Ghosts In The Rearview
Two years gone...
Still hear the sirens in my sleep.
Three faces in a photograph...
Three promises I couldn't keep.
Then why's it following me?
Black car rolling through the midnight rain,
Money in the back and a head full of pain.
Monkey mask on, never showing my face,
One last score, then I'm leaving this place.
Red lights flashing, hear the helicopters fly,
Three crooks laughing while I'm wondering why.
Told them all, "When this is over,
we're through!"
I don't need another gangster like you.
Fast-forward, now I'm living alright,
Got a house, got a car,
got a different life.
Skating with my friends as the sun goes down,
But there's something in my head that I haven't found.
I can hear the sirens calling,
See the silhouettes on the wall.
Every time I think I'm free,
I remember nothing at all.
LAWLESS!
Running from the life I knew!
Three forgotten faces and I don't know who!
I'm chasing down the truth through the pouring rain,
But every road I take brings me back again!
LAWLESS! Tell me who I used to be!
Is the man behind the mask still a part of me?
I got everything I wanted,
but I can't break through,
'Cause the ghosts in the rearview know the truth!
Dust on the boxes,
keys on the floor,
Found an old photograph I ain't seen before.
Three men standing with their faces concealed,
Something in my memory refuses to heal.
Clown mask, skull mask,
red burning eyes, Every single picture's another disguise.
Written on the back,
"One Last Score,"
Why do I feel like I've seen them before?
Called up my friends,
said, "I need some help." They said,
"Tom, you don't have to do this yourself." Went to talk it
through,
tried to clear my head,
But there's still a thousand things left unsaid.
Maybe I'm not who I was,
Maybe that's alright.
But if the truth comes knocking,
Will I recognize my life?
LAWLESS! Running from the life I knew!
Three forgotten faces and I don't know who!
I'm chasing down the truth through the pouring rain,
But every road I take brings me back again!
LAWLESS! Tell me who I used to be!
Is the man behind the mask still a part of me?
I got everything I wanted,
but I can't break through,
'Cause the ghosts in the rearview know the truth!
I don't wanna be that man anymore.
Don't wanna hear those sirens at my door.
I found a life that's finally mine,
But something's missing deep inside.
(Who were they?)
(What happened that night?)
And why can't I remember...
LAWLESS! I won't run away!
Even if the past comes back someday!
I'm not the mask,
I'm not the crime,
I'm the one who gets to choose this time!
LAWLESS!
Let the whole world know!
(I'm choosing this time)
