All of the Ghosts (free) 04:58
"Time capsules buried in my bed, a lovesick reverie in my head. Hanging on every word we said or never said, I'm coming home, home again.. I bite my tongue every time I stray, fighting the words I need to say. Blame somebody else for the what you knew when truly? Truly, it was you. With every step I take I can hear it, I can see it, I can feel it, and I know that I'm close enough to break, break yeah... Swallow your pride, ask for some help. Burning alive in my own personal hell. Haunted by the person I...used to be. All of the ghosts. Just turn the page, let your heart forget the mess it made. It's too late to be saved. Here's my grave so lay down, lay down. Write my apologies on the table, ill be back as soon as i'm able to keep myself in check. Sincerely me, no disrespect. With every step I take I can hear it, I can see it, I can feel it, and I know that I'm close enough to break, break yeah... Swallow your pride, ask for some help. Burning alive in my own personal hell. Haunted by the person I...used to be. All of the ghosts.

The Sun 04:00
It took awhile but now I'm screaming your name to go out in style. Walking the wire, you are my one, you are my fire. Go out in flames, go out in flames, don't let them tell you we're just the same. You're so true & it's only you, so no matter what they do don't ever forget, don't ever regret me & you. I'd run for miles, just to impress you & make you smile. I write you songs, hoping one day you'll sing along. Just be my boy, don't ask me why I never want to leave your side. I am so true only for you, so no matter what I do don't ever forget, don't ever regret me & you. To me you are the sun, each embrace warmer than the one before. You could be the one I spent my whole life waiting for, but I can't find the words or the courage to hold you near. And I can't say the things you've been aching to hear. But we'd be perfect, we'd be perfect. Maybe one day you'll fix these broken wings. Maybe one day I'll learn that life is more than the pain it brings. Maybe one day, you'll see me through love's eyes. And you'll never forget cause now you are mine. You are mine. To me you are the sun, each embrace warmer than the one before. You are the one I spent my whole life waiting for. Now I have found the words, & all the courage to hold you near. I can say the things you've been aching to hear. And we'll be perfect, we'll be perfect...cause you are mine. You are mine.

You can only play it so safe. There's only so much security life can bring. You hold back on every chance you take, is it worse than always wondering could I be more? Could I have it all? If I take this jump, is it worth the fall? If I get what I want, how long til it's taken away? Wrapped up in a game & I can't stay. In the back of my mind there's always something missing...In the back of my mind there's always something I'm thinking. I had a dream that we'd be in New York City, I'd be in love with the music & you'd be in love with me. They say its impossible, well maybe, but nothings impossible to me. I got my plans & my bags packed, when I leave tomorrow I hope I never come back. And it's perfect, maybe I'm just crazy... But we could be the people that we've always wanted to be. Don't have the money but we'll find a way to stay. Cause the lights they are calling & the city's awake at night. Anything could happen if we play our cards right. I had a dream that we'd be in New York City, I'd be in love with the music & you'd be in love with me. They say its impossible, well maybe, but nothings impossible to me. I got my plans & my bags packed, when I leave tomorrow I hope I never come back. Would you follow, could you, could you follow? Will you run with me? Would you follow, could you could follow? Will you run with me?

Its half past 5 and where are you? By his side again, getting used. He lays you down. You've been here before. No matter what he says you agree, no matter where he goes there you'll be. Don't you ever get tired of being his fool, being his liar? I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again. I'm on my knees, but I will never understand. Self-destructive, self-loathing, I'm a hurricane blowing in from the ocean. I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again. The devil is my friend. You feel dirty, just admit it. Remember, you got yourself in it. And you still continue to do it, you put yourself through it. You take a shot you call him up. He makes you smile you give it up. Don't you ever get tired of being the fuel to your own fire? Oh no? Oh no...Oh no. I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again. I'm on my knees, but I will never understand. Self-destructive, self-loathing, I'm a hurricane blowing in from the ocean. I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again. The devil is my friend. But hush, hush baby, it don't mean a thing... We lay all night together but you'll never remember me. And hush, hush baby, it don't mean a thing... We lay all night together but you'll never remember. Hush, hush baby it don't mean a thing...oh no no... And hush, hush baby it don't mean a thing... We lay all night together but you'll never remember me, you'll never remember, you'll never remember. I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again. I'm on my knees, but I will never understand. Self-destructive, self-loathing, I'm a hurricane blowing in from the ocean. I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again. The devil is my friend. The devil is in my head again.

Lie #1: where you've been Lie #2: where you're going Lie #3: says that you're really in love, you're really in love with me. well i'm going out on another binge & we all know how this destruction ends but I got no conscious mind for consequence. I stumble on the thinnest line, using my addiction to pass the time. Self medicate to accommodate my heavy heart and its empty spaces, well I've got friends, & I've got plans, in dangerous, dangerous places. Lie #4: you forgot that you swore that you wouldn't drink no more Lie #5: you dont need the drugs, you dont need these pills to survive. well i'm going out on another binge & we all know how this destruction ends but I got no conscious mind for consequence. I stumble on the thinnest line, using my addiction to pass the time. Self medicate to accommodate my heavy heart and its empty spaces, well I've got friends, & I've got plans, in dangerous, dangerous places. A toast so raise your glasses to the romances we made disasters of & all the fuck-ups you feel in your gut, & all the wounds that you closed up with your chemicals...do you feel better yet? A toast so raise your glasses to the romances we made disasters of & all the fuck-ups you feel in your gut, & all the wounds that you closed up with your chemicals...do you feel better yet? Do you feel? Do you feel at all? I can't feel a thing.

Theres a secret on these lips of tasting somebody else's kiss. Does he really mean this? He talks all night to me, telling our tragedies. Is it cliche to say its chemistry? & It hurts the next day when you realize you weren't supposed to get lost in somebody else's eyes. What do I do? What do I do... I hate me, I'm a well oiled machine that's always killing the lead, killing the lead. I can't be the one...I dont know how to be in love. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...for ruining everything. I'm way past sincere & I'm way too fucking old to be hiding behind my fears. Its time to tell the truth...but I don't wanna lose you. I'm the letters underneath your bed...I'm the screaming tension ripping my arms red. What do I do? What do I do... I fucking hate me, I'm a well oiled machine that's always killing the lead, killing the lead. I can't be the one...I dont know how to be in love. I'm sorry, I couldn't be more sorry...for ruining everything. I'll pay the price, go find somebody better. Tell her that you love her more. Burn all the pictures of me on your dresser, What's really worth hurting for anymore? What do I do? What do I do.... What do I do without you?
