Ghost Tonight

I am a ghost tonight. I just keep walking through all the walls. I take everything in. I take with me nothing at all. I was hollow and dry. I wait for somebody to set me free. If my fingers stretch around your pretty neck. Then when they drag me back you'll have to come with me. / If I told you once I told you a thousand times. Why can't I why can't I. Ever change your mind. If you kill me once. You kill me a thousand times. Why can't I why can't. I Just die and let die. / I am a poltergeist. Reaching out the only way I know how. There's an aching in. Every phantom limb. When I come back again I'll only hold you down.

Made enough at the tables. Tonight that I can spend. On someone to pretend. They'll love me til the lights are on again. Til the lights are on again. My wallet lighter by the hour. And green around my finger. I'm cashing in my vows somehow. My dear but how you linger. My dear but how you linger. I kept it simple. Broke it all down. How can we make it out. Dead on arrival. Living in doubt. Don't make a difference now. The way we said our goodbyes. Or they kept our tongues tied. Spoke volumes of forget me not. Read thoughts like graphic novels I. Tried to show you so many times. Sometimes honest. Always patient. Never promised I am. So many great ideas. Of what it shouldn't be. We wasted none of them. Used everything, everything.

We were trouble weren't we. We had plans and we were driven. All's forgiven when we go. So we were told back when we'd listen. Let's get started. Make me a martyr. But first find what I believe in. Keep your chin up kid. There's still so much you haven't seen yet. Make the best of all the time you have. Easier said than done I take it back. Give us a smile. Never let them see you giving in. Just don't break again. As a child I remember so much more than this. Just don't let them in. Flooding panic. Took for granted. Laying hands unless you stop it. How do strangers line their pockets. They will tell their dirty secrets. We're no different. We are liquid. Filling any form that holds us. And that mold that we were born from. Live to see it broken. Grow up strong. Nothing's wrong. What's the worst that could occur. We die young or live and learn. We start fires or we burn. Grow up strong. Nothing's wrong. Fearless you look terrified. We fight back or run and hide.

Drown it Out

When it happens it's a scared a lost a lonely little thing. Drags you around and begs to ride every mood swing. I was happiest. Never so miserable. They said I'd grow out of it. But it grew out of control. I keep to myself and my favorite little distractions. Maybe the good stuff's cheap. Or I'm just easy to please. Whatever makes free day feel bearable. With it's roaring crowds and closing walls. I waited way too long. There's nothing that I want that isn't gone. Outside these doors I board up. Oh what am I so scared of. I drown it out with stereo. Hello claustrophobia. I can't stand anyone but us. Every blink is just another game of flash card. They want an answer to an image that I can't comprehend. Maybe it's hiding in some secret third dimension. You never notice till you get too close and pull back again. I fill up most my days with self examination. I'm keeping busy staying indoors and ignoring my friends. I blame TV my parents or karma. For why I never tried to do anything more than pretend. I didn't sign up for being broken. I never asked for apathy. Keep hoping some day I'll be somebody. Anyone but me.

Rise

Time and time we've watched it pull apart. Falling to the ground. Oh we hate that sound. Somewhere in this wreckage those neglected. Times that we want back. Before we jumped the tracks. Our bones are weary from just endlessly rebuilding. And I keep telling myself. It's the last time. I wanna rise up from the ashes of my fading friends that blew away. We take our whole lives to get it right. And when I think I wanna throw that all away. 'Cause it'd be easier. I remember every victory together. I started thinking and that's when things start to get dangerous. I started digging and I came across some things that I lost. Memory is just a black hole swallowing what we know. Here one day then gone the next. Promises come so easy. When there's nothing else to keep. A grown up. A let down. If my then could see me now. I'd only let myself down.
