHY WON’T THEY LET ME GO?
WHY CAN’T I JUST MOVE ON?
I GAVE MY HEART AND SOUL
NOW EVERYTHING IS GONE
IN DARKNESS I STILL SEE
THE LIGHT OF THEIR EYES
THEY HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
AND IN THE NIGHT THEY RISE

I CAN’T LEAVE THEM BEHIND
I CAN’T SHUT THE DOOR
I’M NOT WHO I WAS
ANYMORE
IN DARKNESS I STILL SEE
THE LIGHT OF THEIR EYES
THEY HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
AND IN THE NIGHT

THEY RISE
