short of breath - the last thing i need lyrics

the ghost of regret, specter of my past
has returned to continue the grind
it’s just out of sight, whispering to me
though i thought i had left it behind
it preys on my mind, dredging up the worst
of the times i forgot to say when
for once in my life, things were looking up
then it came back to haunt me again

i tried to ignore my choices
to k!ll them all and run
i fled and left memory dead
to bleach out in the sun
no coin in its mouth for charon
no funeral or urn
no last rites performed or offered
just hopes for no return
the shade of regret, phantom of my past
has come back to continue the scourge
it’s just out of reach, murmuring to me
though i thought i had sung it its dirge
the last thing i need right now’s a remark
that a man’s judged by what he forgets
as i come to terms, one concern remains:
what if this is as good as it gets?

i tried to ignore my errors
to bleed them all and run
i fled and left yesterday dead
to parch out in the sun
at times i wish i could blur all
the lines of circumstance
for yesterday’s poltergeist is
just waiting for its chance

yesterday’s poltergeist is
just waiting for its chance
yesterday’s poltergeist is
just waiting for its chance

- short of breath lyrics
