(1,2,3,4) I'm going away for a whileBut I'll be back, don't try and follow me'Cause I'll return as soon as possibleYou see I'm trying to find my placeIt might not be here where I feel safeWe all learn to make mistakes And runFrom them, from themWith no directionRun from them, from themWith no conviction 'Cause I'm just one of those ghostsTravelling endlesslyDon't need no roadsIn fact they follow meAnd we just go in circles But now I'm told that this is lifeAnd pain is just a simple compromiseSo we can get what we want out of it Will someone care to classifyA broken heart and twisted minds?So I can find someone to rely on And runTo them, to themFull speed aheadOh you are notUselessWe are just Misguided ghostsTravelling endlesslyThe ones we trusted the mostPushed us far awayAnd there's no one roadWe should not be the sameBut I'm just a ghostAnd still they echo meThey echo me in circles
