Chasing Ghosts

Take that mask off,
You got it, You got it,
A face that's rarely seen,
You're honest, you're honest,
What if we collide?
I'm on it, I'm on it,
When two worlds finally meet,
Take care, Take care, because mine's at peace,
Hold your heart close,
don't let it breathe, dont let it breathe,
We're chasing ghosts tonight,
we'll be alright, we'll be alright,
When the wheels hit the runway,
Stay quiet, stay quiet,
The lights above the clouds,
You'll hide it, you'll hide it,
They'll call you insane,
You know it, you know it,
It doesn't take any strength,
To be the same if there's no change,
Hold your heart close,
don't let it breathe, dont let it breathe,
We're chasing ghosts tonight,
we'll be alright, we'll be alright

Lovely People

Staying home,
Keep the blinds tight,
Keep your head right,
By reading things in magazines,
Take a seat,
There's always something on TV,
You can not know,
What you can not see,
It's in and out,
Selective memory,
You chomped the bit,
It must be ecstasy,
Living life,
When you're not next to me,
I surround myself with lovely people,
That stare at screens and live in holes,
I surround myself with lovely people,
That show only what they wanna show,
Take a walk,
I wonder if you can,
Smell the air,
You'd look so debonair,
Behind a screen,
It lets you show your teeth,
I surround myself with lovely people,
That stare at screens and live in holes,
I surround myself with lovely people,
That show only what they wanna show,
I surround myself with lovely people,
That stare at screens and live in holes,
I surround myself with lovely people,
That show only what they wanna show,
Staying home,
Keep the blinds tight,
Keep your head right,
By reading things in magazines,
Take a seat,
There's always something on TV

We're all gonna be, We're all gonna be
Big Stars
We're all gonna be, We're all gonna be
Big Stars
You were looking out the window, Looking out the window,
Kid you've got all the time, all the time in the world
You were looking out the window, Looking out the window,
Kid you've got all the time, all the time in the world
But you'll feel alive and make love, feel alive and make love,
live fast die young, break a few hearts
feel alive and make love, feel alive and make love,
live fast die young, break a few hearts
We're all drinking rolling thunder, drinking rolling thunder,
until we rise up above, up above the atmosphere
drinking rolling thunder, drinking rolling thunder,
until we rise up above, up above the atmosphere
feel alive and make love, feel alive and make love,
live fast die young, break a few hearts
feel alive and make love, feel alive and make love,
live fast die young, break a few hearts

Your running alibi,
Shakes loose like a leaf but,
I'm so fucking high,
I should've seen the doorknob turn,
We're all flowing back,
To 1995,
We're all penniless,
But we're still alive,
I'm gone all day today,
I don't know where to stay,
gone all day today,
I don't know where to stay,
bop bop bop bop ba ba,
bop bop bop bop ba ba,
bop bop bop bop ba ba,
bop bop ba,
We're all flowing back,
To 1995,
We're all penniless,
But we're still alive,
But we're still alive,
But we're still alive,
Said you would let it all out and not feel bad,
Said you would let it all out and not feel bad,
Said you would let it all out and not feel bad,
Said you would let it all out

Call On Me

Call on me,
anytime you want to,
I'll be here,
I'll wait beside this open line it's not hard,
to keep my feet,
stuck in the ground,
But I've gotta be,
The very last, very last,
Thing on your mind tonight,
And I wanna know,
how this goes,
but I don't wanna hear it,
I'll grind my teeth,
And sink beneath,
A sky that's falling fast,
Should've seen it coming,
I'll drag my smoke,
Last time we spoke,
We said we'd take time,
But that ring isn't mine,
I've gotta be,
The very last, very last,
Thing on your mind tonight,
And I wanna know,
how this goes,
but I don't wanna hear it,
I've gotta be,
The very last, very last,
Thing on your mind tonight,
And I wanna know,
how this goes,
but I don't wanna hear it,

Breathe In,
Breathe Out,
Breathe In,
Breathe Out,
It's all in your head, all in your head,
It's on, it's off, it never was done,
But it's something that you can't see so you don't run,
It's here and its gone, here and it's gone,
With cat food ties and little white lies,
blow smoke in my eyes, blow smoke in my eyes
But I,
I've probably said too much,
And you,
You don't say anything,
So I'll,
Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Breathe in,
Breathe out,
It's up in the clouds, up in the clouds,
It's flash flood bad blood grey skies goodbyes,
rain's gonna fall, heavy rain's gonna fall,
It tumbles on down, tumbles on down,
My broken hand landslide, tunnel vision, red sprites,
swallowed by the earth, we're swallowed by the earth,
But I,
I've probably said too much,
And you,
You don't say anything,
So I'll,
Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Breathe in,
Breathe out,

Red Sprites
05:36
|

|
The sparks,
Climb up out the otherside,
Demons pace two steps behind her,
She said she'd stay,
She'd stay,
She'd stay,
And we,
Can't breathe at this elevation,
The rings fall from the sky like rain,
You said you'd stay,
You'd stay

I wake up,
But it's like a dream,
With every last breath,
I'll fall for you,
I won't fade,
I won't drift away,
I'll cross miles with you,
I'm here to stay,
What's in a photograph? It's a memory,
Shows the passing of the days,
I've got my eyes fixed dead ahead of me,
Because love,
Honey, love,
Is not to waste,
Oh no
