Just Like Ghosts
01:14

I can't see
Anything from here.
Everything I've come to know,
It's haunting me, just like a ghost.
It's haunting me.
It won't leave me alone.
Everyone I used to know,
Is haunting me. They come as ghosts,
Yeah, in my sleep.
Just like ghosts.

Cellar Door
03:00

|
I'm not excited.
In fact I don't care much for you.
I'm sick of fighting.
I know too well what its like to lose.
But I've been trying,
To find some alternate route,
Back to you;
Back to anything that once helped push me through.
I don't want to.
This cellar door leads me to home.
And I don't want you.
I know I'm better on my own.
Who are you?
And what'd you do with the other me?
The one I worked so hard to control.
I'm not excited.
In fact I don't care much for you.
I'm sick of fighting.
I know too well what its like to lose.
But I've been trying,
To find some alternate route,
Back to you;
Back to anything that once helped push me through.
I don't want to.
This cellar door leads me to home.
And I don't want you.
I know I'm better on my own.
I'm writing you.
I thought you should know.
This is your final warning.

Can't See Inside
01:20
|

|
The ground is breaking beneath my feet.
It falls away and underneath I will lay;
Silent and still, it will bury me.
A few breaths short of just enough,
Oxygen, to keep these lungs
Alive and filled, instead it's killed
Off all they've sung.
Your crystal ball's been covered red,
With blood you've spilled alone in bed.
Now you can't see inside of me, no.
Can't see how I breathe for you instead.
And now I'm out here on a limb;
My safety rope I've tied under my chin.
If it broke, I'd fall and choke
On all the trust that I've put in.

Subliminal Criminal

It was the middle of the night,
When I arrived.
With the keys in his hand,
He was my only friend
And he let me inside.
Despite the darkness,
I still knew my way around.
And I crept up the stairs
Into thickening despair
And I didn't make a sound.
Then I saw you.
And I had to look away.
It seems I can't take
Being in this place
Without filling up with rage.
So I took what I came for.
Yeah I took back the part of me
From the box that I left
Where my television set
Used to be.
As I left the bedroom,
Everything had changed.
It was a whole different house.
I hear friends and family now
But you're behind me just the same.
As I crossed the hallway,
My thoughts had filled my eyes.
And it took me a few moments
Before I began to notice
The fire and the cries.
I ran downstairs
To help everybody out.
One by one,
They made it safe and sound.
Back upstairs to get whats mine.
Through the flames I made it out just in time.
When I came to,
I was face down on the lawn.
I watched the house falling down
As it burned to the ground
But there was something wrong.
Well I made it.
Everybody was alive.
And I even saved my heart,
Then I realised the worst part;
That I left you there inside.
Left you inside.

The End
04:43
|
|||
|
Bed ridden, worms eye view of my ceiling.
All the time in the world to contemplate.
It's like watching a non-stop screen of you leaving.
I wanna give it my all but we both know that its too late.
Well I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
Well I don't know,
Just where the hell he went.
Well I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
You should know;
He'll love you 'till the end.
Gonna do my best to numb this feeling.
Yeah I'll drink it all away.
Yeah I see exactly what you're seeing
In me.
Well I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
Well I don't know,
Just where the hell he went.
Well I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
You should know;
He'll love you 'till the end.
Well I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
I don't know how he let it come to this.
I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
I don't know
What the hell is wrong with him.
Well I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
Well I don't know,
Just where the hell he went.
Well I don't know
What happened to your boyfriend.
You should know;
He'll love you 'till the end.
The end.

Little Black Cloud
01:43
|

|
There's so many things I want to say
But I don't know where to start
And I can't even think straight
Yeah my whole mind has gone dark.
In the mirror I try to confess
The darkest things I hold in my chest.
But I just cant find the words.
My tongue's as twisted as my stomach,
Tied in pretty bows.
My heart once held the blood that's
Been draining from my nose.
In the mirror I try to explain to myself;
Don't let the trigger finger take control,
Don't blow the dust from off my shelf.
But I just can't find the words.
Even at the best of times,
I have my little black cloud.

I'm Going Away
02:16
|

I had to let you go,
Like all the rest.
I should've known better than
To get you involved.
But you should know it's for the best;
That you let me go.
So far away from here.
Because either way, the day will come
When my heart just disappears.
So I'm going away.
Yeah I'm going away.
I'm going away.
Going away.
You see I lost myself,
Such a long time ago.
I fixed myself,
A suture kit and some alcohol.
I prescribed myself
What I needed to cure it all.
Now no one else
Is allowed to see through these walls.
(I'm doin' okay.)
