Chasing the Ghost
My eyes are tired from the things I've seen My mouth is dry from tasting poisoned leaves I've been in a haze of green Like needles in my skin Feels like I could bleed Chasing the ghost Feeding that fix Ignoring our souls Passing the cup making it last til the last drop Passing the pipe Oh my god we're losing this fight Chasing the ghost Feeding that fix Ignoring our souls In these chains I can't be free I'm not doing drugs the drugs are doing me Sleeping in the streets So cold I can't feel my feet Chasing the ghost Feeding that fix Ignoring our souls Somebody Leave a Light On Lately she's been drinking alone Even though she knows that it is wrong She stays all day locked up in her room Consumed with a case of gloom And how did I get here To this place imbued with fear Somebody leave a light on Somebody leave a light on And she's been busy chasing the ghost Chasing that feeling that she treasures the most Sleeping in graveyards all night until the dawn Or at least until her stash is gone And how did I get here To this place imbued with fear Somebody leave a light on Somebody leave a light on And now she's in a room with people she doesn't know They say "Hello I'm mister so and so" They tell her that she needs to let go That it's easier just to say "no" And how did I get here To this place imbued with fear Somebody leave a light on Somebody leave a light on Anastasia Nights like this I want to fly from here I want to fly away from here here where the smoke fills the room With a sense of gloom And I can't find you Anastasia Anastasia Remember how hard you tried to be a ballerina Anastasia Anastasia Remember how hard you tried to fly Beneath this jacket are two broken wings That need some attending They need some mending And I'm on my knees asking why And it's you that I can't find Anastasia Anastasia Remember how hard you tried to be a ballerina Anastasia Anastasia Remember how hard you tried to fly And does our innocence just melt away Here one night and then gone the next day just like a snowflake melting on my tongue We've waited far too long to find Anastasia Anastasia Remember how hard you tried to be a ballerina Anastasia Anastasia Remember how hard you tried to fly Down Home Breadcrumbs were lost under the snow and Now I don't know which way to go and I am afraid that I am alone Alone And I've been here silent for so long And I've been here down home Down home Down home Maybe she left a light on for me cause it's gotten so hazy lately I can't see Through this darkness that enraptures me in this cold In this cold And I've been here silent for so long And I've been here down home Down home Down home So tired that I couldn't sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep eating away at me and I can't breathe Breathe And I've been here silent for so long and I've been Here down home Down home Down home Song For Daddy Every time I think of you I feel my soul fade to blue And all the days we used to share And then one day you weren't there Gone to that place in the sky I didn't have a chance to say goodbye The days are long and the nights are quiet And nothing ever feels right Like grains of sand falling through my hands Nothing happened the way I planned Gone to that place in the sky I didn't have a chance to say goodbye And I know it's out of my control But when I think of you I'd give my soul To hold you in my arms again And the quiet seeps softly into my heart I didn't think that life would be this hard It's no use wondering why Cause there are no answers that I can find Gone to that place in the sky I didn't have a chance to say goodbye Gone to that place in the sky I didn't have a chance to say goodbye Ophelia I feel like I'm fading I'm fading away just like the blue here in my jeans I feel like I'm fading I'm fading away just like the blue here in my jeans Without you here I've been coming apart at the seams And oh Ophelia Mend your wings Ophelia I feel like I'm fading I'm fading away and it chills me to the bone I feel like I'm fading I'm fading away and it chills me to the bone I'm in a room full of people and yet I've never felt so alone And oh Ophelia Mend your wings Ophelia I feel like I'm fading I'm fading away just like the blue here in my jeans I feel like I'm fading I'm fading away just like the blue here in my jeans You told me you loved me but I was all the more deceived And oh Ophelia Mend your wings Ophelia Dear America He's living in a land across the sea Far from his friends and family Can't help but get alittle lonely in the military In the military And dear America I miss you my sweet home And dear mama is everything alright Don't you fright cause everything's gonna be alright You're daddys' little boy You're your mamas' pride and joy You always say you've got to take care of things but somebody's got to take care of you too And dear America I miss you my sweet home And dear mama is everything alright Don't you fright cause everything's gonna be alright You know that I love you with your eyes so deep and blue Can't wait for you to come home cause You don't have to be alone anymore Alone anymore Angel Lullaby All through the night angels watching over you So sleep tight don't you cry Cause everything's gonna be alright Angels watching over you Angels watching over you So rest your mind and sleep tight cause everything's gonna be alright Angels watching over you Angels watching over you You are such a precious, precious jewel How could anyone ever harm you So close your eyes and sleep tight cause everything's gonna be alright Angels watching over you Angels watching over you Angels watch you all through the night So rest your mind cause everything's gonna be alright |
