lyrics
All I see are ghosts, they tend to haunt me in my dreams
Visit me from long ago, on quiet nights you hear me scream
Nightly apparitions make me listen when I could be sleeping
Last weekend they were speaking
Keeping me from counting sheep and
Getting forty winks, I think they’re trying to tell me something here
Loud and clear, I can hear them whisper in my ear
They appear like the Ghost of Christmas Past in my presence
Teach me lessons so the essence of my future’s not unpleasant
In these distant memories, I tend to see where I went wrong
Game was tight and swagger right, I used to score like King of Kong
Then you came along, you were strong, the one who got away
And to this day, it just won’t fade
Each night your ghost comes out to play
And memories, who’s memories? I’m not at liberty to say
Although it haunts me to this day, it's safe to say, I’m not afraid
I’d drop your name but what’s to gain?
Just more agony and pain
So, back from whence you came, b-b-b-back against the grain
I put you back inside my brain and in the past you shall remain
My dark passenger's insane, he keeps on saying things have changed
Let me explain, I used to dream at night of being rich and famous
Now I’m nameless, not a penny to my name, I put the stainless
Steal .45 caliber right against my head, I pull the trigger, now he’s dead
That’s how I put these ghosts to bed
That’s how I lift these heavy burdens
Say goodbye to Tyler Durden
It's curtains for these spirits
They only haunt me in my lyrics

When the ghosts come out at night
Darkness rises from our fright
Echoes flicker in the silence
Chambers haunted by the violence
All that you see, may never be
