. . .


I don't think that you're one of us
A coated chrome doesn't rust from the inside out
It's a ways down to ghost town

I don't think that you're serious
That alone could be the death of us
And the way we know, we move slow

I wanna like your way
It's hard for me to tell you wrong
I see it in your eyes
I don't think you could lie for long
Taken like a child
Sold the silver for us all
But you're gone

Mop the ground where the wound was bled
I pray to god that he'll strike you dead before I get back
Fear my wrath

The darkest suit but I wear it well with a smile
On the way to hell with your arms and legs bound
All the way down

. . .


I know that it burns like poison in the pill
Sing me to sleep, echoes in the hills
You can't hear a word
You can't hear my broken will

The world through a windshield is careless and cheap
I toss and I turn, I can't get to sleep
Counting the hours the days that turn into weeks

I've been wrong but it's alright
There've been long and lonely nights
I was lost till I found you
Turn out the light, I'll stay if you want me to

Somehow my time got out of my hands
I just wanna stop master commands
I'm telling you true it won't be this way again

Long ways away but you're never alone
Look at the sky over our home
I'll be around a few more miles to go

I've been wrong but it's alright
There've been long and lonely nights
I was lost till I found you
Turn out the light, I'll stay if you want me to

Don't have to say it you don't have to speak
I've been awake worried and weak
Don't say a word

I've been wrong but it's alright
There've been long and lonely nights
I was lost till I found you
Turn out the light, I'll stay if you want me to

. . .


I told you everything was fine
You called 'bullshit'
And it's not worth money if your heart just isn't in it

You've gotta sharp mind but, I'm a bad liar
It's hardly a new disclosure

Bottle it up, it takes a bottle to get it out
So many pieces of broken glass, a razor wit
You've got a sharp tongue, but I'm not a bad guy
And I wouldn't try to fuck you over

You can't tell me in the South Seas that I'm missing out
You don't know me
You have hardly any common ground

Let's call it off, let's take the memories and run
I'll be the villain, the man with the smoking gun
I guess this is goodbye
So have a nice life
See you at the replay lounge

. . .


Drive around past the pines over the hills into Hollywood
Innocence never died, I can tell by the look on your face
Woah

I believe in a sanctity
So hard to breathe when your family and friends are fools nobody knows that I'm on to you
Speak to me secretly, whisper the words in my ear
Woah

I believe in a sanctity
So tongue in cheek
We know a secret we dont have to tell
Everything else is a bad rhythm
View from the lemon trees over the hill someday all this will be ours
Woah

I believe in a sanctity
Look in and clean up the wasteland

. . .


Your ghost is haunting the alleyways
Pacing the tracks where you tread
Seeking the solace of sleep
Maybe you don't know you're dead

Witness the worst of your history only to chase it again
Discreet but curiously
Repeating the act in the end

Lonely and grieving
Will your god take me too
This won't be the memory I will carry of you

I watch the sea, you lied to me
I will wait but the day never comes

Tempt me to change things because I've got the will and the blade
but my sins have cursed me
So I wander the rest of my days

Lonely and grieving
Will your god take me too
This won't be the memory I will carry of you
I believed it killed me
It's too late for the truth

I watch the sea, you lied to me
I will wait but the day never comes

Your ghost is haunting the alleyways
Maybe you don't know you're dead

. . .


Any signs of proof yet to show
We're content to be a rural joke
Tell me one thing is it something that we really need

It's in the lesson plan for school, tell the teacher he's a fool
It's a theory
It's not a theory and it's not belief

Let you know about a mortal sin (you gotta)
Tell me more about the sin I'm in (you gotta)
You're the last thing that we really need

This is not about the end of time (no it's not)
This is not a moral decline (no it's not)
You're the last thing that we really need

Do you really want a holy ghost (no we don't)
Does everybody need a holy ghost (no we don't)
You're the last thing that we really need

. . .


Call it a crutch when you plan it too much
Waste your whole life without living
Gimme a moment that should have been spent
Time isn't very forgiving

Wasting away all your calendar days
I'd tell you again but you'd miss it
There's a place for everything, everything in it's place

You look good in this suit, it's tailored for you
You're hardly alive in your skin
We've been waiting, where have you been

Maybe the sin isn't where we begin
Don't want to rush in discretion
Don't want remorse to be drowned in the shore
This isn't a class just a lesson
Start with a story you don't want to tell of the time when you may have been reckless
You may have been young and foolish then but so, so

Show me the pictures you don't wanna see
Things you don't want me to know
Everyone's asking where did you go

Tell me the one about when you were young
Cause you're only as old as you feel
Somebody might take your moment while you weren't at the wheel

. . .


This scene is a hard sell
Patience is underwhelming
Besides you don't want to sleep up late
Midnight on a dirt road
Breathe broken manifold
Time is part of my history

Long days full of bad notes translates to a bad joke
This will be my legacy one day
If I don't have a life to show put this on my tombstone
Dialer's almost dead I've gotta let you go
Hang my head next to the phone
Seems so long ago

Looking back on a long night
Sounds bad in the harsh light
At least it's with a document of what we were simpler than

I see clearly now, never will escape
Once we took the time to make a beautiful mistake
Baby I'll take this all forever
Tonight I'll see with clarity right where we belong
Never would go wrong

. . .


Stand at attention
Leading a listless life
No open redemption by the riverside what you saw was salvation on the go

Free who you were before
Find what you're looking for
Lose everything but you do it again

You're always a pilgrim leading a small crusade to find the essential
not a missionary or a guide
the past is part of this to cast aside

To free who you were before
Find what you're looking for
Lose everything but you do it again

Secret concealed in the wheat fields
There's a mystery to this history

. . .


I've been wrong but it's alright
There've been long and lonely nights
I was lost till I found you
Turn out the lights
I'll stay if you want me to
