You are the ghost that I evoked, the empty cage and the missing page Quick lunch to witness our demise If ever the days would consume my time
An easy target An easy win The coat is warm like the apocalypse
Fathers, sons, and holy ghosts clog the minds and throats that choke The stench is sworn in like the youth With trembling hearts you've got all to lose
An easy target An easy win The coat is warm like the apocalypse
I need a shot to remember The sun is challenging over my head
A long night Takes clear eyes to know the enemy
One last chance of a death trap One last flight out of my head
Sick and tired Weary eyed You'll be my open eyes
The night has tired It's been a waste of time The morning sleeps with open eyes The lost youth lost it once again Nothing they do will ever mean anything But they've been robbed of nothing Not a purpose, not a name Beauty hides in your eyes A lone override of science My hope lies in you now I'm heavier than a broken heart You are the rendering of a dream Let's go Now
God has a wavering hand Shakes like a leaf Smoke pours out her windows It's a liar's fire Death is my teacher's bed She was going to call my mother Don't fucking bother I'm already gone
Mile after mile of lights Mile after mile of night
Hey, look at all those lights They serve to remind I cruised for miles along the seaside drive and when I arrived the world was lit I had my head in the sand At the back of the book where no one looks I keep a broken heart
Mile after mile of lights Mile after mile of night
I saw the water, the sky, the islands of lights and I knew she was lying She'd been lying all along My teacher, she was lying But she was just the lock on the door The shore fears the water because it's cold
the door was not locked so i went on inside i had been there before and i knew that i was out on thin ice i was meeting someone but no one showed up and when trouble came by i tried to find a friendly face in the night but whoever i was looking for was nowhere in sight i chose sides i lost the fight whatever happened to saturday night?
it was dark like december and the sun was on the run staggering through the streets and my fear i tried to make my escape i lay down on the pavement, tried to rest my head but i woke up from one nightmare to another full of words i'd never heard i believe they were my friends but then i saw them as ghosts and now i wonder if maybe those ghosts had been mine all the time though i think there was a reason for my actions, who knows? tonight i've got a reason and the reason is it's saturday night now I see the reason why
now i see i see the reason why - i've got a ghost that i can't escape a gloved hand in the night you're my misguiding light you are the ghost that i can't escape
I can't, I can't understand how the winter can stay this long and so cold it gets worse it only gets worse and the weaker i get the deeper it bites everything is on ice it's so cold outside everything is on ice it's so cold outside
thinking it's beginning to sink in I guess you can turn into whatever you like then what have i become?
a monster scary only to itself? everything is on ice it's so cold outside everything is on ice it's so cold outside tonight I'll try to go outside
I'll close my eyes and hope i got it all right and everything, everything will change and someday I'll trick myself, forget all this, rewrite the whole thing and the ice will melt and the winter will end and then I'll be ok and then it will, then it will be spring again for a while
it's happening again but this time you know it isn't real you know it's a mistake but mistakes are all you ever get once, you thought you'd found a way but now you know you should have known nothing ever rhymes and you know you should have just gone home
the darkness around the corner wore her name, a name that you knew well you knew that she was trouble and you knew you just could not leave it alone and when the invitation came you knew it was an introduction to the end so this is how it ends well i guess you should have guessed
it's happening again but this time there's violence in your eyes violent and strange they seem to stray as if they're always on their way but as they see her shadow edging around the corner they just don't know where to go nothing ever rhymes and you know you should just go home
cold when you see that girl you get cold when you see that girl you thought that your luck would turn you always thought that your luck would turn never thought that you'd lose your nerve you never thought that you'd lose your nerve
but you get cold when you see that girl you get cold when you see that girl
week upon week of seamless night i was going to get something off that guy got robbed and hit in the knees because i could not see for all the trees i lost my shoes, with naked feet i ran and i ran through rainy streets but when i caught up one guy had become three and i could not see for all the trees piece by piece the image cleared - no one ever made a friend around here i tried to make them see but they would not see for all the green
one night i'll fight you but not tonight this lonely night is already lost sad men with sadder ends, lonely nights and city lights i thought that i could see but i could not see for all the trees
one night i'll fight you but not tonight this lonely night is already lost
i figured it out there's nothing to hide because there's nothing inside i think i finally figured it out it fell into place there's nothing to see here there's nothing to feel here i think it finally fell into place time to go or everything will stay the same and this will only hurt this confusion must have an end now i'm going away i'm going away i wanted to stay but now i know i have to go away time to go or everything will stay the same and this will only hurt this confusion must have an end now hope tomorrow will be better i'm so tired this is going to hurt but this confusion will have an end now
you're so very late but i'm glad you came this city has eyes they keep me up at night there's somebody there with eyes that stare at night i dream a sleepless dream
small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side like a forest at night this city has eyes from somewhere outside they pan my walls like searchlights another night without sleep and another day without dreams
it's dark outside it's almost night the nights, they're all alike they'll show when i close my eyes for now i'll just sit tight
there, in the dust at my feet something flickered in the heat and then just like that it disappeared last night the mutiny spread the cops were on the run, the kids were out for blood
you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight not one sign of life
i've tried but i can't feel a thing could this really be right? someday i will stop trying fights for imitations of life everything is predefined no surprises, no defiance
you can see for miles but there's not a thing in sight not one sign of life but you can see for miles for miles
the pool was ours for just a fraction of time in the cover of night flashlights tight in our shaking hands, too rare to die
weekend comes in the wastelands you're always, or at least sometimes, on my mind disillusion tears new holes, miles wide, through an already empty space coming to at the waters edge i feel the waves embrace
you look so handsome on my bathroom floor, like the blond side of life the scent of gasoline still fresh on your hands in the cold neon light
