Give Up The Ghost - We're Down Til We're Underground (2003) by Give Up The Ghost (보컬) on maniadb.com

Our love is all that we ever had
Our love is all that we'll ever have
Boys and girls, guys and dolls
You were finding faith in bathroom stalls
and broken beds, spring fractured spines
Fall for the right kids at all the wrong times
And in a world of sluts, we keep this wet dream alive
Yeah, our drought is drying out
You go nowhere in a nowhere town and no one's listening to the sound
of breaking down and breaking out is just wishful thinking

We're taking walks around the hearts and homes we'll never own
You go nowhere in a nowhere town and no one's listening to the sound
of breaking down and breaking out is just wishful thinking
You go nowhere in a nowhere town
We're growing up by falling down
We love the songs because we live the songs
in condemned flats between the rights and wrongs

And all we know is that we live for now
We love the hearts but the hearts love us even more
Desperate and true, thinking of you
Borrowed and blue, sinking with you

Keep loving, keep breathing, keep living

Send my regards, see my new scars?
I am half dead from all these love songs
Intro to incoming end- sing the ones that make you live
The world is spinning round and round
And we're just staring at the ground
(It's only everything)

It's been too long since the last time we felt alive
We're digging our own graves- we're damning our own prayers
And these are songs the world would sing,
but they're too deaf for honesty
And these are lives the world would lead,
but they're against injury

Dance to the misery of your life put to backbeat
Dance to the sound of everything you ever lost
(Never had, nothing at all)
I wouldn't be here if I'd never plugged in this outlet
There is a world waiting for us to live in it
(Viva Love) Sing everything you've ever loved
For everything that you will one day love
Long live the sound of desperation
Long live the stereo of destruction

Cold cold keep shaking
Sing sing keep sinking
Let the cars keep swerving
Let the songs keep skipping
Crush crush keep kissing
Shoot shoot keep missing
I used to compare myself but I don't care anymore
I never had it, you never had it
We were young and the sun didn't shine on us
Where is the life you thought you'd live?
Where is the love you thought you'd give?
Sipping on sympathy, feeding on tragedy
This is our therapy for open heart surgery
I'll never have it, you'll never have it-
We were young and the rains came down on us
We're humming 'Reveille' just slightly out of key
(Our love is real to me)
In Sunday's best singing free of things we'd like to be
And left over puddles we'd run ourselves quietly
This is our therapy, this is for you and me
Our love is real to me

You and me equals me (add it)
I am one life minus one
And it is my math to do
So fuck you

(And you don't understand 'we'
because you don't understand me)

I'm sorry, so sorry for not making sense
I have been shot in the left side of my chest
The dust in the air, that irritates my eyes
Floats in the light that beams from the hole in my chest

Jesus and all his saints couldn't save our wretched face
And no man parting some sea could keep you from me
We had to walk away from the streets that knew our names

I stutter soft and say
"I'd give you anything,
anything and everything
And you can tell the town
We're down till we're underground"

We lost the heartache sound when our order was found

I burned a testament and misused 'heaven-sent'
We made a comeback and it, it was received quite well
The earth, for all its worth, never seemed so far from Hell

Preach on and on
Spread the good word of the holy healing
Breathe in, breathe out and on
Likely lifers put to song and dance
and air has never seemed so clear
I got a love/hate relationship with love and hate
I get lost here and there
You could say I was into the fact you even cared
I'm a believer of there's nothing up above
that could or should replace my Sunday's saving grace
I repent the times that I said you don't exist
My gospels from the Church of Stereo Activists

Let me say that I know when I should be confessing
I'm counting everything- my change and blessings
Chemists cursed me imbalanced
I ran through the streets until my legs gave in
"Hey, even without light I could see that we were failures"
And I am coming clean of dreams that don't exist
Oh God, it's in the air when it should be
Safe between our hands
"And love, even without light I could see that we would fail"
Let me say what I mean
Let me sleep on your floor
Let me learn to love
Cause I can feel my face sinking
through bruised bones, barely hiding my mind
Failure fascination - I got a count on all I'll never have
And I am dying to not give up on this

(And I confess, my fixation is my fix)
And I've been running around trying to find my home
Twenty years on the run trying to find my own
(And I confess, a house is not a home)
My head is red- my bones black and blue
Fever burns- choke on words at the thought of you
(And I confess, fixation is my fix)

Sing a song for the disenchanted
Hum a hymn for the misdirected
A little love for the sons and daughters
shadow-sitting life in forgotten corners
(and then)
I fell hard over myself again
I confess my love for everything
I woke up and needed to sleep again
With the music bleeding in my veins
Goddamn the yesterdays
With the love of all there is to love
We're who you're dreaming of
With the music bleeding in my veins
Goddamn the yesterdays
With the love of all there is to love
You're the one who we're dreaming of
I confess...

Sitting only cuz I couldn't stand to walk much further under black skies with watered eyes I was watching the tide rolling in
And I was thinking I should make fun here and start over again My legs barely hold all of my heart and soul My ears hardly hear
Only our sound is clear My mouth merely moves the words just disappear My eyes see so clear the reason to care Maybe we weren't
Supposed to wake up today Leaving me room only to celebrate that nothing's changed If I was there- If you were here the world
Could end I wouldn't care So wake me up never, please, lock the door, and lose the keys My legs barely hold all of my heart and
Soul My ears hardly hear only our sound is clear My mouth merely moves the words just disappear My eyes see so clear the reason
To care To set the record straight- I never could relate And just when it all went wrong- You sang a different song Never knew
Someone who knew how the years had been and I never thought that I would ever end up like this So hidden, far and gone, I'm so crowded
Alone And I hope you understand, you fixed my broken plan

The future could be ours or it could just be yours
We could just be walking closer to closed doors
It was spoken then broken, we're hoping arms are open
A wedding ring's surrendering and dying pretty is living well
Just press stop, take it out, turn it off, return it
I've got reasons for everything, everything except this
We could be the b-side to the hit song without no soul
We could sound like things were fine and find out they weren't at all
We could go back to where we was, live life and feel so small
Back where we started which was nowhere at all

This is a remix of the same tears you shed before
This is a remix of the same fears you shared before
I thought that they made it clear (and they did)
Our sound is not welcome here (you should know)

This is the crush of the year in our night-vision dreams,
know what I mean?
You see yourself where you should be

Stars lead the way home then the sidewalks ending
And I don't recall why we're still pretending
Turn myself in for crimes I didn't commit
I needed to feel truly innocent
There was a song and I forget the name of it
It seemed sincere and this is kind of how it went
"It's one of those nights when you're
not sure who the real you is anymore"
Generations can be whatever they want to
It's mid-afternoon and I'll be leaving soon
Survivors are few and far between,
between two parked cars headed for anywhere
cause anywhere is better than here
And in the ride, I become aware I'm probably not going anywhere

It's one of those nights when you're not sure who the real 'you' is anymore
I said that I would end myself but I think too much about family, you see
I need to see if I can bask in a different world

This is my swan song to my criminal boys and girls
And no one really loves us as the sun does fall
And a fact without no truth just isn't fact at all

I want out of here, I need to find the stars
but the sky's hiding them as we are ashamed of what we've ruined
The words I write stuttered the times I spoke
I've never been too close with love, life, trust and faith
I need out of here, I need a head clear
I know my voice isn't great but at least it's sincere

We are so conditioned to fall
It's sad the song of the year is still nothing at all
