I'm going away for a while But I'll be back, don't try and follow me 'Cause I'll return as soon as possible See, I'm trying to find my place But it might not be here where I feel safe We all learn to make mistakes And run from them, from them With no direction We'll run from them, from them With no conviction 'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts Travelin' endlessly Don't need no roads In fact, they follow me And we just go in circles Well, now I'm told that this is life And pain is just a simple compromise So we can get what we want out of it Would someone care to classify Our broken hearts and twisted minds So I can find someone to rely on And run to them, to them Full speed ahead Oh, you are not useless We are just Misguided ghosts Travelin' endlessly The ones we trusted the most Pushed us far away And there's no one road And we should not be the same But I'm just a ghost And still they echo me They echo me in circles
