When the room is quiet, the daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well, I ought to leave here but the rain, it never stops
And there's no particular place to go
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Grow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Grow wilder than the wind
Well, I'm feeling nervous, I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure, now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Grow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Grow wilder than the wind
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Grow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Grow wilder than the wind
