lyrics

This is life without an end
Don't pretend you're one of them
I hear voices in my head
Telling me that I am dead

They're telling me that I am dead
I hear voices in my head
Speaking softly in my ear
Words that I don't wanna hear

When the world stops
You numb the body as you try
Just to feel the other side
A side that will hide
A curse of you and I
This is my Personal Ghost

I hear voices in my head
Telling me that I am dead
Speaking softly in my ear
Words that I don't wanna hear

I hear voices in my head
Telling me that I am dead
Speaking softly like the ghost
Words that I don't wanna know

When the world stops
You numb the body as you try
Just to feel the other side
A side that will hide
A curse of you and I
This is my Personal Ghost

When the world stops
You numb the body as you try
Just to feel the other side
A side that will hide
A curse of you and I
This is my Personal
This is not personal
This is my Personal Ghost
