The Promise

Album: The Ghost Of Ohio (2019)

  • Living on the west side, born and raised
    Made a deal with the devil, found glory days
    There's no way that I'll stay
    Driving down on highway 75
    Watch the world come down on borrowed time
    Find some way to escape

    But we all find home we all find home

    Do you remember all the plans we made?
    Hopin', prayin' for a better day
    Tell me what ever happened to
    The love we gave?
    The promise that we both betrayed
    And the songs we sang
    The times we fought for everything
    Tell me what ever happened
    To what I've become?
    The pain I feel for where I'm from

    Hangin' from the cross on 50 West
    Got a dream and a chance to run from this
    I'm locked in, believin'
    Drinkin' 'til I'm lost and giving it up
    Another day, another chance to test my luck
    Way out there they won't care

    But we can't get out we can't get out

    Do you remember all the plans we made?
    Hopin', prayin' for a better day
    Tell me what ever happened to
    The love we gave?
    The promise that we both betrayed
    And the songs we sang
    The times we fought for everything
    Tell me what ever happened
    To what I've become?
    The pain I feel for where I'm from

    In the city I found my hope
    I know, I feel it my purpose to end it
    I can't go home

    Do you remember all the plans we made?
    Hopin', prayin' for a better day
    Tell me what ever happened to
    The love we gave?
    The promise that we both betrayed
    And the songs we sang
    The times we fought for everything
    Tell me what ever happened
    To what I've become?
    The pain I feel for where I'm from
    Do you remember all the plans we made?
    Hopin', prayin' for a better day
    Tell me what ever happened to
    The love we gave?
    The promise that we both betrayed Writer/s: Andrew Biersack, Ashton Irwin, John Feldmann, Stephen Beerkins
