Phantoms

[Verse 1]
Phantoms from my past
I hear ’em knocking at the door
Same old shadows talkin
They don’t scare me anymore
Used to sleep with the night light 
on
Just to drown ’em out when they crept in
Now I walk through a quiet room
They can’t follow where I’ve been
Tried to drag me back in the dark
Tried to tell me I’m still that kid
But I buried those versions of me
In a place they can’t go in 
[Chorus]
I hear ’em knockin on the walls in my head (knock, knock)
But I don’t need ’em, I’m done with regret
I’m finally free from my past, yeah, I said what I said
I can finally see the light at the end
I hear ’em knockin on the walls in my head
All that hurt, all that weight, all that dread
I’m finally free from my past, let it rest with the dead
I can finally see the light at the end (at the end)
[Verse 2]
They be whisperin, “Remember when?”
Playin clips of every time I fell
I just hit skip on the reel now
Turn my history into fuel, 
Used to wear my shame like a coat 
It was Heavy and it dragged me down 
And I’m steppin over every broken speck like it’s broken glass 
Moments that I thought defined me
Names they used to carve in my rest
I washed ’em off in my own tears
Came back harder, that’s where I began 
[Chorus]
I hear ’em knockin on the walls in my head (yeah)
But I don’t need ’em, I’m done with regret
I’m finally free from my past, yeah, I said what I said
I can finally see the light at the end
I hear ’em knockin on the walls in my head
All that hurt, all that weight, all that dread
I’m finally free from my past, let it rest with the dead
I can finally see the light at the end (light at the end)
